Seattle WA Family Photographer
Lifestyle family sessions designed around how your family actually moves and gathers together through all stages of life...
Based in Seattle, I photograph families in a way that feels structured enough to guide you and relaxed enough to let real moments happen. Whether at home, outside in the Pacific Northwest light or in my dog friendly Shoreline studio, sessions focus on preserving this chapter as it is.
Seattle Family Sessions That Meet Your Kids Where They Are
With over a decade of photographing families in Seattle, I know sessions rarely unfold in a straight line, and that’s part of the beauty. I guide gently, adjust quickly, and create space for kids to move at their own pace. Whether your child is shy, high-energy, or neurodivergent, sessions are shaped around who they are — not who they’re expected to be. The goal is an experience that feels steady, supportive, and true to your family.
Experienced with kids. Creating movement + joy. Calm behind the camera.

Wow! Emily is a true professional! From the look, feel, and functionality of her website, to the heart-warming experience of the shoot itself - it was all wonderful with Emily Ann. Her expertise was appreciate as we planned for weather changes, and outfit needs to ensure the experience was a positive one for all. My kids warmed up to her right away, and she came equipped with lots of ideas for capturing great candid shots as well as posed group shots. I highly recommend her for capturing your family's special moments. THANK YOU EMAILY ANN!

My studio is located in Shoreline but I'm all over the Seattle and Bellevue area for family photos in some amazing locations. For a few ideas of where I like to capture these family memories, check out this recent post with a few of my favorite Seattle area spots for family photos.
How far will you travel for family photos?
100% please bring your dogs to your family photos. Fun fact, I have one of the only dog friendly photography studios in the Seattle area. So whether outdoors or inside the studio, your pup is welcome.
Can I include dogs in family photos
From cozy neutrals to pops of color - whatever floats your boat! Once your session is booked, you will receive a What to Wear guide. I also offer to curate your whole look if you wish! The most important thing is to wear what you feel comfortable and beautiful in!
How should we dress for a photo session?
I love photographing outdoors, but there are lots of reasons we might change it up and shoot in one of the three studios I utilize or even in your home. Sometimes we are dodging that Puget Sound weather while other times your family might just do better indoors. I've got lots of great options!
Is everything outdoors or do you ever shoot inside?
