Let's talk about Golden Gardens for a sec, because if you've followed me for any amount of time, you already know this place has my whole heart.
Every fall (and honestly, all year round) I find myself pulling into that parking lot again and again, and I never get tired of it. There's just something about that stretch of Seattle shoreline that makes every single session feel a little magical.
Golden Gardens faces west, which means it's practically made for sunset sessions. As the sun drops toward the Olympics across the Sound, the light turns soft, warm, and a little hazy in the best possible way. It bounces off the water and wraps around everyone in the frame. I've photographed a lot of sunsets over the years, and there's just something about the way the light behaves here — it's forgiving, flattering, and endlessly photogenic.
As a Seattle-based lifestyle and documentary family photographer, my goal is to capture those precious moments that make up the story of your family. My approach is simple: I want to capture your family in a natural, unposed way that showcases the real personalities and relationships that make your family unique.
Capturing the special moments of life is an important part of parenting, and a lifestyle newborn photographer is the perfect way to document these moments. From traditional family portraits to documentary-style sessions, a professional photographer will be able to capture the beauty of the moment in the most unique way.
Sounds pretty magic, right? Well, it is. For so many reasons.
I am all about REAL family photos. Documenting your family, living your best life TOGETHER.
The nursery is BEAUTIFUL - from the lights to the greenery, there are so many lovely spots to take wonderful family photos.
There are so many things to do! Grab a warm beverage, check out the Christmas train, pick out your wreath or tree, and best of all, hang with your favorite people on the planet.
Holiday mini sessions at the Tree Farm are so fun. I loooove hanging out with families and taking real-life, meaningful photos of their time together.
It’s a great place for you to visit with your family, let in all the beauty of the nature surrounding you and JUST RELAX for your family pictures!!
Every time I photograph your family, I will look for details that help tell the story of your day. This helps tell a cohesive story of your time together as a family. Details are a great way to show those fleeting moments of childhood in, well, more detail.
From the smashed strawberry in your baby’s hands to the mud between your big kid’s toes, I want to document it all, so that you can relive those precious memories over and over for a lifetime.
Your senior portraits are all about YOU—your style, your personality, your story. This milestone is a celebration of everything you’ve accomplished and all the exciting things ahead, and your photos should feel just as unique and special as you are. That’s why my number-one goal during your senior portrait session is to help you feel comfortable and confident so we can capture the real, authentic you.
Let's talk about Trinity Tree Farm for a second, because if you've been to a session with me out there, you already know - this place is an absolute blast to photograph. Tucked up on a hilltop in Issaquah with views out toward Mount Rainier on a clear day, it's easily my favorite spot for tree farm minis, and honestly, one of my favorite places to just hang out for an afternoon in general.
Here's what makes sessions at Trinity so much fun.
