What a Session With Me Looks Like

When you book a session, I guide you through everything so the experience feels easy.

Every session includes:

  • planning guidance so you know exactly how to prepare.

  • help with location and wardrobe if you want it.

  • a relaxed session focused on connection and real moments

  • professional film photography

  • a curated online gallery of your images

My goal is simple, for the session to feel relaxed and the photos to feel deeply meaningful.

“The session was so calm, so intentional. I didn’t feel pressure to perform or pose just to be with my family. And the film images… they feel like something we’ll hold onto for decades. Like someone finally saw us the way I see us.”

— Karie L

How we create your photos together

Step 1. Reach out

You inquire and share what you’re hoping for, whether it is a Seattle maternity session, a Tacoma newborn session at home, or a family session with older kids. I respond with honest guidance about which option fits best.

Step 2. IN DEPTH questionnaire

You receive a questionnaire that goes beyond basic details. I ask about your family, your home, and what this season in Seattle or Tacoma feels like for you. Your answers help me plan a session that feels specific to your life.

Step 3. Collaboration and planning

We talk through ideas over email or text. We can build a simple vision board, choose locations in Seattle or Tacoma that matter to you, and plan outfits that fit how you naturally live. This is a collaborative process so you feel seen before we even start shooting.

Step 4. Session day

On session day, I meet you where you are. In-home sessions in Seattle and Tacoma are calm and flexible. Kids can be silly, clingy, or shy. You can be tired, joyful, or somewhere in between. I gently guide when needed and also step back to let real moments happen.

Step 5. Your images

You receive a curated gallery with images that reflect your story. No sorting through hundreds of near-duplicates. Just honest, thoughtful photographs of your life in Seattle or Tacoma, the way it actually feels.

The Home Movie

A Super 8–inspired film add-on

Why Film?

Film photography creates soft, timeless images with a depth and texture that feels closer to memory than digital photography.

Each photograph is intentional, and the result is imagery that feels both artistic and deeply real.

These photographs become more valuable with time.

One day your children will look back at them and see not just what life looked like, but what it felt like to be loved in this season.

If that matters to you, I would be honored to photograph your family.
