I’m Mercae (pronounced Mursay), a Seattle family photographer and neurodivergent mom to one amazing neurodivergent little boy. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm probably sipping my home brewed French press coffee or reading a romance novel.
As a former dance teacher and mom to a spirited little boy, I understand busy, energetic kids. I love the chaos that comes with family and I can't wait to meet you!
Let’s create classic, heartfelt portraits you’ll treasure forever.

Who I am
As seen in
from the heart of past clients
Mercae did such a wonderful job helping our little out of her shell to get some wonderful memories in photos.
Serving clients in the greater seattle area
I offer a thoughtful experience that begins with wardrobe guidance and location planning, and ends with high-end, tangible artwork, like framed prints, heirloom albums, and canvas wall art.
My work is rooted in connection, storytelling, and slowing down to savor the season a family is in. By focusing on emotional authenticity and timeless aesthetics, I help mothers feel confident, beautiful, and deeply seen in the images that will one day become their family's most treasured keepsakes.

Authenticity is more meaningful than flawlessness.
Presence over perfection
I'm an adventurous spirit, whether it's close to home or a million miles away.
adventure is out there!
Mornings are the best part of the day - my son is in a good mood and anything could happen!
mornings are the best time of day
Time with those we love should always be the priority. Holidays together are sacred!
Family comes first
Moms deserve to feel beautiful in front of the camera surrounded by their families.
Moms deserve to shine first and foremost
