Olympic Peninsula Couples Session: Alyssa + Art

This little spot is one of my favorites in the Pacific Northwest. After their wedding last August, Alyssa and Art thought, let''s do this again, minus the formal wear, and add the pups. We headed out to the Olympic Peninsula with their two Brussels Griffons, Queso and Cotija (Coti for short) for a little adventure session.

I love this lake because you never know what type of weather you’re going to get - I’ve had rain, snow, sun, and hail, all within an hour here. But the best part is, it’s fully functional year-round. One challenge of being a photographer in the Pacific Northwest is dodging the snow and other wild weather, but this place comes through rain or shine, all year long. I love the freaky old stumps, light green mossy grass, and textured lakebed. How great is the giant boulder they climbed with these dogs? If you’re looking for a winter spot for the perfect adventure session (that allows dogs!) let me know, and I’ll tell you my secrets :)
