The Thompson Family- Sherwood Family photographer

I had the joy of photographing a beautiful family of five in Sherwood, Oregon—and what a fun session it was! With three energetic kids, there was no shortage of laughter, movement, and sweet, unscripted moments.

We met at a quiet local park just as the evening light softened, giving us that golden glow every photographer dreams of. The kids ran through the tall grass, they played, and took turns making each other laugh—while I captured all the chaos and love that makes family life so special.

Sherwood is such a perfect place for outdoor family photography—plenty of open space, a peaceful atmosphere, and that signature Pacific Northwest greenery. It’s the kind of location that lets families relax, be themselves, and enjoy the experience.

This session was a beautiful reminder that the best family photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones—they’re the real moments. The giggles. The hugs. The in-between glances. That’s where the magic lives.
