PLAY is what family is made of. That’s what I love about my family sessions with young kids – that we get to goof off, run around, play games and capture the natural joy that explodes from their little faces as they’re with their favorite people.

Elyda | Bellingham Home Newborn Photography
This was honestly one of my favorite sessions of 2022. A beautiful happy baby, creamy colors, whimsical boho chic decor and gigantic windows… there was nothing not to love.
The Throgmortons | Blaine Beach Family Photos
Everyone loves the beach. And everyone loves sunrises (well, the idea of them, anyway). Put them together and you get a glorious golden hour family session at a private community beach in Blaine, with this beautiful family. I loved the combination of snuggles and rock throwing that went on with these two cuddly, rambunctious boys!
Woods Family | At Home Family Photos
It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years already since Katie & Timias celebrated their gorgeous wedding in Santa Barbara, and since then their lives have kept up being just as crazy as ever. Katie is the baseball manager extraordinaire (OMG their engagement session at the Aquasox stadium!!) and now that they’re across the…
Mike + Amy | Anniversary Photo Session
20 years! That’s a milestone. My friends Mike & Amy celebrated their anniversary this year and we got together in a random field in Ferndale for a quick mini session to commemorate how cute they still are. 😉 Look! They’re adorable.
The Carlsons | Vanderyacht Park Mini Session
When you have two rambunctious boys running around your house all the time, undertaking “family photos” can be a daunting thought! But we had so much fun running around Vanderyacht park for our mini session, and the boys had a blast – laughing, racing and even playing in a random canoe laying on the grass….
The Wyss Family | Waypoint Park Mini Session
I cannot tell you how much I love this family – and how many times I giggled while editing their session this year. After a rained-out reschedule we managed to catch the last bit of sun one evening at Waypoint Park and chased the toddler around while throwing rocks and watching for trains… it was…
The Osborns | Woodstock Farm Family Photos
I adore this family. Their rambunctious kids are so much like mine – our daughters even share the same name! – and after so many years of photographing their family milestones I am definitely hanging out with friends for every Osborn session. 🙂 Woodstock Farm at sunset – what a beautiful location! The best part…
The Loomos Family | Vanderyacht Park Family Photos
I’ve had the privilege of photographing Adam & Caitlin from their wedding up through their newest life adventure – the addition their soon-to-arrive rainbow baby, and Loomos-minion #2! We had so much fun at Vanderyacht Park for a fully fall photo session. Can’t wait to meet the newest Loomos boy!
The Songs | Vanderyacht Park Family Photos
Way back in 2015, we met Edwin and Rosemary when they were starry-eyed kids getting married (and their wedding is still gorgeous! Check it out here.) Fast forward a few years and they now have two wild kids of their own, but are just as gorgeous as they ever were. I couldn’t get enough of…
The Carlsons | Hovander Park Family Photos
There are some people you encounter in life who are inspiring just because of the authentic, deep-rooted person that they naturally are. Jess is one of those people for me. She lives her ordinary life with an extraordinary heart, with a depth of love and joy that is open to everyone she comes into contact…
The Hiorns | Extended Family Photos at Semiahmoo
When you have a close-knit extended family, it’s a treat to get all together for family photos. Bob & Sandy Hiorns have created a beautiful legacy within their family, and to help celebrate their 51st anniversary this year (wow!), everyone came out to Semiahmoo to hang out for a sunset evening on the beach with…
The Williams | Fairhaven Family Photos
I love it when families want an urban twist on their photo session. I got to meet up with this awesome family in downtown Fairhaven this summer and we had a blast wandering around our beautiful little town!
Joey + Rachel (+Leo) | Woodstock Farms Family Photos
Rachel and Joey are getting married in just a couple of weeks, and I got to meet up with this sweet family at Woodstock Farms for a family / engagement session… but let’s be honest, it was all about adorable Leo!! I can’t wait to see his pudgy little grin again!
Baby Colton | Lynden Lifestyle Newborn Photos
The Karuzas are literally one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever met. And Ashley should be a home designer, with how gorgeous she’s decorated every room of their house. This lifestyle newborn session was an absolute dream!
The Hansgens | Tennant Lake Family Mini
This beautiful family is growing up so fast, and I swear James & Emma get cuter every time I see them. Emma’s giggly little face with that amazing curly head just gets me every time!
Baby Emma | Lifestyle Newborn Photography
OH MY GOODNESS – will you please just appreciate the perfection of this girl’s cheeks?! I literally could not get over how beautiful Emma is, and she was such a happy baby during the entire photo session! Her parents got an absolute gem with this child. Dream baby!
The Richardsons | Hovander Park Family Mini
I love my family mini sessions at Hovander Park – there is so much to explore, and with kids this age a half an hour is often the most that they’re up for. I have been so lucky to photograph this super sweet family from the beginning – all the way back to Cody &…
Marcail + Brandon | Tennant Lake Maternity Mini
Two beautiful people are expecting a beautiful baby; we headed over to Tennant Lake on a perfectly romantic cloudy day to play around and capture the joy that’s on the way!
The Hopkins | Hovander Park Family Mini
My friend Kristen, who was also my son’s amazing kindergarten teacher, was expecting her second bundle of incredible energy a couple of months ago and I jumped at the chance to take them all out to Hovander Park after school for a short family/maternity mini photo sesson. I love this family!
The Cantins | Seattle At-Home Family Photography
I was so excited to be able to capture these intimate at-home moments with Tony & Sheri in their charming downtown Seattle home with baby Oliver. Their 2019 wedding was EPIC, at the most AMAZING venue in Minneapolis (check it out here), and there is almost nothing I love better about my job than being…
Baby Fox | Urban Maternity Photos
I am so happy that another adorable baby Fox on the way! First of all, just look at this little cherub – her brother is going to have some serious cuteness to measure up to. Secondly, Aaron and Brenna are two of the sweetest, most loving parents and I love watching them build such a…
The Francasters | Fall Family Photos
Sparkling eyes, infectious giggles – I pretty much immediately fell in love with this family. The kids jumped out of the car ready to play, and with all the fall colors and PNW sunset behind us, it was a beautiful playful photo session!
The Bushnells | Fall Family Photos
I have had the great privilege of personally knowing and being able to photograph this beautiful family from the time they first moved to Bellingham, and brought home two of their now-five kids waaaay back in 2008. Today, they have one kid in the Navy; one just about to start in-person classes at Gonzaga; one…
The Mitchells | Hovander Family Mini
Oh my goodness, this little girl’s faces!! She could make anyone fall in love with her. Sometimes with young kids, a 20-30 minute session is all that they’re going to stand for; fortunately, it’s all we need to frame up the story of what your lives are right in this moment!
