Karli + Aaron’s Cozy Couples Session at That PNW Cabin

I connected with Karli on Instagram a few years ago, back when she was living in Hawaii. She later moved to Washington to build a tiny home with her boyfriend, Aaron, tucked into the Cascade Mountains. Since they didn’t live too far away anymore, they hopped over to That PNW Cabin, located in Stevens Pass, for a cozy couples shoot centered around the cabin’s brand-new hot tub.

Couples Photos at That PNW Cabin

My cabin sits in Stevens Pass, the gateway to hiking, skiing, and so much more in the Cascade Mountains. Lush forests and cascading rivers surround the property, and the best part is that it’s just one hour northeast of Seattle — close enough for an easy trip, far enough to feel like a total escape. Leave the hustle and bustle behind, spend a few days (or more) with your love reconnecting with each other and with nature, and let me capture some genuine, unposed moments between you along the way.

A Steamy, Low-Key Kind of Session

There’s something about a hot tub session that strips away all the performance of a typical photoshoot. Karli and Aaron just soaked, laughed, and existed together, and the photos followed. No forced poses, no stress — just two people who moved to the mountains together, enjoying an afternoon that felt like their actual life.

Take a look through Karli and Aaron’s photos to see exactly why a couples session at the cabin might be worth adding to your own calendar. If a slower, more intimate kind of session sounds like your speed, I’d love to host you at the cabin too.

The cabin hosts weddings too, hot tub included. Here are the details on eloping at That PNW Cabin.
