Family Portraits

Sienna, Declan, and Landon's Fall Family Portraits at UW

Marisa + John and their kiddos had perfect weather for their family portraits

Despite the fact that the mosquitoes were still out and about (in mid-October, what the heck?!), everyone got to enjoy how lovely the sunshine and cool air felt while we walked around taking photos at the Arboretum, and we even got to see a deer passing by before it went on its way! Enjoy the photos of this sweet family having some Fall fun!

Rhys' Newborn Portraits

rHYS’ WHOLE FAMILY GOT IN ON THESE ADORABLE NEWBORN PORTRAITS

One of my favorite things ever is getting to watch the families of my wedding clients grow and getting to document their little ones along the way, so with Lily + Aaron (check out their wedding photos here) welcoming their third kiddo into the world, it was great to be able celebrate Rhys’ birth and get lots of photos of the other two kiddos, Rylan & Remy, along the way!
Help me wish this whole family a BIG congrats on the latest addition, and welcome to the world, Rhys!

Rhys' Westmorland Park Family Portraits

Rhys is 4 months old, and got a lovely visit from his grandparents!

It feels like yesterday that we were doing maternity portraits for Olivia (which you can check out here), and before we know what happened, Rhys was born and is already 4 months old! Rhys’ grandparents got to come for a visit recently, so Olivia + Jim (Rhys’ parents) wanted to make sure they could get extended family portraits taken to celebrate! Enjoy these sweet family photos (including Bumpy the terrier)!

Maternity & Family Portraits at the UW Arboretum

This sweet and growing family braved all of the mosquitoes in the world for their maternity & family portraits!

Seriously, so many mosquitoes, but also, how cute are these photos?! I’ve been honored to photograph this little family at nearly every important milestone, from Lily + Aaron’s engagement portraits and wedding, to their maternity & newborn photos for their two oldest, Rylan and Remy, and now the maternity photos for their little-one-on-the-way!

I can’t wait to meet the newest addition in a few months! Help me wish this wonderful family a big congrats!

Cat-Themed Family Portraits at the Studio

Aisa got to pick the theme of the family photos this year, and nothing would do but a cat theme!

And I love that her parents, Lindsey + Ben, leaned in! I really want to see more family photos where families are just cool being their weird, fun, and maybe cat-loving, selves! Enjoy these sweet & fun family photos taken at the studio!

Fall Family Portraits on Monroe Street

Aoife (pronounced ee-fa) and her family had a lovely family portrait session on monroe street

The weather may have been blustery, but Aoife and her parents James & Sydney still had a great punking around Monroe Street, ending with some delicious ice cream at The Chocolate Shoppe! (Don’t tell Aoife, but I ended up getting Peppermint Twist instead of Chocolate once our session was over). Enjoy these sweet family photos!

Fall Family Portraits with Fiona + Winnie

Fiona + Winnie’s family had a beautiful fall portrait session at Governor NElson State Park

The weather could not have been any more lovely for these two little ones and their family during their portrait session, and Winnie + Fiona enjoyed the heck out of what Governor Nelson State Park had to offer in terms of leaves, sand, and playground equipment while we were there! Enjoy the fun photos of this adorable family!

Fall Family Portraits at Governor Nelson State Park

Governor Nelson State Park was extra gorgeous for these fun family portraits

The Fall colors have been elusive this season because of how warm it’s been, but we managed to find some for family photos of Erin + Dan and their three kids (young adults now, holy crap)! It was a gorgeous and fun day and despite the shenanigans, not a single teen died of embarrassment, so I’ll call it a win! It’s always so fun to photograph this wonderful family! Enjoy the photos!

Fall Family Portraits at Pope Farm Conservancy

Pope Farm Conservancy is the perfect spot for fall family photos!

The golden hour sun, the leaves, the EAGLES, and this adorable family made for the perfect fall family portrait session! The kids had more than enough energy for walking around the park (and thankfully there was lots of room to run too), and it is always a pleasure to photograph this wonderful family!

Fall Family Portraits at the UW Arboretum

It is always a joy to get to see clients whose weddings we’ve photographed again, especially when I get to meet the next generation!

Will is such a sweet kiddo, and it was a blessing to get to meet him and catch up with Catherine + John, whose wedding we photographed almost a decade ago! This little pumpkin wasn’t so sure about the camera at first, but look at the smile on him (and the extra skeptical side-eye too lol)! Congrats to this adorable little family!

Fall Family Portraits at the Epic Campus

Epic was the perfect setting for these family portraits!

Sean, Jenny, and Ava (along with their two pups Maggie and Bernie) were troopers with the drizzle and wind that happened during their family portraits, but holy smokes did these turn out pretty! Epic was a beautiful backdrop for these family portraits, and I am always pumped to get to pet more dogs, so this was literally a perfect session even with the weather being temperamental! Enjoy the photos of this sweet family!
