Your love story continues to build in all the seemingly small and quiet moments that end up being the loudest in your heart.
Washington & Oregon family photography
I know those little moments matter, when you look over at your kid doing something and your heart just feels full, when you're looking at your teenager remembering all the past versions of themselves in that one instant, when you’re hand is on your tummy feeling a kick knowing you're on the threshold of everything changing. Those small moments have such power to make us just stand completely still, as if moving might make them pass us by even faster. When working with families, I've trained myself to look for these moments and capture them, so that no matter how quickly time passes, you’ll never forget how it felt.
These sessions are intentionally designed for you to take a moment to savor the people you love most, and be flexible, no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Unrushed Family Sessions
From engagement, to wedding, and most recently, our maternity photos, they go above and beyond during your photo session.
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?
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.”

When you arrive, there's no pressure to know what to do; we expect that.
