Because you’ll want to remember this

What if 18 years fly by faster than you thought, and before you know it, all you’ve got are some cell phone snapshots? What if weeks turn into months turn into years, and you barely remember what your baby was like when she was only just starting to walk?

Introducing Purple Squid Baby and Children’s Portrait Photography: We design our photo sessions around what your children love capturing their spirit in beautiful, timeless portraits. The way they are right here, right now.


 

Our Child Photography Sessions - Play. Connect. Enjoy

Our sessions are designed to capture stories of the ordinary, beautiful, raw moments and spaces that make up your children’s lives.

By photographing your little ones doing things they enjoy our images are natural and evocative. You’ll tell us how your children love to play - maybe it is building forts with driftwood at the beach, maybe it ‘s blowing bubbles in the yard or an epic game of catch at the park - and we will help you decide where to meet, what to bring, and the best time of the day for our session. You’ll have a fun, giggle-filled experience while we create timeless portraits that celebrate your children’s unique spirit.

Well, Hello!

I’m Oriana the principal photographer here at Purple Squid and I am glad you are here!
After growing up between trees on a mountainside in the black forest region of Germany, I traveled extensively and worked on the creative side for international advertising agencies in Europe and San Francisco. When it was time to start a family, the Pacific Northwest seemed like the perfect place to put down roots and I have been lucky enough to photograph kids in the Seattle area for more than 10 years.  

Since sharing my place with Lego builders, inventors of all kinds of contraptions and small mud-loving people I have come to understand that houses don’t always look perfect, things don’t always go exactly as planned and kids have a mind of their own. Not to worry, don’t sweat the small stuff - we’ll have a fun time while capturing your kids’ true spirit.
I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful children!

Omg!!! They are just beautiful.
We have had Oriana take our family photos and then just some of the kids for three years in a row now. We just love, love, love….Oriana does amazing work and is so good with the kids.
