heartfelt Family Photography on film
Photographs That Feel Like Home
I photograph families on film throughout Seattle and Tacoma, either in your home or at a favorite outdoor spot. Family sessions range from simple one hour sessions to longer day in the life style experiences, and every collection includes planning support, a relaxed session, and a gallery that feels like your real life together, with Haiku and Sonnet fitting most families and The Ode reserved for the full day story.

My Approach
Family photos that feel like your family
Family sessions with me are about connection, not performance. I photograph families who want their photos to look like their actual life, with kids who move, parents who feel a lot, and a home or environment that feels specific to them.
You do not have to have it all together for this to work. You just have to show up.
What to Expect
Before Your Session
You receive a detailed questionnaire about your family, your home, your children’s personalities, and what you want from these photos. This helps me know how to show up for you in a way that feels supportive.
We then plan together through email or text. You can share ideas, questions, and any worries you have. We choose a location and talk about timing around naps, snacks, and moods.
During Your Session
On session day, I start by getting to know your kids and letting them set the pace. I guide you into positions and activities that feel natural. There is room for play, movement, and pauses when anyone needs a break.
After Your Session
You receive a curated online gallery with the strongest images from our time together. The goal is not to give you hundreds of files, but the right set of photographs that really feel like your family.
Choosing the right session type
Most families fit into one of these options
Haiku Session for shorter, focused family sessions
Sonnet Session for fuller, slower stories with time for breaks and big feelings
Ode Session for day in the life coverage that follows your routine for several hours
If you are unsure which one you need, you can inquire and tell me about your family, and I will help you choose.
THE EXPERIENCE & Investment
“I was worried my kids wouldn’t cooperate and that the chaos would show. But Brooke made everything feel calm and easy. She captured the way we really are together—little glances, the way we laugh, even the quiet moments I didn’t realize were happening. I look at these photos and think, ‘Yes, this is us.”
