Family Stories in the Seattle Area
Family life is made up of quiet moments, laughter, movement, and connection, often all at once. The Family Story is your family photography in Seattle, Redmond, and the Eastside, designed to capture your family as you are right now, in a calm, guided experience that allows genuine interaction to unfold naturally.
Whether your children are tiny or grown, this story preserves your connection in a way that feels honest, cohesive, and timeless. All Family Story experiences include a curated, full digital gallery, delivered within two to three weeks, with every beautiful moment you’ll want to revisit.
Designed Around Your Family
No two families look the same, and your experience is planned with that in mind. Sessions are guided by your family’s needs rather than a rigid timeline, allowing space for play, pauses, and natural interaction especially important for families with young children.

Planning Your Session
-
I completely understand that not every child feels excited about having their photo taken, and that’s okay! It’s my job to connect with your kids and help them participate in a way that feels natural and fun.
As a mom of two, I know firsthand that little ones can be unpredictable, and I want you to know there’s no need to feel stressed or embarrassed if things don’t go perfectly.
During our session, I’ll adjust to what works best for your child; we’ll play games, sing songs, explore different props, or even take a snack break (with your permission). The most important thing is that we make the experience fun and exciting, because that’s when the most genuine smiles and natural photos happen!
-
You will receive your online gallery of images within three weeks of your session. Since all packages include the curated full gallery, you will be able to download all photos directly from the gallery.
There are options to buy prints of any photos if you do desire and have them shipped to your house.
-
Your gallery is thoughtfully edited and intentionally selected to represent the very best of your session. I include all images that contribute to the story of your collection, ensuring that every photograph has purpose and adds value.
Each session includes a guaranteed minimum number of images, and any additional photographs beyond that are included at no extra cost when they enhance your final gallery.
-
Payment is done through an online portal with a credit card. A 25% retainer (of the original session fee) is paid upfront, the rest of the payment is due the day of the session and the card on file will be charged.
All pricing is transparent, and listed on the website. Sessions list the deliverables and the cost. Sales tax will be applied.
-
As photography is not something that most families do frequently, it is understandable that you are nervous! There is no need for concern. I will guide, prompt, and direct you and your family. I strive for session that authentically captures your family as best as possible, so there is no need be anything other than yourselves! I will prompt for natural-looking poses and capture candids throughout the session.
