Lifestyle photographer specializing in families, couples, & meaningful seasons of life.
Hi, I'm Mariah
I’ve always had an appreciation for photographs and the way they can instantly transport us back to a moment in time. They can remind you of a familiar laugh, a tiny hand wrapped around yours, or offer a glimpse into the life of someone you love before you ever knew them.
Some of my most treasured photographs are the ones that allow me to step into moments I never got to experience... to see the people I love as they were before I knew them, to recognize familiar expressions, places, and pieces of their story, and to feel connected to a time that has long since passed. There’s something incredibly special about looking through old family photographs and discovering little pieces of the people and moments that came before us. With time, those images become priceless.
As a mother myself, I’ve come to realize just how quickly the days pass. What feels like it will last forever is often gone before we know it. That’s why I believe photography is about so much more than creating beautiful images. It’s about preserving the people, relationships, and moments that make up our stories so they can be cherished for generations to come.
Years from now, I hope your images feel like that... like finding a treasured photograph tucked away in a box, turning the pages of a well-loved family album, or reading a handwritten letter from a season of life that passed far too quickly.
It would be an honor to help preserve yours.

FAQ
We've never had professional photos taken before. What can we expect?
First sessions can feel a little overwhelming, but my goal is to make the experience relaxed and natural. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about everyone looking at the camera, I’ll guide you through gentle prompts and capture the little moments that make your family unique. The best photos usually come from simply being together, so come ready to laugh, play, and enjoy this time with your loved ones.
What should we wear for our session?
Choose outfits that feel comfortable and reflect your family’s personality. I recommend soft, neutral tones and coordinating colors rather than everyone matching exactly. Textures like knits, linen, denim, and layers photograph beautifully and add depth to your images. Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel like yourself—confidence always shows through.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Your edited gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks after your session. Each image is carefully selected and hand-edited to create a consistent, timeless gallery that tells the story of your family.
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate for our outdoor session?
Washington weather can be unpredictable, but some of the most beautiful images happen under soft, cloudy skies. If there is heavy rain, unsafe conditions, or weather that would prevent us from having a comfortable experience, we’ll work together to reschedule for another date. Your session should feel enjoyable, not stressful.
What if my child won't sit still?
The best moments often happen in between the perfectly posed ones. Kids are welcome to be themselves—whether that means running, laughing, needing a break, or wanting extra snuggles. I’ll gently guide your family while allowing space for genuine moments to unfold. My goal isn’t perfection; it’s capturing your family as you are right now.
How do I book a date?
To book a date, I require a $50 non-refundable retainer fee along with a signed contract to officially secure your session on my calendar.
Payment and Timing Due Date: The retainer and contract must be completed within 48 hours of receiving your booking invoice to hold the date.
Remaining Balance: The final balance for your session is due exactly 7 days prior to your scheduled photo shoot.
Policy Details Non-Refundable: The $50 booking retainer is strictly non-refundable, as it secures a specific date that we can no longer offer to other clients.Rescheduling: If you need to change your date due to an emergency or bad weather, your retainer can be transferred to a single new date within 90 days.
