I get asked so often...

what is your favorite location to shoot at, or where should we do our session at? And let me tell you, I have SO many recommendations in this little head of mine I thought why not write a full blog post about it. I grew up in Everett, and recently just moved back up to Snohomish County to Lake Stevens; but before our big move we spent the last 8 years down in Maple Valley! I know some pretty awesome spots down south, in the heart of Seattle, on the way over the mountains, as well as up here in SnoCo. Check out my post below for some awesome ideas!
