Let go of perfection, embrace the chaos, and lean into your love and joy during your family photography session.
sebrook Family photographer
A lifestyle family photo session with me is about embracing the chaos while showcasing your love, dynamics, and connections within your family. While you're visiting Seabrook for a family vacation, whether with extended family or immediate family, our time together will be a fun adventure at the beach. With gentle guidance through poses and activities that keep kids and husbands interested, your session will not feel like a chore but a memorable part of your vacation. In the end, you will have a collection of images that tells the story of your family as you are right now.

Seabrook Family Photography Session
$1475 (+WA State Sales Tax)
Together, we will decide on the perfect beach location to capture your family - whether that's in one of the stunning spots along the Seabrook to Ocean Shores area of the Washington Coast.
Your session includes your entire gallery of (at least 75) high-resolution digital files for personal use. Each family photography session also comes with a complimentary 8x8 custom lay-flat album. I know your schedule is busy, so I take care of the entire design process for you. No extra effort required, just a beautiful way to enjoy and display your family's photos.
Together we will create portraits, not just photographs. In my eyes, portraits are something you display in your home and show off to friends and family. Photos are often hidden in a drawer (or on your phone or computer). Ready to make beautiful portraits together on the beach? Contact me to reserve a session date.
*$400 deposit due to book. The remainder is due the week of your session.
**Once a year, I offer a weekend of discounted sessions at Seabrook. My calendar for the following year opens to my newsletter list each November. Subscribe below.
A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF:
You want a playful session that focuses on your family's love and connection while enjoying the beautiful beach scenery of Seabrook, not on stiff poses of everyone looking at the camera
“We absolutely love Neyssa and the photos she takes every year of our family. I love how our photos look like us just being together, laughing, playing, being who we are.
One of our favorite sessions was at Seabrook. Neyssa ALWAYS goes beyond to get the best shots even if it means leaving in a towel (which she did) as she jumped right in the water with us!! The lighting at sunset in Seabrook is magical and it was captured in the photos. I get to relive those moments everytime I see the photos on my wall. I can’t recommend Neyssa enough. The quality of the photos puts me awe every time, and Neyssa is wonderful to work with! "
-Holly, Snoqualmie, WA
I am a natural light, lifestyle portrait photographer. My work can be described as natural, fun, light and authentic. I became a photographer to capture the small, everyday moments and milestones of life and your gallery will reflect that. I am an all inclusive family photographer because I don’t want you to be forced to choose just five photos. I am not after that one “perfect shot” of everyone smiling at the camera.
I provide a large gallery showing genuine connections, personality and the spirit of your family as you are right now. In the end, I want you to look at your gallery of images and truly see yourself, to say, “this is my family, documented beautifully.” My hope is that you will want to display your photos as artwork, because that’s what they are – art.
01. WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER ARE YOU?
As much as we'd like to believe our children are perfect angels, we know that just isn't the case. Kids will be kids. They are unpredictable and they don't always want their picture taken. However, I have been photographing families and kids for over 15 years now. I am also a mother to six kids under the age of 14. Trust me when I say, I have seen it all.
I'm not in the business of making children perform, pose, and smile just so. I may photograph the pout, but then I will suggest a new game or activity. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeves. Parents have told me time and time again, they can't believe the images I captured amidst all the chaos.
Chaos is the story of my life, friend. It is where my photography shines.
02. WHAT IF MY CHILDREN ARE CRAZY DURING MY PHOTO SESSION?!
Of course! Please include your dog! They are family too. I have a few tips and tricks to help you ensure you adore the photos with your dog at the beach.
03. Can I include my dog?
Once you have booked a Seabrook family portrait session with me, you will receive access to my client lounge. This will help you feel confident for your photoshoot! As your session date approaches, we will finalize timing (spoiler: it will be an hour before sunset), where to meet, and which beach we will be using!
I am also here to help you choose the right thing to wear. I guide you through the process, as much or as little as you'd like. Often clients will text me a photo of everyone's outfits laid out. While I want you to be YOU, I know you're making an investment and what you wear matters. I help ensure your photos are timeless while staying true to you.
04. WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I BOOK A SESSION?
The only type of mini session I offer is a mini maternity session, available to expectant moms when they book a newborn session with me.
My approach to photographing your family is to capture the entire story, and 10-15 minutes can just feel too rushed. Children need time to warm up, or get out the wiggles, while parents need time to relax into the processes. I am not about capturing that one “perfect photo” but a collection of images that tell your story, that show your love for each other. Trying to cram that into a short period of time is not only more stressful for mom and the kids, but leaves so much left out.
