You're gonna want to look back and remember this!

There are a handful of occasions in life that deserve to be documented, and this my friends is one of them.

There's still time to get on my 2026 calendar and score an especially sweet package.

Get in touch before February 28th to find out more!

Is your pack expanding?

Your little one doesn't need to be in the picture yet to take advantage of a great deal on Petite sessions!

Roll into my DM'S to find out more about 2026 availability.

Let's GO!

If you think family photos are stressful, you're doing it wrong.

It is a bit like a choreographed play date. You don't need to know the steps, I'll show you as we go.

You just have to be bought into the idea that you're there to have a good time. 😁

I can guarantee that if YOU are smiling and laughing, your kids will too.

Today is the last day to get on my calendar for an extra bonus chance to have a full gallery upgrade.

Summer and fall dates are quickly filling up, but there's really no time of year around here that isn't a great time to get outdoors.

We interrupt this doom scroll to remind you to focus on who you LOVE.

You only have 3 days left to grab a Petite session that comes with sprinkles PLUS a chance at a complementary full gallery upgrade.

Tag a friend in the comments who you think shouldn't miss out for a bonus entry!

Can't wait to see you smile!

Don't let it get away!

If only I could tell you how many stories of regret I have heard from parents who just got too busy to stop for a moment and catch those memories.

I guess I just did. 🤷‍♀️

You still have all of February to pick a Petite package at a steal.

BUT you only have THIS WEEK to get in on an automatic chance at upgrading to your full gallery.

🎤 is this thing on?

✨️ does NOT need to be scheduled in February.

I cannot state that clearly and loudly enough.

Could it get any sweeter?!

It JUST did!!!

📣📣📣

Because EVERYONE who books their Petite session by Family day is automatically entered a chance to win a full gallery upgrade!

This isn't some mini session with 15 images to choose from.

We pack some serious punch in these little sessions and most galleries still end up with over 50 images that will bring a smile to your face.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the photos are just a bonus that you get from the laughter and lasting memories you'll be making. 😍

But what if it rains?

Well, we have a bunch of options!

First off, we usually keep 2 tentative dates on my calendar. I have been surprisingly lucky for the most part.
But this is a rainforest.
And such as it is, I find it most practical to have more than one option available.

Having flexibility that day is also a HUGE bonus. It rarely rains the WHOLE day. So seeing a 80%POP doesn't mean much if you don't check the hourly forecast. It might just be raining all night till noon and turn into a spectacular afternoon.

We live in a valley. Our local forecast includes those mountains that surround us.🏔

Anything at or under 70% often means those clouds will be clinging to those mountain tops, but we may still end up relatively dry everywhere in between.

Every so often a family doesn't have the option to reschedule, or they are just particularly adventurous and we press on!

With the moody PNW skies, and slightly imperfect hair. Some of these have ended up being my favorite sessions. 🤩

In all my years of being a family portrait photographer I have acquired a very particular set of skills. 🤓

I can tell if you have had an argument with your partner by the way you parked your car and will have you two laughing and snuggling like young loves again in the next 5 minutes. (This happens more often than not)

I can guess adult sibling birth order with 99% accuracy. It has nothing to do with how old everyone looks. It is all about the dynamic of how I observe you interacting.

On more than one occasion a child has asked a parent if they could invite me over after the session to play. I'm not even entirely sure they thought I was a grown up.

I am pretty socially awkward, you won't find me in a crowd. But find it fun to give people direction and distractions that make them look as natural and confident in front of the camera as I hope they perceive me to be behind it.

Not ready to tell you just yet, but if you have been hesitant on locking in that Petite session this year, this might be the kick in the pants you needed.

February is the BEST time of the year to make sure you don't blink and miss another year.

Better grab on! There's no time to hesitate.

You guys know a great deal when you see it! Weekend spaces are always the first to go and they're already slim pickings for August and September.

Sessions are usually scheduled about an hour or so before sunset. So that typically leaves lots of wiggle room on weekdays for most people's work schedule during the summer.

But if the thought of keeping your child outside after 6pm gives you anxiety, you'll want to jump on those weekend spots in mid spring and mid fall quick!

Reminiscing this week about so many wonderful family sessions and this one popped immediately to mind.

So if course I was incredibly saddened this morning to hear of Garth's passing.

He was the absolute highlight of this session and he made me work harder for that smile than any toddler I have ever met. 😅

Not the least bit fooled by his gruff exterior. It was pretty obvious that there was a big soft heart under there with endless love for his beautiful family. There was no way he was holding back smiles when it came to his baby granddaughter. Melt my heart 😭

I'm sure he was the highlight of many people's days in his years here.

Sending lots of love to his family today and gratitude for giving me the opportunity to meet him ❤️🙏

And a little reminder to you to be the highlight of someone's day.

Don't miss your chance this year to get the whole darn family in the picture!

A Petite session is plenty of time to get that huge family photo and some smaller groupings and even a few candids in between.

It never gets old!

Living in such a beautiful place AND getting to see the same familiar faces year after year.

There are a few families who have been with me since my 2010 beginnings.

Don't get me wrong, obviously NEW clients are amazing.

Knowing someone likes your work enough to come back again feels good.

Appreciating that someone trusts that you have only gotten EVEN better since the last time they saw you? the BEST.

Here's the secret.... YOU got better at it too!

You relaxed. Enjoyed the moment. Almost forgot I was even there.

It keeps getting better.

If this is your first time, or your 16th year in a row with me, I can't wait to make it your best yet!

February is the time to get a 'petite' sample of how much fun this can be.
