Photos by Bailey

Here are the results of my previous reel! I didn’t share sneaks of the entire set but here are just a few snaps of the last 17 minutes of the session. I get a ton of variety at your branding session so one look can turn into a lot of options for you!

I also love using paper backdrops that make sense for your branding colors. This espresso brown sort of gives off a leather vibe and leaving the bottom rolled up to expose the concrete gives a different vibe and I just loooooove it.

Book your branding shoot with me for this summer! Your brand deserves it 🫶🏼

Capturing mamas and their babies has to be one of my favorite things in the world. The sweet snuggles, the giggles, and the fierce feminine energy to protect and nurture at the same time.

This Sunday, my community group is partnering with one of our sister communities for a special Mother’s Day Gathering at one of our favorite places: .tacoma.

The event is free (link in bio) and there will be multiple vendors there to shop, including this backdrop and opportunity for motherhood portraits with me! You can simply take photos on your phone in front of the backdrop for free, or you can purchase a Polaroid OR micro digital session from me, similar to the photos you see here (with 3 hi-res images delivered 1-2 weeks after the event).

We cannot wait to see you there!!

I love the details 😍

I was going through some photos for a friend’s gift and I really just loved these ring shots (all of her/her husband’s rings) from their elopement with fam in Seattle and then their wedding day with everyone in Minnesota.

Which one is your fave? I love the monstera leaf one 🌿

I’m going to be super real with you right now: please please please do not wait to reach out to your photographer.

If you know you want photos in 2026, literally right now is the best time to connect. My link to inquire is in my bio. Let’s get that glorious face in front of my lens 😍

When is the worst time? October.

We will fit you in, but it’s definitely contributing to the mental breakdown we are going to have in December ☠️

In the PNW, we are entering the golden months for outdoor sessions. Take advantage and get on the radar now. Once we hit October, the weather starts to mess with our availability, the days start to be shorter, and the holidays are fast approaching.

If you don’t care about fall leaves, consider getting your session done in April, May or June! If you don’t want holiday specific, consider July, August or September.

That subtle shift in your session date allows you to get something checked off your to do list early, increase your chances of nice weather, and have an opportunity to do a story telling session with your family at a location that means the most to YOU.

So what are you waiting for, have you reached out?

Love,

Your fave photographer who is apparently on one right now 😆☠️ on behalf of all her photog phriends

I’m also laughing because this fam did get on my calendar last minute in October (so it’s possible!) BUT they were VERY flexible and we squeezed it in like a brief window of time on a weekday which makes life much easier than a fall weekend lol, so there ARE exceptions. If you’re going to reach out late you must be prepared to be FLEXIBLE AF.

Listen Linda, you need a new headshot if:

🤍 you get ads for Korean Skincare routines
🤍 you’ve changed your hair
🤍 you’re having a HS reunion soon
🤍 you’re searching for a job
🤍 your current headshot is a selfie or AI 👀
🤍 you’re starting a business
🤍 you want a personalized email signature
🤍 you were born in the 1900’s
🤍 you’ve wondered what “si # # ” means

On Sunday May 3rd I’m hosting my first ever mini headshot sessions, and I plan to offer these twice a year. This is a great, affordable opportunity to get a simple headshot to use for the next 5-10 years 😆

A headshot goes a long way. It’s your calling card in a digital world. It’s the first impression on your email signature, the upgrade to your Apple ID, and the least you can do to further yourself in your career.

$150 + tax gets you:

⚡️3-5 hi-res edited images
⚡️additional images available for upgrade
⚡️session guide
⚡️a great headshot experience in front of my lens
⚡️the empowerment you didn’t know you needed

Booking page is linked in my bio, only 20 spots available!

Also how cute are my friends, fellow photographers & .paulson
