A Golden-Hour Portrait Session at La Push, WA
If you’ve never been to La Push, WA, put it on your list immediately — it might just be my favorite stretch of coastline in the whole state.
Why I keep bringing people to La Push
I love taking people to areas like this in Washington. Between the sea stacks, the driftwood, and the ever-present mist rolling off the water, it’s the perfect setting for photoshoots that feel a little wild and a lot unforgettable. I took my friends Zane and Yela out here for a quick session, and it was everything I hoped it would be.
Wandering the coast of Olympic National Park
La Push sits right on the edge of Olympic National Park, on the Olympic Peninsula — one of every Washington photographer’s favorite places to shoot. Zane and Yela spent the shoot just walking the coastline, enjoying each other’s company, and that easy, unhurried energy is exactly the emotion I wanted to capture.
That unmistakable La Push light
The sunsets here are always a little different — the mist off the water makes for genuinely dreamlike photographs, and no two sessions at this beach ever look quite the same.
