Where is your happy place? Since I was a little girl I’ve always loved Leavenworth, WA for the fun had with my sisters, and boyfriend/fiance/husband (he was forced into my happy place very often! Ha!) It was a summer destination full of laughs, water adventures, and good food.

It’s amazing getting to live in Chelan, Washington as it is so many people’s happy place. Whenever I’m anywhere in Washington State and I mention I live in Chelan, someone relives a favorite memory from their time there. There are families who have come here every year for their entire lives, whether to a condo, cabin, or family’s home. It’s their happy tradition. So what better way to savor that tradition than have your family photos done in the place you love?!

The Sessions family has been coming to their (great) grandparent’s cabin since the 70’s. They’ve witnessed Chelan grow and change perhaps more than many locals in the area. (I asked for recommendations from them!) It’s where they remember some of their best memories with their late father/grandpa too. You could see both the joy and pain in their faces as we talked about the great times past at that love filled cabin.

They shared with me that this might be the last summer at the cabin as the family was considering putting it on the market that fall. So that evening we captured some sweet moments of three generations sharing their love for the cabin one last time.

Thank you Sessions for letting me into your beautiful tradition and capturing one last Lake Chelan family reunion.
