Hey mama!
I'M MERCAE
You pour your heart into your little ones every day, but when you look back at family photos, are you in them? Too often, moms like you are the ones capturing the moments instead of being in them—radiant, present, and connected.
That’s where I come in. I’m Mercae (pronounced Mursay), your Seattle family photographer and a fellow mom. I create timeless, heartfelt portraits that celebrate your family’s love—and make sure you are part of the story.
Whether your little one is shy, silly, or full of energy, I know how to meet them where they are. With a playful, relaxed approach and thoughtful guidance, I help bring out their true personality while making the experience easy and joyful for you.
This is your family’s story. Let’s capture it together.

"The Best Experience I've Had To Date."
Before session I got multiple emails on various days with both a reminder of the photoshoot and tips for how to dress, do hair, and makeup in a style that is complimentary to her studio space. Days leading up to the shoot, and the day of, she was quick to respond to any questions I had. Day of the shoot she offered to help me from my car to her studio, which with a toddler in tow and being 22 weeks pregnant was very helpful! Click here to read the rest...

"help[ed] our little out of her shell"
We have a very particular toddler who shies away from new faces so we were worried what kind of photos we would get but omg they came out stunning! Mercae did such a wonderful job staying calm and helping our little out of her shell to get some wonderful memories in photos.

We had a great experience with Mercae for my maternity session! Mercae is very easy to talk to and very responsive from the start of inquiry for a session to delivering the finished photos. Whole experience went smoothly and we are happy we had Mercae as our photographer! The photos are lovely! We will definitely reach out again for future photo shoot opportunity.
