Now Booking Fall Mini Sessions
Hey there, awesome families!
So, summer's wrapping up, and we're waving goodbye to those lazy, sun-soaked days. The days are getting shorter, and there's a definite crispness in the air. You know what that means, right? Fall is just around the corner!
Sure, we might be a tad sad to see summer go, but hold onto your pumpkin spice lattes because autumn is about to rock our world! Think cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves underfoot, and apple picking adventures that'll make you say, "This is the best time of the year!"
As we bid adieu to summer's carefree vibes, let's give fall a high-five and get ready for some epic pumpkin carving sessions, marshmallow roasting nights, and those heartwarming family gatherings that make this season so unforgettable.
To book your fall mini session, simply contact me via my website or email. I can't wait to capture the beauty of springtime with you and your family!
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.
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.
What if mini sessions were like short stories? An activity that brought your family together, spending time engaging with one another, unplugged, and focused on the people you love most. Ignoring the camera and just allowing your life to be documented.
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.
I love this family. They are one of my brand new fams who I fell in love with the very first second we were together. They have told me time and time again that they loved their session at Golden Gardens.
Why did they love it??
Golden Gardens Beach is iconic - ask anyone in the Seattle area for recommendations on a great beach for the fam and this is top of the list.
Golden Gardens is gorgeous - expansive views, the Olympics in the background, trees, nature, and refreshing PNW weather. What more could you ask for?!
I’ve been offering holiday traditions sessions in November and December, documenting my families doing the special traditions that they love most, together. Baking cookies, decorating their Christmas tree, caroling, any memory-filled event that is special and important to them.
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while to offer these in the fall as well. Families can put on their costumes, decorate their porch for Halloween, carve their pumpkins… the sky is the limit!
Golden Gardens is a magical place.
And I love taking photos of my families there. Not only is the landscape beautiful, but it is a local park that is a meaningful memory-filled place for many of my clients.

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.
