Session Info | Seattle Lifestyle Family & Newborn Photography

You shouldn’t need a translator to figure out how a photo session works. Let’s make this easy.

Whenever I’ve looked for a photographer myself, I’ve often been really overwhelmed by pricing pages. Session fees, à la carte pricing, surprise charges... it’s a lot. And honestly? It doesn’t need to be.

That’s why I keep things simple and transparent. No extra session fees, no complicated bundles, no pressure. Just clear information, beautiful photos, and the flexibility to choose your image collection after you see your gallery.

This page breaks down everything you need to know about what I offer, how it works, and what to expect—so you can feel confident (and excited!) about what you’re booking.

Session Options

Full Sessions

Great for: maternity, family, or in-home newborn sessions when you want time to slow down and really capture this season.

  • 45–60 minutes

  • Location of your choice (I’ll help if you need ideas)

  • Newborn sessions are always done in-home

  • Slideshow of at least 75 hand-edited images delivered 7 business days after your session

  • Choose your photo collection after viewing your gallery

🖤 The vibe: A relaxed pace, plenty of time to let the kids warm up, take breaks (snacks included), and let natural moments unfold.

Photo collections range from $999 to $1499. There’s no separate session fee—just one clear price based on the collection of your choice.

Neighborhood Sessions

Great for: families who want their photos to feel deeply personal—
right outside their front door.

  • 45–60 minutes

  • Shot entirely in your walkable neighborhood (your street, your sidewalk, your everyday view)

  • Slideshow of at least 75 hand-edited images delivered 7 business days after your session

  • Choose your photo collection after viewing your gallery

🖤 The vibe: relaxed, meaningful, and rooted in real life. We’ll walk your block, stop at the tree your kid insists on climbing, bring the dog, or even kick a soccer ball. For maternity sessions, maybe it’s standing under the blooming tree you’ll one day point out to your baby and say, “You were in my belly when we took this.”

This offering was inspired by a family who had just moved into their dream home on a block they adored—we simply walked their street, and it was perfect.

Photo collections range from $999 to $1499. There’s no separate session fee—just one clear price based on the number of images you love.

Headshots for Individuals and Teams

Whether you’re looking for a fresh LinkedIn photo, updating your website, or organizing new headshots for your whole team, I’ve got you covered.

My approach is relaxed and natural—no stiff poses or harsh lighting. Just real, confident images that feel like you (or your team!).

Headshot sessions can take place outdoors or at your home/office, depending on your brand and goals. I’ll guide you the whole way through and make sure everyone walks away with a photo they actually like (yes, it’s possible!).

🖤 The vibe: simple, relaxed, and just enough time to settle in and get photos that feel like you—without going all in on a full session.

FAQ

Still have questions? Totally normal. Here are a few I get all the time—no matter what kind of session you’re booking.

Q: What if my kids don’t cooperate?
A: Totally okay! For full and petite sessions, we’ve got a good chunk of time to go with the flow. I always leave space for wiggles, warm-ups, and even a snack break if needed.
For mini sessions, we’re on a tighter timeline—because of that, I recommend showing up early, fed, and ready to jump in. They’re short, but we can definitely still get some magic.

Q: Do we need to know how to pose?
A: Not at all! I’ll gently guide you when it’s helpful (like when you forget how to have normal, relaxed human hands), but most of the time I’m watching for natural moments and connection. You don’t need to do anything but be yourselves.

Q: What should we wear?
A: After you book, I’ll send over a style guide with outfit tips and examples. And if you’re still unsure, you can totally send me photos—I love helping folks feel confident and comfortable.

Q: What if it rains? (We live in Seattle, after all...)
A: I always keep an eye on the forecast and build in wiggle room (and rain dates!). If it’s looking rainy, I’ll check in the day before and we’ll decide whether to keep the plan or reschedule. Cloudy skies? Totally fine. Full downpour? We’ll come up with a backup.
