Seattle Lifestyle Family

& Maternity Photographer

Family photography with a candid, natural and lifestyle feel that captures the essence of the people you love.

Family photo sessions should be FUN, and should capture what your family is really like.

There’s no pressure to perform here. No awkward smiling contest. No expectation that your kids will sit still and behave like tiny adults. My job is to guide you with clear ideas and hype-woman energy, and really, to keep it fun.

I photograph the real magic as it happens: those full-body laughs, messy cuddles, windblown hair, hand squeezes, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it expressions that make your family yours.

Whether we’re wandering through a dreamy Seattle park, chasing golden light on the beach, or leaning into the beauty of a Pacific Northwest backdrop or your home, your family photo session is designed to feel fun, natural, and deeply you. You just show up as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.

“I’m convinced Danielle is the best family photographer out there. She captured the spirit, laughter, and love of my fabulous group of relatives in our family photo session in the woods, and I was SO impressed by her communication and capability in directing a large group. We all treasure the pictures from our session and I would recommend her to everyone.”
