Right after Christmas I got a chance to photograph G and her boys again. I only had one request: it had to be in a specific spot I’ve been trying to find a reason to re-visit.

I get really excited when a spot I photograph in frequently shows me a whole new world and a new perspective. It gets me excited and re-invigorated to go there again.

Over Thanksgiving my kids introduced me to Pokemon Go, and as it so happens the start of Elevator Trail is a Pokestop. In one of our visits and Pokemon collections I looked up and saw a family of coniferous trees. While I’ve come to Elevator Trail many times, this was the first I saw them. But seeing the light come through them just made me giddy. I instantly had an image in my mind I wanted to create here (involving some Photoshop), and I cajoled G in helping me make it happen. While I am still working out my Photoshop kinks, here’s some mom & kid family portraits 🙂
