Photography Options

No forced smiles. No pressure to perform. Just space to be together while the moments unfold. With your partner, your kids, your dogs, too.

Family photos should feel joyful, not stressful.

Seattle Photographer for Every Season of Life

Meet your Photographer

Hi, I’m Emily — baby whisperer, dog mom, design buff, and former teacher. If you love low-key, natural light photography that makes you breathe a happy little sigh, you’ll feel right at home here.

I’m a Seattle lifestyle photographer working with families throughout Seattle and the surrounding areas for over 10 years, documenting newborn, family, and senior sessions as they unfold. Sessions are relaxed, relationship-driven, and designed to feel real.

Seattle Lifestyle Photography That Feels Easy

No matter the location, getting photos made should feel fun and low-pressure. I also get that it can feel overwhelming. What if your toddler refuses to smile? What if your baby cries the whole time? What do you even wear? And what is your dog is not cooperating?

That’s where I come in. I’ll guide you step-by-step so you can show up feeling confident, ready to go with the flow, and actually enjoy being together. Real life is welcome here, dogs included.

Emily has a beautiful eye for photography. She is great with kids (being a momma herself) and I love the way she captured my family's personality. She also makes an effort to scope out locations and lighting for her shoots, so she knows the perfect time to show up. You will not go wrong with this amazing photographer with her many years of experience and the bonus is she will make you laugh!

We enjoyed working with Emily! She was very professional, flexible, an excellent communicator. Due to the unpredictable weather in WA, she had the idea of doing a family photo session in our home, which was unique and fun! We have 5 kids and she made them all feel comfortable, which can be hard to do! Thank you Emily!

Emily truly has an eye for family photography and such a knack with the kids! My partner and and I could not stop talking about how her method was like night and day from everything we have experienced with other photographers in years past. We so appreciate her patience, ingenuity, creativity and most of all her KINDNESS.

We are so excited to start putting these up on walls and in an album!!

We did a newborn photo session last year and a fall family photo session this year and were very satisfied both times. Emily did a great job capturing pictures of our 2 little boys in action and getting them to smile for the picture while we hardly ever can!

Emily captured the personality and joy of our mommy/daughter bond. I was nervous about taking family photos, because I'm usually behind the camera. Emily instantly put us at ease and made everyone feel comfortable - and lovely! I'm so glad we'll have photos to treasure!
