Easier than you're probably expecting
A short chat, a location that suits the light, and then it's mostly just your family being yourselves. Here's what the whole thing actually looks like.
Three steps, start to finish
A quick conversation
Golden hour, your location
Your gallery, within three weeks
We spend 20 minutes on the phone — no questionnaire, no pressure. You tell me what matters and I figure out the rest.
I scout the timing and the light so all you have to do is show up. The warmth does the rest — and I stay out of the way.
Every image is edited to look like the day actually felt — honest light, real color. No presets that make everyone look the same.
What if my kids won't cooperate?
That's actually my favorite condition to shoot in. Chasing, hiding, refusing to look — it's where the real pictures live. I've never needed a family to perform.
Things people usually ask
How long does a session run?
Usually 60 to 90 minutes — long enough to settle in and forget I'm there, short enough that nobody gets tired or hungry.
If something isn't covered here, just ask — I reply within one business day and there's no such thing as a silly question.
Do you travel outside the Pacific Northwest?
Yes — I travel for sessions regularly. Reach out with your location and dates and we'll work out the details together.
