I have known Sydney for many years and finally got to get my family photos done by her this last fall and they turned out absolutely amazing... She has a way to connect to each of my children and make them comfortable all while capturing some of the most heart melting photos of them. I absolutely recommend Sydney to other friends looking for a photographer. Keep up the amazing work Sydney!

I'm in love with Sydney's photography style. I love how she captures beauty in simple moments, how each and every photo is a vibrant embodiment of love, the light, the colors, the perspective and of course the gorgeous PNW landscapes. I feel like seeing her photos is like seeing a piece of each person's soul come alive! I am so grateful that she has helped our family cherish special moments together and look forward to watching our family grow in front of her lense. She is excellent with kids (they adore her) and makes everyone feel so comfortable. All of our smiles are real, not posed because we are truly enjoying ourselves rather than forcing poses. Sydney is a phenomenal person with a natural talent that can only come from raw passion and love for life.

Sydney is not only phenomenally talented, but she is also one of the most engaging, funny, and creative photographers I have ever worked with. She has an eye for the art behind an image but also the heart for the connection needed to make subjects feel comfortable in front of the camera. She finds the "real person" behind the smile and captures the essence of the moment and environment beautifully. Highly, highly recommended...she is my go-to for events, professional, and personal photos!

Sydney is amazing! The photos she took of our newborn daughter are absolutely beautiful and are so precious to me. I love that she came to our home to do our photos - she was able to capture those special first days at home with our baby in her own nursery, and it was also really convenient not to have to pack up a newborn baby and take Baby out of her comfort zone when she was only 10 days old. I can't wait to continue working with Sydney in the future as my daughter grows up!

Classic
Throughout the year we plan to offer special mini sessions during some of our favorite times of the year and locations like: Mount Rainier, Cherry blossoms, Wildflowers, Snow sessions and also studio sessions. Once again, these will be announced first to our past clients and email list and then shared via social media.
What about other locations/dates?
Every year you can expect us to offer mini sessions for Mother's day, Fall and Christmas with select dates and locations. These will be announced first to our past clients and email list.
We offer seasonal sessions
They usually include: 20 minute sessions, 10 digital images, Select dates and locations and immediate family only. These sessions start at around $550 with the option to add on all images for $250.
Yes, we do!
Do you offer mini sessions?
We guarantee that your images will remain in an online gallery for at 90 days from when we deliver the gallery. While your galleries may stay up longer than that, we cannot guarantee it. Once your galleries have been delivered, we highly recommend downloading all high resolution images to several devices. Consider investing in a portable, waterproof external hard drive.
Q: How long will I have access to the images?
Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, we recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) We also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why we LOVE offering prints to our clients.
Q: Can I print the images on my own?
By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However we’ll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. We won’t do this either without your written permission.
Q: Do I own the rights to the images?
We do light retouching on all of our images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) we’ll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require us to add additional editing hours to your collection.
Q: Will you retouch our images?
We typically plan about 60 minutes for sessions but often add on a few more minutes if needed. While we likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes, rowdy kids and time to warm up. Often kids get worn out with anything more than 60 minutes. Adventure sessions are 90 minutes. Minis are 20 minutes.
Newborn sessions are the exception. We don't put a time limit on these types of sessions as newborns are unpredictable and we want to allow time for feeding and diaper changes.
Q: How long should we plan for the session to take?
We send a more in-depth "Meet the photographer" email before your session date so you can get to know her better and receive her contact information. You work with Rebecca planning all the details leading up to and after your shoot date. Sydney however is the one who takes the photos!
Q: When do I get to meet sydney?
You receive your images via an online gallery which we send to your email address on file once your images are ready. It is a password protected gallery that is easy to view, download and order products. Your gallery remains online for 90 days after its delivery date. We recommend you download and save your images in several places to keep them safe. .
