Eli’s mom wanted one thing for this session: to celebrate her one-year-old and capture him being himself. And honestly, that’s exactly what we did! From the very first moment, Eli was curious, silly, and full of energy, and we spent the session following his lead—letting him explore, play, and show off his little personality. Even…
I love when past clients refer friends and family—it’s the highest compliment I can receive! That’s how I got to meet Melanie and her family this late summer. They were ready for a fun, relaxed family session, and I couldn’t wait to spend an afternoon capturing their connection, energy, and joy. We met at Squalicum…

This session was…
One of my favorite things about family photography is getting to work with entire families — not just parents and kids, but grandparents, grown siblings, partners, and little ones all together in one place. These sessions are always full of energy, connection, and meaning, and this multi-generational family session was no exception. This family gathered…
