We are two generations of mothers inspired by the women who give their families roots while raising their children wild. You can find us on the shores of Dyes Inlet in Bremerton, WA with a camera in hand and flowers in our arms. The paradox of beauty: Some things are pretty because they are fleeting […]
I am doing Valentine’s day mini sessions on February 3rd and I am SO excited! I still have space available so email me at kiana@kianamccrackin.com to book your slot! These sessions will be 15 minutes long at my studio in Queen Anne, Seattle with a special Valentine’s Day set (different then pictured here). Here is […]
I have always been a hoarder. I come by it honestly, my Grandma is a hoarder, and probably her Grandmother before her. It started before I can remember. When I was very small I had an Altoid tin that I collected treasures in. My Mom likes to point out that my “treasures” were broken erasers […]
I hope she remembers when she was a small girl she loved to smell the flowers and twirl in flowing dresses. I hope she remembers all the wonders she discovered in forests and on beaches. I hope she looks back and smiles when she thinks of the games she played and the thoughts she had. […]
This bunny has seen a lot: tears, laughter, love, childhood. What a perfect witness to the first few years of life. Each bit of the beloved toy that is a little worn tells the sweet story. Someday, far too soon, this bunny will be laid aside, perhaps packed away in a box and briefly forgotten, […]

All this sweet mama wanted for her session was a little bit of sunshine. When we all got to Discovery park the sky was a decided gray. An unwavering blanket of clouds. The forecast had promised sun…I had checked it everyday all week. We soldiered on, not entirely surprised that Seattle’s weather was unpredictable in […]
This is my time of year, I can feel the shift in the air. The fall is lingering with the summer in a beautiful dance, vying with each other to control the weather. This session was one of my last summer ones. We hid in the shade from the strong sun and played in front of […]
When I was seventeen years old I got on a yellow school bus for the first time in my life and headed off to Nathan Hale, the third and final high school I attended in my teen years. I was nervous for a lot of things…would the other kids like me. Where would I eat […]
