Meet Your Seattle Photographer

I'm Ling Ling!

I've been in your shoes and know the effort involved in family photos. My phone has tons of family selfies, isn't that enough? I'm here to tell you the crisp, colorful, professional photos of me (yep! I pay for family photos too) loving on my family are some of my most prized possessions.

I am a Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle photographer. I got my first camera in college (thank you boyfriend-now-husband), but it wasn't until the birth of my two daughters that I started taking thousands of photos.

"I found immense joy in documenting the love, craziness and utter satisfaction that is parenthood."

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I really grew my photography skills, poring over countless tutorials and taking rigorous courses that taught me how to perfect lighting, run a smooth family photography session and edit in Lightroom/Photoshop.

I am honored to say I am a Click Pro Elite photographer. This is an association of advanced photographers, with membership gained only through a rigorous 150 image portfolio review, judged in 7 categories. I have the technical and creative skills to create beautiful family photos for you!


I am an Eastside and Seattle photographer and want to document the joy between you and your loved ones! I use a Sony a7iv body, a Sigma 35mm Art lens and a Sony 85mm lens. When I am not photographing families, I am playing tickets-to-ride with my girls, tackling that laundry load and exploring the gorgeous PNW. I would love meet you!


(Thank you Kelly Anderson Photography for the branding!)
