Seattle portrait session

Photoshoot at a location of your choosing — Kerry Park, Pike Place, the waterfront, Discovery Park, Volunteer Park, or a hidden gem I know from years of shooting this city. Gentle direction, natural moments, photos that feel like you on a good day. This package includes 20–30 retouched photos and a private gallery within 5 days.

Half-day photography workshop

Private photography instruction for enthusiasts who want to grow their work. We'll spend 3 hours at a Seattle location of your choice, working through composition, light, posing direction, and the small decisions that separate a snapshot from a real photograph. You shoot, I'll teach, and I'll make a few portraits for you to take home. This package includes hands-on instruction tailored to your level. Bring your camera (any system). Group workshops for more than 4 available by request.

Seattle photo tour

2-3 hours across 3-4 Seattle's most photogenic locations, paced for genuine moments instead of rushed checkboxes. We'll move through iconic spots and a few hidden corners I know well, with local stories along the way. You'll leave with beautiful photos and a better sense of the city. This package includes 30-40 hand-edited photos and a private gallery delivered within 7 days.

Nature photo session

A full day out in the Pacific Northwest landscape, with pickup from your Seattle accommodation included. Snoqualmie Falls, Rattlesnake Ledge, old-growth forest, mountain views. As the 2026 Artist-in-Residence at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, working in the natural world is part of my practice, not just a service I offer. This package includes 60–75 hand-edited photos and a private gallery delivered within 10 days. A Mt. Rainier variant is available by inquiry.
