Think of this section as your inside scoop into working with me.
I spill all my secrets on how to fully prepare for a smooth, fun family photo shoot. You’ll find posts covering what to wear, what to bring, locations we’ll head to – everything! Consider it your photoshoot survival guide.
And since I love connecting with clients about more than just photos, I also share lifestyle tidbits I think you’ll enjoy. Maybe it’s my favorite local hiking trails for families. Or quick PNW travel ideas for families. Maybe even some board game recommendations!
Point is, this category reflects the relationship I aim to build with every client. Yes, I’m your family photographer. But I also want to be a trusted friend.
So dig into these posts knowing you’ll get photography knowledge plus glimpses into our lives in the Pacific Northwest. Can’t wait to connect further!
