A Session Guide for Dads – PNW Family Photographer

I’ve been photographing families for 15 years and the common feeling or theme is that Dads only do this for their partners.
Dance Recital Portraits – Tacoma Children’s Photographer

I love offering Fine Art School Portraits because it gives me opportunities that I never imagined.
Norbe Family Documentary Session – Gig Harbor Family Photographer

With the documentary sessions, I am hands off. I’m there to capture your every day, playing and loving each other. Some families share a meal, enjoy the beach, have a campfire. Documentary is the realness and rawness of life.
Gustafson Family – University Place Family Photographer

Melissa is a busy mom with two busy girls and a busy husband. She knew her family couldn’t hold on for my full hour session at a park somewhere, so she requested a short, in-home session. I. Love! It. She knows her family’s limits and didn’t want to push it.

Locations can be a part of your portrait story, not just a pretty backdrop.

Rachelle & Lee Maternity – Seattle Family & Maternity Photographer
