Baby Yola

[divider style=“thin”]

The Western lowland gorilla is critically endangered in the wild.
If we lose them, we lose something very important for humanity.

Baby Yola turned one year old November 20th, 2016.
Woodland Park Zoo — Seattle, Washington

Yola’s mother Nadiri keeps a close eye on her while she plays.

Yola loves to jump around in the hay.

She is a bundle of joy and full of energy.

Nadiri wants to take a nap, but patiently watches Yola having fun.

She has other family members to play with while mom relaxes.

Aunt Akinji loves to play with her, but she’s just not in the mood.

All Seven for Sunday photographs are shot weekly by Crystal Hoeveler

I'm a professional photographer specializing in lifestyle portraits, street, and nature photography. Living on Whidbey Island, Washington, I love to showcase the seasonal beauty of the Pacific Northwest. As a photographer, the natural surroundings of the region inspire me to bring a positive outlook to everyday life.

Since June 2011, I've been shooting a weekly photo series – an inspirational project I call Seven for Sunday. I'm available for portrait sessions, commercial assignments, and commissioned work. Please contact me for a personalized rate quote.
