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.

Mercer Island and Seattle family photographer specializing in natural, relaxed sessions. Outdoor or in-home.

I photograph families in Mercer Island and Seattle in a natural, relaxed way — whether that’s playing music, exploring outdoors, or simply spending time together. These family sessions are easygoing and focused on connection.

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

  • You’ll receive a curated set of edited images that reflect your family naturally. Sessions are designed to feel relaxed, and the final gallery includes a mix of portraits and candid moments.

    Family photography sessions in Mercer Island and Seattle include digital images ready for download, sharing, and printing.

  • Keep things simple and comfortable. Choose outfits that feel like you and coordinate without matching too closely. Soft, neutral tones tend to photograph beautifully.

    Try not to overplan — the best moments come from interaction, movement, and just being together. I’ll guide you as needed so nothing feels forced.
