My family sessions are all about fun and interaction. I offer sessions in a studio like setting or a natural location, depending on your preference. Often, people delay family photoshoots because it seems like a lot of effort, but these are the memories you will treasure forever. You don't need to worry about your kids being perfectly still or behaved; let them play, and I'll guide you all through prompts and poses to ensure everyone is comfortable and can be themselves. In the end the effort will be more than worthwhile as you'll have beautiful artwork to display on your walls showcasing the love and sweet moments of your family.

Real Families. Cherished Memories.
Outdoor family sessions are not only fun and enable everyone to express themselves freely, but they also provide stunning natural settings that studio environments can't replicate.
Kitsap photo sessions
Don't want to take the chance on the weather not cooperating for an outdoor session? No worries - I can bring the studio to you. Consider this family, for example. The weather forecast predicted cool and rainy conditions, so we opted for a studio-style session in their Silverdale home. This allowed me to have complete control over the lighting, resulting in a softer and more sophisticated look and style for their photographs.

Living in the moment is a gift. That's why it's called the present. Every family has a unique story to tell, and my goal is to capture and freeze time to document yours. I want to preserve the bonds you share and all the moments in between. Children often take the lead and I adapt to their energy while guiding you through your session. From start to finish, I'll be there every step of the way, ready to provide guidance and answer any questions. Whether you choose an outdoor photo session or prefer a studio-like session, the end result will be beautiful artwork for your home.

Throughout this planning phase I'll ask about more specific details you have in mind for your session. We'll have a conversation about your preference for an outdoor, natural setting or a studio-like photo session.

Throughout this process, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have along the way.

On the day of our session, we'll meet at the predetermined location and time. You don't need to stress about anything; simply unwind, enjoy the experience, and be yourselves.

You'll leave the photo session with a collection of wonderful memories that beautifully showcase the love and happiness within your family.

Beth was absolutely amazing with my son! He was almost 6 weeks old and she was very patient with him. I would definitely recommend her for all your newborn picture needs!
Newborn session
Our in-home newborn photography session was beyond any expectations I could've imagined. Elizabeth brought all the props and equipment in clean, organized containers. She had a detailed plan for our photo shoot, but graciously allowed time for feeding / diaper changes / snuggles with our sweet new baby. The editing was done within a few days after we chose our favorites! Sometimes this can take awhile, but Elizabeth made sure we had our perfect photos as soon as possible! Our family has shown off these photos numerous times, and will continue to refer Elizabeth Benecki to anyone looking for newborn photography! Her creativity and love for her work is beautiful, and we are so happy with our son's photos!
Newborn Session
... Beth was amazing. I told her I wanted to capture fall and she had amazing ideas and props to make it happen. She takes her time and is willing to work with you at your pace. She never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She is a hands on photographer, she will give you a sense of direction for posing and ideas for pictures. Her compassion shows through her work and she is someone I will always recommend for maternity and / or newborn sessions.
Maternity Session
Beth photographed our family while we were expecting our second daughter. She was patient with my toddler, took her time to get the perfect shots, and focused on the little details to make each shot special. The memories our family made during the time of the shoot are just as valuable as the images we will cherish forever. I couldn’t recommend Beth enough!
Maternity Session
I was surprised at how fun the photo shoot was and how well they turned out! They will always be so special to me! Beth is a seriously talented photographer who not only has a good eye, but really directs you on how to pose which I needed!
I love how she incorporated what she normally does in a studio and did it outside for me. She is very flexible and creative. I absolutely love love my pictures and am so grateful I got to have her as my photographer!
Maternity Session
We had a great experience with Beth. First of all she is a baby whisperer. She had our normally fussy newborn calm and comfortable for the multiple hours during the session. Before the photoshoot she had great tips for us on how to prep for the session and helped us choose colors that would be most complementary. Then she provided all the props and outfits for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Beth was also very conscientious of my newborn's needs and my needs during our family pictures. She took care to make sure we were both comfortable. She was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process and she got the edits back to us quickly. I love all the options she has for photo books and keepsakes as well. I would highly recommend!
