Timeless Studio Family Photography in Seattle
Hi, I’m Lana. With over 16 years of experience as a professional family photographer and a mom of three boys, I know how important it is to document your family’s journey so you can remember every season. That’s why I created a smooth process from start to finish, so taking photos of your family can be an enjoyable experience.
My photography style is classic, elegant, and natural. My sessions are guided, and I use minimal props to ensure your family remains the main focus. The result is a collection of timeless photos that beautifully capture your unique bond.
Family Studio Mini-Session
Designed to be short and affordable, the Minis are popular with families who like to book often to document the fleeting moments (especially with younger children). The Mini’s are also great if you want to try out my family photography for the first time.
The studio Minis are available at any time of the year, but are especially preferred during rainy Seattle winters and early spring.

FAQs
Here is an overview of the entire process and what you can expect when you book a family session with me:
- Pre-Booking: You begin by learning about my services and picking a milestone session of your choice. I am a big believer in transparency and helpfulness. That’s why I explain my services in great detail on my website. I display my prices, add-ons, deliverables, and timeframes online so you know them beforehand, and there are no surprises. I have also published many photos above so you can get a good feel for my style and know exactly what your photos will look like. And if you still have any questions before booking, I’m only a quick message away.
- Booking: I’ve designed my scheduling process to be fast and hassle-free, ensuring your ease. You start by heading to the booking page and selecting your desired session. Next, you will pick a date and time from my calendar, fill out a short form, and pay your $100 deposit.
- Session Prep: After I receive your booking, I will review it and email you a detailed prep guide within 1-2 business days. This guide will contain all the information you need to prepare for the session. I am also available to answer any questions via email or text. You will also receive an invoice for the remaining balance a day before your session.
- The Session: We meet at my Kirkland studio and have a fun session. While I follow a specific session plan, I will adjust based on your baby’s mood. I will guide and queue you so you always know what to do.

After you see your proof gallery, you may decide on any upgrades. Please reply with your picks within seven days of receiving your gallery.

If your kiddo is not cooperating – don’t worry (because they will feel that). I will follow their lead and do my best to capture happy moments.
There will never be any pressure to look into the camera to smile. I have plenty of tricks to help get your kiddos engaged and interested, so 99% of the time, I can get you plenty of shots. (And for that 1% – we will work together to do our best.)
