Seattle Family Photographer

Timeless, effortless photography for the adventurous

Hi, I’m Brigit

I’m an ambivert through and through: an adventure-seeking homebody, I’m as at home down a dirt road as I am in a bustling city. I can ramble in eight languages but am just as happy quietly people-watching. I’ve spent my life documenting my own life digitally and on film — now let me document yours!

Why Work With Me

Local Knowledge

Decades of Knowledge

If you want someone who knows Seattle like the back of her hand, I’m your gal! I moved to Seattle in 2011 and have explored all over this great state of ours. I know all the good spots for family photos to fit any vibe in every season.

Creativity

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MORE THAN PHOTOS, IT’S ART!

I’ve spent years perfecting my editing style with bright, warm colours that are true-to-life while mimicking the look of film; I’ve even brought 35mm film photography back into my repertoire!

Experience

Always learning, always growing

I’m a world-class people-wrangler and know how to keep everyone on task. I can roll with the punches in every situation, put everyone at ease, and never make getting your photos taken feel like a high-stakes job interview! I’ve seen it all and keep cooler than cool under pressure. Photography is about far more than just taking pretty pictures — it’s knowing how to capture the love people have for each other and what makes them unique!

Patience

a lifetime of experience with kids

My phototography philosophy relies heavily on the idea of positive discipline and respect for everyone of every age. Is your kid not into being tossed in the air? That’s fine, we’ll choose another game! Are they having trouble concentrating? We’ll take a break and have a little chat and get back to it. I’m from a huge Irish family and have worked with kids my whole life, including as a Japanese immersion preschool teacher. You never have to worry about your kids “behaving” around me!

Inclusion

All families deserve great photos

Inclusion is a huge passion of mine. I want to ensure every family of every constellation and ability has amazing family photos. Need a wheelchair accessible location? Can’t hike very far? I make sure every location works for your family. Are you or one of your family members autistic or do they have ADHD? Me too. I’ve struggled for years to find neurodiverse-affirming photographers for my own family. Please reach out and let me know how to make everyone comfortable. Whether your disability is visible or invisible, we’ll make sure you get those wall-worthy family photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remember sitting down with your friends and their parents would embarass them by flipping through the family photo albums? Remember the look of film in those photos? There’s a timelessness to film that is unlike any other, and my style effortlessly replicates that feeling so you and your family will always have that nostalgic feel to your memories.

Let me reframe that: do you like when someone is giving you lots of directions? I know I don’t! My family sessions are play-based, meaning we play lots of games to get those big smiles and belly laughs. There’s no complicated posing directions here — everything is simple and emphasizes your love and connection.

Is water wet? Absolutely! I travel all over Montana and the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. I return to the PNW at least twice per year to see my families and would love to meet you! Want to bring me someone further out? Send me an email!

For full family sessions, expect about a four week turnaround time. Mini session clients can expect their images in about three weeks.

I have more answers! Send me a message and we’ll chat.
