Bellingham, Washington Family Photography and Newborn Photography

Where your story softens into something unforgettable

I chase the fragile, unpolished moments, the way your fingers cling for a second too long, the private laughter that slips out when you think no one’s looking, the warmth that lives between you.

An invitation to anchor your memories in something real

my mission

Your story doesn’t need to be perfectly posed, it just needs to be felt. The quiet weight of your newborn in your arms. The way tiny fingers curl around yours. The laughter that spills out when your toddler forgets the camera is even there.
Whether we’re wrapped in soft natural light at home, outdoors in golden air, or in a calm, thoughtfully styled studio, I blend gentle guidance with space for real connection to unfold. Some moments are tender and still; others are playful and beautifully chaotic.
I’m here to preserve the raw emotion in your story.

The sacred balance between stillness & wild emotion

my philosophy

Inside, you’ll uncover a what to wear guide for comfortability in front of the lens. A little gift, so your photos begin with clarity, confidence, and a centered heart.

Meet your photographer

I believe every season of love has its own rhythm, wild, tender, becoming. My work lives in the in-between: the real connection, the quiet magic, the moments that feel like you.
With warm earth tones, moody light, and intentional storytelling, I capture your life the way it feels, not just how it looks. If you’re drawn to imagery with depth and soul, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m kay,

Kay did our maternity shoot with us and went above and beyond, going to the top of Mt. Baker and wondering around to find great spots! We’re so lucky to have forever moments from her..
