Full Circle at the Mountain | Mary + David's Maternity Session | Mount Rainier National Park

Some sessions feel like a full circle moment. Mary and David's maternity shoot at Mount Rainier National Park was one of those. I photographed their wedding in San Francisco years ago, and here we were again, this time with a baby on the way and one of the most dramatic mountain backdrops in the Pacific Northwest.
