You’ll want to remember this.

I’m not saying you’ll want to remember every sleepless night or lunch of toddler left-overs, but you will want to remember the essence of who you are right now. This is your story.

My approach

Photos should be fun, frequent, and full of love. Whether you prefer to style your family from head to toe or you would rather I just come over and capture a typical Saturday morning at home, when your session starts I want you to relax and leave everything to me. As long as YOU are smiling and looking lovingly at your family, I can make it all work.

Over the years I’ve also come to the belief that it’s not enough to just have photos taken and let them sit on a hard drive. We get so excited about our images when we see them, and we have great intentions to make that album or create that gallery wall, but do we ever actually get around to making those things happen? Rarely (says the photographer with no photos on her walls!). Life gets in the way, I know. But that’s where I can help. Every collection purchased from a session with me comes with digital images AND a print credit so you can have something tangible right away. You’ll have something physical to hold or hang on your walls and to pass down for generations.

Photos in your home

There’s nowhere as personal and as revealing of who you are than your own home, surrounded by the life you’ve made for yourselves. Consider a storytelling session at home.

I’ve got some favorite places I like to shoot, but we can work together to decide on the right location for your family. What kind of setting feels like YOU? City? Meadow? River? Beach? We are so lucky to have so many beautiful options in the Seattle area!

Stories to tell

Expecting.

There’s nothing like the days/weeks before you bring a child into your family. So much excitement, strangeness, beauty, unknown.
Newborn.

Lifestyle newborn sessions celebrate your new addition in your home (or in studio if preferred) and focus on the beauty of your tiny human and the love you all have for each other.
Family.

Whatever stage you are in, you can count on it not lasting long (even if it feels like forever) and it’s all worth documenting. Whether you want holiday card portraits or documentary-style images, the important thing is to capture the love you have for each other.
