storytelling Portraits
outdoor or in-home lifestyle sessions on the eastside
Storytelling sessions focus on real life, interaction, and connection in natural settings.
They are often described as lifestyle photography — relaxed, unposed, and rooted in everyday life.
At home or outdoors in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and throughout the Eastside, these sessions capture families, newborns, seniors, and personal portraits in a relaxed, unposed way.
This format is designed for families, motherhood, and children who want portraits that feel relaxed and true to their everyday rhythm.
There is guidance when needed, but the session is not built around strict posing or fixed compositions.
What defines Storytelling session
- Natural light and familiar settings
- Movement and interaction instead of formal posing
- Real expressions, not directed smiles
- A mix of close connection and environmental portraits
The experience
Storytelling sessions move at a calm pace. We choose a location — your home or an outdoor setting on the Eastside — and work with the light and space available.
Children are free to move. Families interact naturally. I step in when needed, but I also step back and let moments happen.
The result is a series of portraits that feel connected and lived-in.
Collections
Storytelling sessions are available as:
Print-Based Collection — $1,200
Digital-Only Collection — $700

Location
Storytelling sessions can take place at home or at a favorite outdoor location on the Eastside.
Some of my favorite spots include Bothell Landing Park in Bothell, Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland, Evans Creek Preserve in Redmond, and the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
I’m always happy to explore new locations that feel meaningful to you, as long as they are within the Eastside area.
