Legacy
Portraits
The most meaningful milestones often live in the quietest moments—a small hand wrapped around yours, a soft laugh, the way they lean into you without thinking. Childhood moves quickly, and my hope is to preserve a glimpse of this fleeting season. Photographs that, years from now, bring you back to their soft touch, their sweetness, and the feeling of this beautiful chapter of your family’s story.
Preserving the Moments That Become Your Family’s Legacy
Deyla's
Approach
No stiff posing, gentle guidance
Family sessions are designed to feel relaxed, natural, and meaningful. Rather than stiff posing, I gently guide you into moments that allow your family’s real connection to unfold. The laughter, the quiet embraces, the way your children instinctively reach for you. These are the moments that tell your story. to go over anything needed to ensure a seamless day.
Locations
Sessions can take place outdoors in the beautiful Pacific Northwest light or in my studio for a more intimate and timeless feel and if you want to get out of the rain. Before your session, I’ll help guide you through wardrobe and location so everything feels true to your family.
Results that are lasting
The result is a collection of photographs that feel honest and authentic imagey that reflect who you are together in this season of life.
Lifestyle sessions are the most relaxed and storytelling option. Perfect to capture your newborn or growing family in your home, making cookies together and playing on the couch or bed. These sessions are ideal for families who want a fuller experience and a collection of images that capture both the big moments and the quiet in-between ones. Allowing more time for connection, movement, and the natural rhythm of your family to unfold. We can explore a beautiful outdoor location, spend time in your home, or photograph in the studio with soft, natural light. These sessions are around one hour to an hour and a half and giving you a large beautifully curated gallery to print as you wish.
Mini sessions are a shorter 30-minute session offered throughout the year. They are perfect for families with little ones who are moving alot and truly wouldn't last a full hour. I always encourage alot of play during these, keeping the kidos engaged and happy making sure you get the best out of the 3o minute session as well as beautiful imagery in a curated gallery to print as you wish.
Legacy Portrait sessions are designed for large gatherings and extended families. Whether it’s multiple generations together, a family reunion, or an important milestone celebration, these sessions focus on creating timeless portraits of the entire family while also capturing meaningful group combinations. These photographs often become treasured pieces displayed in homes and passed down for generations. These sessions typically can last an hour but not restricted to that.

Maternity sessions are a beautiful way to honor this brief and transformative season. These sessions focus on the connection between you, your growing baby, and the anticipation of what’s to come. Partners and children are always welcome to be part of the session, creating images that celebrate the beginning of a new chapter for your family. These can be photographed in my studio or in a beautiful outdoor location as well as in your home. These sessions are about an hour and you will have a stunning curated gallery to print and share as you wish. Perfect for announcements as well!

Deyla recently took photos of our family. Now every mom knows how difficult it can be to keep your kids engaged, smiling (naturally) and patient- Deyla was so incredibly helpful and kept the kids entertained throughout the entire shoot. At one point, she even let my daughter tell her what area to shoot (so she felt like she was helping). I couldn't have been more pleased with the images and capturing this time in our lives. Deyla, thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!
