Cozy and Relaxed In-Home Newborn Session - Shoreline, Wa

With her friendly and furry doggie sibling nearby at all times, this little girl seemed so peaceful, cozy and completely settled in at home even though it had only been two weeks. I’m sure someday she will look back at these photos and see how enamored her parents were during those first days with her.

When we chatted on the phone prior to their session, her parents were looking forward to a laid-back low-stress newborn session. The great thing about the documentary approach is that I just come over and hang out with your family, just like a friend would. We go with baby’s flow and I document your daily lives in this season. My goal is to create a visual time capsule of those sweet newborn days that speed by in a blur.

A Fun First Birthday Documentary Family Session - Bothell, Wa

No matter how you celebrate, a first birthday is a big deal! You as parents have survived one whole year with this little person; who you’re still very likely in awe of everyday. Your baby is not as much of a baby any more, although I won’t tell you that in person ever because I know first hand it would have caused me to break into tears if someone would have told me that. And finally, this little person is now super active, learning everyday, and growing! It’s a whole new chapter in their life and yours too.

Mara’s parents planned a nice low-key evening with visiting family to celebrate her first birthday. Surrounded by family she tried some cake, but wasn’t a huge fan this time around. She was way more excited to just hang out with everyone, find Mario on her cake plates, and investigate some new toys during her birthday gathering!

Happy first birthday little one!

Year in the Life - Enrollment for 2022

The end of the year is closing in on us and each day seems to fly by faster than the one before with the holiday season already in the air. However, around the corner awaits a new year to do all the things you perhaps didn’t get around to doing this year (thanks pandemic) or a year for new experiences.

It’s also a time to look at all those photos on your phone from the previous year as companies send out emails and coupons to create photo books from your camera roll. (Yup, they’re already landing in my inbox.) Can you do it before that sale runs out? You may try. You may succeed, but you’ll probably loose sleep (I speak from experience). Now instead, imagine the month of January rolls around and a magical photo album filled with professional photos of your family, that include photos of you too, shows up wrapped and delivered to your front door. All. Done. For. You.

Enter the Year in the Life Photo Package.

A monthly 1 hour documentary session that allows you to have professional documentary photos of your family from the ENTIRE year AND have them printed in an album for you, with no extra work for you. Monthly photos, priceless memories, and an heirloom album that will be treasured for years to come. You’ll no longer need to worry about getting photos taken throughout the year, because you’ll have your own family photographer visit you each month and you’ll have the files each month to share as well.

Susan and Sean - Kenmore Family Session

When Susan reached out about booking a session for her, her husband, and their dogs I have to admit, she had me at dogs. We did a quick portrait session in one of my favorite locations and their dogs were good as gold. If you ever wonder if pets are allowed during any of my sessions or if I’d be okay coming to your house full of pets for a documentary session… here’s the quick answer, YES, always yes.

Here’s a sneak peek from their adorable session!
