Inclusive couples sessions are all about providing a safe environment for your love to take up the space it deserves. 

inclusive couple & engagment photography n Washington & Oregon 

Finding your person in this lifetime is nothing small, it’s something that should not only be handled with care but deeply celebrated. Every couple is unique, with their own lore and history that makes their journey awe inspiring. There is nothing I love more than getting to really know my couples and provide a safe and inclusive space for your love to bloom. The trick to pictures that don’t feel overly posed and awkward is keeping things real, that’s why I take my time to get to know you so I can plan the day that suits you so it feels more like the best date ever. 

You’ve found the love of your life and all you want to do is share that love with the world. that’s all that matters. 

Unrushed Couples Sessions

You’re safe and loved here. There’s no need to fake, perform or tame parts of yourselves down, we truly believe that emotional safety is one of the most important things we all need to thrive, and that is no different with photography. No matter your journey, your story, all people and all bodies are celebrated here. 

We’re Maelynn & Kyle, your Washington & Oregon wedding photographers

We truly believe that when you’re in a safe space to be yourself, your love grows wild and beautiful. If you feel any of these things, then we’re here to help.

worried about affording family photography?

We fully understand the balance between wanting to capture your family but making it work on your budget. That’s why we offer multiple options from Klarna, Affirm, and PayPal Credit to make preserving your memories more accessible and financially manageable.

Unsure about what to wear? 

I know how stressful it can be to try to make sure you’re picking the right outfits. We offer detailed outfit coordination support, including a style guide, photo inspiration, and personal shopper support. You just let us know what level of support you’d like, and we’re just always a text away if you need our opinion on anything.

Not sure where to have your family session? 

We can absolutely help you in finding the perfect location for your session, depending on the type of session, what you’re looking for, and who’s involved. When you inquire, we’ll chat with you and provide intentional recommendations that suit you.

Worried about being in front of the camera? 

Most of our families tell us they've never had professional photos taken before, and that’s more than normal and okay. It’s not your job to know what to do; it’s just your job to be present, soak in your day, and show up as yourselves. Leave the rest to us.

what makes these sessions different

Memories can’t be forced into a timeline; that’s why we don’t have a fixed time limit on our sessions, because your moments deserve to be fully captured at their own pace.

Unlike traditional family photography sessions, we don't believe meaningful moments should be constrained by a strict timeline. Rather than watching the clock and rushing through a checklist, we want you to have a session that feels more like making memories than posing for the camera. Maybe that means wandering a beach a little longer, stopping to watch the sunset, letting your children lead the adventure, or taking time to create something artistic and unique to you.

We believe the best photographs happen when you stop thinking about the camera and how to pose and start focusing on the people and moments that matter most.

When your day is planned as an experience of spending time with people you love, posing becomes a bit less daunting. Knowing you can just be in the moment with your family, really changes not only how you experience photography but also the images you receive at the end. That said, we’ll provide as much direction as you need. We always include natural prompts, ideas, and guidance to help you feel comfortable without forcing you out of the moment.

No two stories are the same and we want to keep it that way. We help you plan your session and give outfit guidance so the say reflects your personality and the experience you want. 

Choosing what to wear doesn't have to be stressful. Every session includes access to a style guide, collaborative Pinterest inspiration, and personalized shopping assistance to help you feel confident and look your best.​ As well as assistance in choosing the perfect location and finalising the remaining details to make sure the day captures who you are authentically and naturally.

"Maelynn is not only just the sweetest and most calming presence on big days she also just takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. We also (in the best way possible) did not even notice her on the dance floor or at the reception yet still had the most amazing candid photos of us and our family and friends.”

Love Notes

Start imagining what your perfect session looks like. Whether you're celebrating an engagement, documenting your relationship, planning an anniversary adventure, or simply wanting beautiful photographs together, this experience is designed entirely around your story. There are no location restrictions, no rigid timelines, and no one-size-fits-all approach.

1. Dream It Up 

Fill out our inquiry form and tell us all about yourselves. We'd love to hear your story, what drew you to our work, and the type of experience you're hoping to create together.

2. Reach Out

We'll be in touch within 48 hours to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and begin dreaming up possibilities together. We'll help guide you toward locations and experiences that align with what matters most to you the most as a couple. From there, we'll send over a detailed quote for you to review!

3. Let's Connect

When you're ready to book, we'll send over your agreement and invoice. Once your agreement is signed and payment is completed, your session is officially reserved and the planning can begin.

4. Make It Official 

This is where the fun starts. Together we'll plan a session that feels authentically you, from location recommendations and outfit coordination to Pinterest inspiration and activity ideas. Whether you're envisioning a coastal adventure, a cozy in-home session, a mountaintop sunset, or something completely unique, we'll help bring it to life.

6. Your Couples Session Experience

When you arrive, there's no pressure to know what to do; we expect that. We'll spend the first few minutes chatting, settling in, and helping everyone feel comfortable before we ever worry about photographs. Throughout the session, we'll guide you through movement, prompts, and poses that feel natural and authentic to you and your story. By the end, most clients tell us it felt more like spending time with friends than being in front of a camera.
