Because we planned an outdoor portrait session, the rain literally put a damper on our plans, but we persevered and under the cover of the pavilion at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, Washington we were able to make it happen.

Being a two-day event, I had plenty of time to walk around and get a chance to talk to a lot of the re-enactors and participants, and to make a bunch of portraits. It […]
