Your kids won't sit still. That's the point.                                                

 We've been photographing families across the Seattle area for over a decade, and we can tell you this with absolute certainty: the best family photos don't come from everyone sitting still and smiling at the same time. They come from the tickle fights, the piggyback rides, the moment your toddler does something ridiculous and everyone loses it.                                  

 That's what we chase. The real stuff.                                                    

 We're Kalie and Devon — a husband-and-wife team based in Bothell, WA. Our studio has both indoor and outdoor space, which means we can shoot rain or shine (and let's be honest, in the PNW, being rain-ready isn't optional — it's a requirement). We also love shooting on location at parks and spots across the Seattle area.         

  What a Family Session Looks Like                                                      

 No stiff posing. No matching outfits required. No kids melting down because someone told them to "look at the camera and smile" for the fortieth time.                                                              

 Here's what actually happens: we show up, we hang out, we play with your kids, we crack jokes with you, and we capture what unfolds. We'll guide you through natural moments — walking together, sitting on a blanket, throwing your kid in the air — and the magic happens in between.                                                                  

  Our Favorite Family Photo Spots 

 We know the Seattle area inside and out. A few of our go-to locations:

 - Bothell Landing — right in our backyard, gorgeous riverfront light                                    

 - Marymoor Park (Redmond) — open fields, tall grass, golden hour perfection                                

 - Luther Burbank Park (Mercer Island) — waterfront with mountain views                                   

 - Gas Works Park (Seattle) — skyline backdrop, iconic PNW feel                                      

 - Woodinville wineries — rustic charm, great for fall sessions                                       

 Have a spot in mind? We're always up for somewhere new.  

  What Families Say About Working With Us                                                   

 "I can not recommend Filling the Frame Photography enough. We have never had a photographer connect so instantly with us. My husband and I, our daughter, even our dog instantly felt at ease. Normally, we would go through photos and find one or two that we liked. Not this time! We seriously wanted EVERY. SINGLE. ONE." — Erin B.                                             

 "Kalie captured precious memories of not only my family but my childhood home. My 4 year old sat next to me as I scrolled through the pictures and started crying 'happy tears'. It melted my heart." — Julie C.
