Meet the photographer
I’m Katharina! I’m so excited to meet you.
While I am originally Brazilian, I have been living in the beautiful Seattle area for the last 16 years. We moved here when my husband was hired by Microsoft, and I absolutely love it! I wish we had a few more sunny days, but other than that It’s stunning.
My passion for photography sparked 11 years ago when my first daughter, Sarah, was born. I'm sure this is a feeling most parents can relate to, but I truly wanted to savor every single moment of her childhood.
“Children grow up so quickly, so I wanted a way to freeze time and remember these precious moments together.”
Warmly,
Katharina

“Katharina truly has a gift with her intimate perspective of love and playfulness between a family. I can be critical of myself in photos, however all I see is the beauty of motherhood. I am in tears!”

"Katharina is amazing and her photographs are beautiful! She is quick with correspondence and booking our newborn family session was effortless. During our session, she was very patient with our fussy newborn and helped occupy/entertain our 2 year old. Her photographs beautifully captured our new family and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend and will be a returning customer."

We were blown away by Katharina’s photography! Neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera but for the first time we absolutely love our photos – and that is all down to Katharina. She put us at total ease and her effortless style and natural pictures made the whole process wonderful. When we saw the final pictures, I cried looking at the beautiful way she captured our family. I can’t recommend Katharina enough – our favorite photographer we’ve worked with!"

No unnatural posing, only props that are meaningful to your family, like your child’s favorite stuffed animal or something that speaks to your heritage.
Each session will be customized to suit you! When you book a family session, the day will be designed around your family’s specific needs & wants, the aspects that make you unique, your style, and your personality.
Below is a list of my services

Maternity Session
Expecting a child is an extraordinary journey filled with profound emotions. Your heart swells with love as your body undergoes incredible transformations. Welcoming a child into the world is a privilege beyond compare, an opportunity to witness the miracle of life and nurture a love that knows no bounds.

Newborn
Get ready for some up close and personal snuggle time with your new baby. I believe that babies are perfect, just the way they are. My sessions are baby-led, which means I do not put newborns in awkward and unsafe poses. The most important part of my newborn sessions is capturing parents' love for their babies in the early moments of their new life.

Studio sessions for fun families who value connection over perfection. My studio seamlessly blends a clean minimalist space with the warmth of home—a haven crafted for genuine moments and the feeling of "acolhimento" Portuguese word that means welcomed and embraced.

School Photography
We are all too familiar with school photos.
As a small business, my approach to school photos is both personal and professional. I have a small and select client list and as a result, can provide superior customer service and beautiful artistic images.
Plus, as a mom, I have so much experience working with kids.
My patience and genuine love for children allows me to approach photoshoots in a way that makes your child feel happy and comfortable and brings out their very best.
