Parenthood is the most fulfilling job

“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! “

Do you want authentic photos of your children being who they are but feel that an in-home session is too intimate for you? Then my studio sessions are a great option, they were designed to close the gap between the traditional everyone looking at the camera portraits and the meaningful moments you want to remember. Your job is to show up, be yourself and have a fun family time!

My clients are constantly surprised by how effortless my photo sessions are.

Each session will be customized to suit you, the family, and the things that make you unique, that tell your story, style, and personality.

My minimalist studio will be the perfect backdrop for your photos, and we will focus only on the love, connection, and all the emotions that come from childhood and being a parent.

After the photoshoot, you will choose your favorite images and purchase only the photos that you absolutely love.

Family sessions take place at my studio in Bothell. This indoor photoshoot leaves you comfortable no matter the weather outside, so everyone is relaxed and having a great time.

This session is meant for fun and laid-back families who value connection over perfection. I'll focus on capturing the love, the laughs, the snuggles, and the moments that make the tired parent think it’s all worth it.

The more candid the photos are the better, so get ready for an hour of laughter and family fun!

We specialize in crafting moments and welcoming stories. Each session is more than a photoshoot; it's a collaborative journey where your unique narrative takes center stage. From candid captures to the beauty of the life stage, your family is in, we're here to ensure your memories are not just photographed but crafted with warmth and “acolhimento” a Portuguese word that means welcoming and cherished.

That’s literally all the planning you need to do.

It is time for your photo session. Relax. Just be yourself. It is going to be great. We will meet at the studio and make some magic. I am a very laid-back person and there is nothing your kids can do that will horrify me. So, don’t worry I don’t judge and I’m a mom too.
