When a mom or dad hires me to photograph their family, they’re not just looking for a pretty photo, they want a photo that shows real feelings. A photo that they can look at a year later and remember the missing front teeth, the admiration between parent and child, the giggles and silliness. Yes, we have fun and play during sessions, but I will also catch the sweet, softer, in-between moments that you always wished someone was there to capture. The story of your family’s love through my lens.
That’s why parents hire me. That’s the images you’ll treasure later on down the road.
In this section, you’ll find tips, ideas, and stories to help plan an epic, stress-free session celebrating your family’s unique awesomeness! I’ll cover the most beautiful locations for family photos in the PNW, ways to keep even the littlest family members having fun, a peek into real sessions with families of all kinds, and so much more. Enjoy!
