Capturing the moments in-between.
“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Capturing the moments in-between.
How many times have you said, “time goes too fast?” Or told your children to stop growing? Or “Kids grow too fast?” Or something along those lines? It’s so true. Sure, there are seasons that seem to linger but as time goes by, you look back and you can’t believe how fast it actually goes. Times that you feel like take forever to get here like the day of your wedding, or welcoming a baby into your family. Then one day it’s here! Your baby is now a senior in high school. Time is a funny thing. This is why it’s so important to capture moments in-between because otherwise you will wish you did take the time to do that. These moments, it’s more than an image, it’s a feeling. If you feel emotion from an image then it’s been captured right. This is what lifestyle is, a TIMELESS piece that means everything to you.
Family & Lifestyle.
Family lifestyle sessions are not just a time to get together, sit and smile and me push a button. It’s a fun time. A time of bonding, laughing, and putting the everyday hustle of life aside to capture what is truly important. I guide and direct you so you don’t have to think about what to do next and it really is fun. My work is not about the smiles. It’s about what you feel in each image.
$500.00 - Includes family, parents only, individual of each child, children together, and each child separate with each parent.
Maternity & Newborn.
These sessions are truly an honor to be at. Being in the presence of a family who just had a baby and allowing me to be in their space is a time I will always cherish. I never rush through these sessions and believe it should be on baby’s timing. It’s a time to relax and capture all the little things.
$500.00 - Includes images of you together and images of the mother only. See the gallery for examples of newborn lifestyle images.
~When you book both Maternity and Newborn you get a $200 discount on the Newborn session.
Seniors.
How did you get here? Is that what you’re asking yourself? I know I did when my firstborn became a senior. I have to say these sessions surprised me in how much I love them. I get to see a glimpse of what these kiddos will be like as adults. Sometimes I get to see the bond they have with their parents and how emotional the parents can get during these sessions. Because it’s a celebration of all the hard work they put in to school and now moving on to the next chapter of their lives.
$375.00 - Includes up to three separate clothing changes if wanted.
Hello, I’m Melinda.
I am a mother and a photographer. I love Seattle! The diversity, the rain and gray skies, the sun and fresh crisp air, the food, and the endless areas of the Pacific Northwest to explore. We are so very blessed. Aren’t we?
I am a family lifestyle, newborn, and senior photographer in the Seattle area. I really enjoy following the sun, watching families interact, and capturing the precious moments after a baby has been born. It’s so true they just grow way too fast.
My hope is that during your session it is laid back and fun with no stress. A time to just enjoy being together, put the world aside, bond, and capture some sweet and lively moments of you and your family is what I strive to accomplish.
“Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life.”
