Family Portraits at Sailor + Sage
Capturing the genuine connection of your favorite people.
Your family’s story is constantly evolving. From the chaotic, joyful energy of toddlers to the quiet, meaningful bonds of adulthood, these are the moments that deserve to be preserved. My goal is to move beyond the traditional “everyone look and smile” pose and capture the honest interactions that make your family unique.
As a specialist in Seattle family photography, I focus on the “unposed” beauty of your life. Whether we are chasing sunset light in a field or sharing a quiet moment in the studio, I am here to create family portraits that parents can look back on and see their real, beautiful life reflected.
The Perfect Backdrop: Studio or Outdoor
Every family has a different rhythm, and I offer settings that cater to your specific style:
Outdoor Family Photoshoot
There is something magical about the Pacific Northwest landscape. As a Tacoma family photographer, I have a curated list of scenic local locations, from golden fields to mountain views, that provide a natural and organic backdrop for your family photos.
The Studio
For a more minimalist and timeless feel, my studio in Bonney Lake offers a calm, light-filled space. This is a wonderful option for families who want the focus to be entirely on their connection, without any outside distractions.
Meeting Your Kids Where They Are
As a mother of three, I know that children don’t always follow a script. I don’t expect them to! My approach is patient and child-led. I want your kids to play, laugh, and simply be themselves.
My goal is to make the experience stress-free for you. I will guide you with gentle prompts to ensure the result is a gallery full of pure connection and personality.
Styling & Details
Styling plays a huge role in the "feel" of your images. Upon booking, you’ll receive my styling guide to help you coordinate a timeless, cohesive look. We will work together to ensure your family's photo shoot results in heirlooms that feel at home on your walls for decades.
