Want to trade stiff, uncomfy sessions for playful, silly snuggle-fests?
Good! Me too. There is nothing worse than a session where no one has any fun. I think of family photography sessions as a partnership. You bring your most loving selves + leave the grumpiness at the home and I promise I will make it a good memory in addition to a lovely gallery.
Hi, I’m Fiona.
My photography journey began in 2010 with the birth of my first daughter. As a stay at home mom trying to keep some semblance of my creative self, I picked up a camera and took about 10,000 photos that first year of her life (sorry, kid).
I started my business in 2011 and since then, over a thousand families have stood in front of my lens. Literally, and I mean LITERALLY, nothing can phase me at this point.
Little one feeling grumpy? That’s ok! We will play some games. Normally well-behaved dog suddenly acting like a maniac? Normal. Kiddo who only wants to be held? Not a care in the world.
Grumpy dad? That’s ok! We will all just put up with it. NOT. Grumpy ADULTS are not welcome in my brand. I keep it short and fun, so adults can show up and at least pretend to like it 🙂 It makes a MASSIVE difference in the experience.
Not sure what to wear? I got you! I am here to help you style!
In 2017, I started a new fun niche: adventure family sessions! I have since hiked 100 solo miles before sessions in the most beautiful places in the PNW. I would love to create with you in the magical wild.
Let’s have fun!
Let’s chat about the process!
Here is what to expect
Majority of my sessions are booked via online booking. You can choose your session type, date, pay your deposit and sign your contract via my online scheduler.
I will reach out after you are booked (if you have questions beforehand, feel free to email me) and we will finalize any needed details + I will help you style your family!
Fun family sessions in three steps
Make sure you want a
playful shoot!
I love helping you frolic, snuggle and adventure in beautiful light with your family. Read through my site to see if we are fit.
Lean into styling recommendations
After a thousand shoots, I have a learned a lot about what color and kind of clothing works best for shoots in the Pacific Northwest!
Let go of expectations for kiddo behavior
As much as we want everything to go off perfectly, it likely won’t and that is perfectly fine! Just show up and be present and let the kids lead the way.

For Photographers
In addition to photographing families all over the state, I help other family photographers market their businesses. I am a podcast host (The Family Photographer Marketing Podcast) and mentor family photographers on their marketing.
MY FAVORITE SESSION TYPES
The first question to ask is if you are up for an adventure. If you are, my *most* adventurous shoots take place about 1.5-3 hours from the Seattle Area. This includes:
Mount Baker
Olympic National Park
Mid-Way Sessions (Whidbey Island, Snoqualmie, Port Angeles, North Bend)
Seattle Area Evening Sessions
Kitsap County Sessions
Newborn Sessions
Studio Margo
Lovely Reviews!
Outdoor work in Spring begins around Late March! Starting then, I offer wildflowers sessions and my mid-way adventure session dates begin. The mountains open later than a lot people think. Sessions in the Olympic National Park start around Mid-July but Baker isn’t usually open until early August because Mount Baker gets SO much snow pack! Wildflowers in Seattle pop around July. Fall calendar opens up in July as well. 
The earliest session start times would be Late March at 6:30pm ish. Then Spring and Summer start between 7 and 8pm. Once we swing around to Fall, start times begin a bit earlier again. HOWEVER. My sessions are very fun and play based and over 1,000 sessions a fussy, up past bedtime kid is rarely an issue! 
I am totally open to your location! Just know that my whole brand is built around golden hour + pretty light so light does matter quite a bit IF you want images like the ones you see here. Just let me know what you have in mind!
