Hi! I'm shadi
Hi there! I’m a couples and family photographer based in Seattle.
I fell in love with photography because of the way it freezes emotion: the laughter that escapes before a kiss, the wild energy of kids mid-spin, the little moments that define who we love and how we live.
For years, I photographed weddings across the country and discovered that my favorite moments weren’t the perfectly posed ones, but the in-between moments: the hugs before walking down the aisle, the quiet tears, the laughter that caught everyone by surprise. Those moments are what inspired me to shift my focus to everyday stories: couples in love, families in motion, and people simply being themselves.
I promise to never airbrush away what makes you unique. I will never make you feel awkward in front of the camera, and will do my best to convince you for photogenic you really are. Overall, my goal is to capture you as you are - joyful, connected, and real.
When I’m not behind the lens, I work in marketing and partnerships for a tech company. I’ve traveled to five continents, got married in 2023, and recently had my first baby!
Motherhood has been an amazing and perspective shifting experience.
I love cooking, reading books on my Kindle, and dancing in my living room. Sweet treats, comfy pjs, and reality tv are my favorite ways to relax.
I proudly support and photograph all kinds of love stories and families, and I can’t wait to meet you.
