About Rey

Photographer & Storyteller

I’m a family and children’s photographer based on Mercer Island, serving Seattle, Bellevue, and nearby neighborhoods. I bring decades of on-set experience from the film industry to my work with families, kids, and schools — creating images that feel relaxed, present, and full of connection. My sessions are calm and observant, shaped by timing, light, and what makes your family unique.

The art of everyday connection

Everyday Family Moments

I photograph families doing what they love — playing music, sharing stories, or simply spending time together. The sessions are relaxed and reflect who you really are.

  • Expect a mix of lightly guided portraits and real, unposed moments. We’ll spend time where your family feels most like yourselves — whether that’s your backyard, a nearby trail, or the living room floor.

  • Roughly 30 plus edited images delivered in a private online gallery within three weeks. All photos are high-resolution and ready for download, sharing, or printing.

  • Once you book your session, I’ll send over a simple prep guide with tips to help your shoot go smoothly. From wardrobe suggestions to what to bring (or not), I’ve got you covered. The goal is to keep things relaxed and easy — just show up ready to be yourselves.
