Lilac & IVY
Photography
p r i c e
I'm a Seattle Family lifestyle photographer and mother who serves expecting parents and families with babies and toddlers. I used to be a dance teacher for kids two to eight and am a mom to a wild boy with what feels like an unending collection of hot wheels - I know how to work with busy and wild little ones.
I serve mothers and expecting parents because I know how important it is to capture classic and elegant images while preserving the whimsy and playfulness that defines early childhood. You will get timeless portraits that preserve the real (no crazy photoshop) while getting curated experiences that will build bonds and create memories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do we wear to our session?
How quickly will I get my images back?
What if it rains?
Thank you so much for asking! Briefly, neutral colors and less saturated colors photograph best. For more guidance, I have a whole wardrobe guide that streamlines the process of wardrobe selection.

You will receive your finished gallery within 2 weeks of your session. This will come to you via email with a link to your virtual gallery to purchase a collection that fits your needs. If you have any concerns in regards to your gallery, please let me know before you download any images and I'm happy to help you!
If you're not from the Pacific Northwest, hey howdy hey new neighbor! It rains here. Pretty much all the time. While it's probably not a torrential downpour, it might alter your expectation for the day. However, I very rarely am rained out of sessions because the rain here is so light. I only offer reschedules based on extreme weather. To avoid weather reschedules, please book a studio session.
I believe you should fall in love with your images before deciding what to purchase. About 2 weeks after your session you'll get your images delivered in a gallery, where you can select which collection you'll purchase. Whether you choose a little or a lot, it’s entirely up to you to select in the privacy of your own home. Don’t be surprised if happy tears flow when you see your images for the first time!

"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.
