Tell me more about what makes your sessions "editorial"

The approach with which I plan & design each session coupled with the shooting style & high-end retouching creates an editorial experience from start to finish. I use a wide angle lens to create that fashion-inspired look. ;)

What makes your Print Products "editorial"

Our keepsake products are editorial in style because of upscale and modern materials, custom made to order graphic design & typography that combined helps build a story through your images. Think Miranda Priestly's office from The Devil Wears Prada — Elevated and chic with a classic spin.

How long does it take to receive the final edited images?

You will receive a private online gallery within 2 weeks of your session or proofing date. All sessions will come with my favorite image chosen and retouched, ready for you to review!

How many photos will I get back?

Traditional Package will come with 75 final images.

Editorial Package will come with 100 final images.

Ultimate Package will come with 150 final images.


All images will be fully color-corrected and print ready.

How do I prepare for an editorial session with you?

Pre-planning calls along with meticulous wardrobe, lighting, background and set design storyboards are created so you feel confident about every step of your session. We create and keep extensive notes with full session details so you can always have all the information at your fingertips.

Please Read our Blog on preparing for an Editorial session!

What if my kids don't want to pose?

Great, then they should be themselves! Editorial approach is simple — The less they are told to say "cheese" the more authentic and natural they feel about themselves giving me room to capture their personality fully. All sessions are gently guided but never posed.

When is the best time to have a maternity session?

The ideal time for a maternity session is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable enough to pose, with session happening in the second trimester. Give yourself at least 1 month for planning and prep before the big day. (We will ask for your due date!)

Can I print my digitals?

Yes! All Sessions come with a print release to print up to size 11x14 in unlimited quantity. You are welcome to print out your images for personal, home use only by downloading them from your personalized gallery!

Where is your studio located?

All sessions are photographed at our studio in Lower Queen Anne, 114 W Denny Way, Seattle WA.


Please use Google Maps when navigating - Apple Maps has issues locating the space.

Do you take outdoor photos?

Yes! Depending on your session we can stay completely indoors or head outside. All outdoor locations are located within walking distance of our Lower Queen Anne studio with options for nature, urban and downtown and near the water!
