The Milestone Collection includes 3 sessions over the course of a year, thoughtfully designed to document your family’s evolving story and transform those chapters into cohesive heirloom artwork that celebrates your story.

As a Seattle portrait photographer, I’ve created the Milestone Collection for clients who wish to continue telling their family’s story with me throughout the year. This collection includes four relaxed 30-minute sessions designed to capture each new season of your family’s life with warmth and authenticity; whether playing in the park, beneath the cherry blossoms, or cozy at home. Over time, these portraits become more than photographs; they grow into heirlooms that reflect your family’s love and connection, treasured in albums or framed on your walls as reminders of the beauty found in every passing year.

Printed artwork is the finished product.
Your kids don't stop getting older. Life doesn't slow down. You'll never regret getting family photos. But if they don't make it to the wall or album or print, they'll simply disappear in the shuffle of your phone's camera roll.
If you do make time to get prints, do you know how to get fine art prints? Can you trust the local teenager running the print kiosk at some big box store to give you beautiful prints? Will you feel confident displaying poorly printed artwork in your home or office?
And how else will you share these with friends and family if your kids are kept offline? Grandma loves prints to put on her living room wall even more than posting on facebook.
Parents, children and grandparents are welcome to your session. To add additional (human) family members beyond 6 people there is an fee of $50 per person. This accomodates the additional work and time it can take to get a larger group comfortable and posed.
Due to my very selective process, my schedule books up quickly. I suggest reserving your session date as soon as possible. If you are looking for peak fall season photos, you'll want to book at least a month in advance. When booking subsequent sessions for your Milestones Collection please book as far in adavnce as possible, to ensure you get first dibs on your preferred dates.
YES! The Milestone Collection was created for families who want to preserve the magic of their baby's first year without the stress of planning each session individually. A 25% reservation retainer secures your place, and the remaining balance can be comfortably spread across the year with your choice of monthly or quarterly payments.
No need to worry about what to wear — I provide a complete wardrobe guide, access to my client closet (including a few sweet baby outfits), and plenty of links for outfit inspiration. If you’re unsure about a piece, simply email me a photo and I’ll happily let you know if it’s a good fit for your session.
For every session I hold, I send an email with a list of amazing makeup artist professionals who can create natural and neutral looks that won't overpower your gorgeous face. I highly recommend hiring a makeup artist, but if that's not your preference, I've also included DIY tips to make your portraits shine.
For family portraits, I'm based out of Seattle and highly encourage locations there, however I'm happy to travel up to 30 minutes drive time outside of the city. I'm also happy to go anywhere that a ferry can take me from the city of Seattle, within reason. Bainbridge, Bremerton, and Port Orchard are A-OK!
