My husband and I decided to go out to the castle ruins once more before we move. I had such a fun time with my bridal/boudoir session last time, I thought it would be a great pace to take the kids. Wow- I was wrong! It was about 90 degrees when we got there. We got there too early, and had to entertain them for an hour and a half before we could start shooting (we didn’t want to hike back, just to hike out again). Also, apparently this place is more “discovered” as there was lots of broken glass, trash, etc everywhere. It’s so unfortunate the way people treat places.

All turned out well, of course We did encounter a rattle snake on our hike back to the van, but thankfully it was a non confrontational encounter.

I absolutely love this place, and I am so excited to explore around the beautiful Pacific Northwest once we get out there- there are so many places I can’t wait to do sessions at!
