cherry blossom mini sessions
Cherry blossom mini sessions.
Seattle Arboretum. Spring 2022.
The cherry blossoms at the arboretum create a wonderful backdrop for your family pictures.
The landscape is classic PNW! Cherry blossoms are iconic in Seattle. For most people here, the cherry blossoms are the first sign of spring. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the end of winter than with beautiful pictures of your family with these lovely cherry blossoms.
Like most photographers, I am super booked up in the fall and holiday months. These spring sessions give me the chance to offer photos during a less busy time of year for all of us. I love to photograph my families celebrating the new life of spring. The return of sunlight and longer days, the buds and blooms breathing new life to the nature surrounding us. It’s a wonderful time to get your family pictures!
As a documentary family photographer, I focus mainly on candid, real-life moments. I will take a handful of unposed, lifestyle portraits, but most of your time will be spent just being you, and allowing the family fun to unfold. You just focus on your family, playing in the sand, reading books, running through the trees, and skipping rocks while I document the deep love and fun you have with your favorite people on the planet.
Love, your photographer

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.
One of the most exciting things about being a lifestyle and documentary photographer is the opportunity to create a connection with my clients and become a part of their lives for a brief moment in time. I love getting to know each of you, hearing your stories, and being able to capture the essence of who you are through my photographs.
People are always asking me about mini sessions. I get it. Your kids are growing like weeds. Your life is busier than you ever thought possible. And maybe that day in the life session that your heart is longing for, just always seems slightly out of budget.
I am so excited to share my mini sessions, fall beach sessions at golden gardens!! Let’s celebrate this beautiful fall weather and the beginning of the holiday season with photos of your family spending time at the beach!

Hang out with your family while you spend some time at the beach. Bring a picnic, spend time with one another, and soak in the beauty of a classic PNW landscape as we document your family and your beautiful life together!
Seasonal beach mini sessions have quickly become my most popular lifestyle mini session offerings in Seattle.
The beach creates a wonderful backdrop for your family pictures.
When I photograph a family, I always plan an activity. This helps facilitate those real, candid, memory-making-filled moments!
One of the very best ways to facilitate memorable family photos with your little ones is to involve FOOD.
I love to plan most of our family hangs around eating. So, naturally, the Ballard Farmer’s Market is one of our go-to family dates. Whether you’re into mounds of kale, locally brewed pickle brine, or hot off the press cinnamon donuts, the farmer’s market has you covered.
Prepare to snack your way through your family photos!
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.
