Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: As a photographer, I seek to capture the unique aura of each individual I have the privilege of working with.
Each session comes with a consultation, discussing your vision, style, hopes, concerns, expectations, etc. I understand that being photographed can be a very sensitive and daunting process for some. I will always listen attentively to the needs my clients and accommodate to any special requests to the best of my abilities.
My style is often described as artistic, editorial, clean and captivating.
I specialize in individual, couples or family portraits. I also have experience with small intimate weddings and videography.
Thank you for considering me for documenting your special moments. Thank you for supporting part-time photographer and full time mama 🤍

I highly recommend working with Maxine! We hired her for a family photoshoot for 5 people plus my dog. She was able to have a very fast turn around time and offer very artistic and beautiful photos of us :) She is very professional and friendly and you should hire her for your next photoshoot.

Hands down the best photographer in Seattle! I reached out last minute to schedule a photography session and immediately got a response and was able to book a session! My boyfriend and I were traveling into town for the weekend. We felt so at ease with Maxi. Such a beautiful, downtown soul who will capture candid moments. 😊💕 Definitively recommend Maxi! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had the best photo experience with Maxi! We are from North Carolina and visiting the Seattle area for the holidays, and we wanted to do some last-minute family photos.
Maxi was quick to respond, fun to work with, and very efficient. She captured our family in such a natural way and made the whole photo experience enjoyable and effortless, even with our kids! Maxi made the extra effort to scout out the area beforehand… in the snow. Amazing!
Our photos are stunning, and we would ask Maxi to take photos again in a heartbeat.

Our family photo session with Maxine was such a joy. She made us all feel comfortable and enjoy our time together. I truly appreciate her love for photography and how fast her turn around was with the photos is unheard of. She is flexible with scheduling and takes the time to ask detailed questions about your family and the ideas you envision for your session. Thank you Maxine for your kindness, professionalism and taking the time to incorporate our needs. I highly recommend her services.

We wanted to take family portraits that also captured the beautiful fall foliage, and Maxine recommended Juanita Bay Park, which was a lovely suggestion. Ahead of our shoot, Maxine suggested wearing muted colors and bringing some props like blankets and boots, which was super helpful! During our shoot, Maxine let our 4yo help “scout locations” and feel like a part of the process, which made it a lot of fun for us. She took beautiful candid shots while we were simply strolling around the park together, and also gave tips on how to pose while we were sitting on a bench or underneath a tree. We made leaf piles, got both kids to smile at the camera, and thoroughly enjoyed the shoot! Turn around was extremely fast, the gallery was easy to browse, and the photos were BEAUTIFUL and easy to download. I would recommended Maxine to anyone in a heartbeat!
