Lilac and Ivy Photography I'm Mercae, a family, maternity and newborn photographer based in Seattle, WA.

Hi, I’m Mercae (pronounced Mer-say), a neurodivergent Seattle mother to one wild preschooler boy and a portrait photographer. I am deeply passionate about providing parents with tangible reminders of their families connection and love story because of my own experience as a mother. Looking up at the wall, seeing myself at the heart of my beautiful family brings me so much light and joy and made even the toughest days of postpartum depression bearable. I know it can help other parents both in the moment of the session, taking time to be together, and after, when it comes time to mount their photos on the wall or thumb through their album again.

One place you’ll never catch me? Outside past October. 💅🏻 As you know, I’m primarily a studio photographer - only venturing out in the summer for sailboat adventures and backyard cuddles. After October the weather becomes cold, wet, and there are no leaves to be seen. Outdoor events become rain checks and miserable. Studio shoots can incorporate any season without having to be canceled for rain, getting your shoes covered in freezing cold mud, or worrying about the sun. I’ll see you this winter from the comfort of the studio 🤍.

These photos of my son, from the hospital and home are from 6 years ago, and they are so precious. These mementos are worth more than gold. Do you still have photos from when your baby was a fresh newborn?

Photographing your pregnancies and babies is what fills my cup. It’s a beautiful perfect moment in time, let’s hold onto it and create something that will grace your walls or bookshelves for generations.

Hi, I’m Mercae. I’m your Seattle maternity and newborn photographer. I also serve Bellevue Mercer Island Kirkland Redmond and Shoreline. I’m inspired by grandmillennial styling and East Coast tradition, so you can expect lots of bubble rompers for babies, traditional christening gowns, and a client closet full of elegant, classic designs for mom to pick from.

I am officially rolling out a policy to only book sessions a minimum of a month in advance. Because I have to coordinate with studios, Makeup artist, as well as you the client we need to get on the books far in advance. And while that may make me a less popular option, you will have a better higher end product when we coordinate properly to create a beautiful vision. You deserve the best and that means planning in advance.
