playful

My family photography style relies on the outdoor locations to provide plenty of opportunities for you to play with your children. I know how I feel when I am outdoors at some of our beautiful Seattle and Everett area parks. I want to look at everything and interact with nature during my visit. I know it is the same for kids and I would love to meet families who feel the same way,

cozy

The Seattle area (western Washington) is known to have some of the coziest weather, especially when the clouds roll in. This is the perfect opportunity for families who have some of their best moments in their homes to choose an indoor lifestyle family photo session. You can curl up in blankets, make chocolate milk, read books and just be with one another. I will be there with my camera boxing up every little memory of your cozy family.

nerdy

I see all you Star Wars, horror-loving, deep artistic souls who love your hobbies and sub-cultures just as much as you love your kids and pets. Photographing families who want to wear themed-outfits or let their daughter run around in an astronaut suit for annual photos? These are some of my favorite kind of people. I think it's the fact that they break convention for family photos that intrigues me. There is no one way for a family photo session to look after all.

chaotic

Real life is messy. I can have you neatly lined up to smile for a photo but it would never match the energy of what it means to live as a family with children. There are always so many emotions from zero to 10 and so many pivots, switches and pure energy throughout the day. I love when a family embraces this part of their story during a family session. Of course, we will still get those photos of everyone smiling but this other part of organized chaos is also nice.

silly

This is my life's motto so of course I am going to want a family photo session to feel as silly as possible. I love families who are playful and unafraid of being silly for the camera. I think it brings out such sweet moments and makes for such deep belly laughs from us all. Everyone is so much more relaxed through these family photo session when they aren't thinking about the camera in front of them. So yes, if you're a silly family - hit me up.

intimate

Cuddle puddle, hug sandwiches and lots of kisses are some ways I would use to describe families who are intimate. They show affection openly and physical touch is abundant as a love language throughout these sessions. As a Seattle area photographer, I always love photographing the details during lifestyle family sessions and get so many opportunities when I meet with families who share closeness in every aspect.

i love working with every kind of family

There are so many ways to be a family and I respect and honor everyone's journey as they navigate life with their chosen people. If you live in Everett, Seattle, Bothell, Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Snohomish, Woodinville and more, I would love to meet you and get to know you and your crew. I specialize in family, maternity and newborn photography. My focus is mainly on using natural light to create raw, beautiful, candid images that will tell your family's story. Have a look at my portfolio and see if you would like to work with me.
