Point Defiance Rose Garden | Ellie’s Tween Session

This is Ellie and we met at Point Defiance for her tween portrait session back in June.

This arbor is a great focal point and I’m so glad the roses were blooming.  It’s looks like we had this part of the garden to ourselves, but it was a very popular spot this evening.  A little patience really does pay off!

Ellie just finished her 6th grade year, likes to play volleyball and participated in her first school production this past year.  I admire her willingness to get up on stage!

Ellie has the most quiet confidence about her.  If she was nervous at all during her session, she hid it really well.  I also think she has the best “serious smile”.

Ellie wanted a natural setting for her session and I’m so glad she chose Point Defiance Park.  It is one of my favorite locations to shoot at in Tacoma.  Many thanks to Ellie and her mom for a great evening!
