Meaningful moments
"Lena's work is incredible! She has such an artful eye"
As a Tacoma photographer, I’m inspired by the gentle waves of the Sound, the beauty of old homes, and the stories that unfold within them. Whether it’s the sweet rhythm of new parenthood or a celebration years in the making, I blend film and digital photography to create imagery that feels honest, warm, and lasting.
My full-service sessions are calm and connection-driven — designed to support busy families and modern couples with wardrobe guidance, relaxed pacing, and custom artwork that brings meaning into your everyday spaces.
Hi, I'm Lena
There’s something about timeless views, playful reflections of light, and the salty air of the coast that stirs up a part of yourself that can’t help but be drawn to unhurried, intentional days.
I’m Lena, a Tacoma wedding and family photographer who wants you to feel just like that — carving out memories, taking photos with no time limit, and feeling right at home. You’ll miss these moments one day, and I won’t let them pass by.

I’ve taken everything into consideration — the time that often seems to run out, the stress of finding outfits and the one question you almost always push to the side — will this be worth it? By taking care of these needs, and more, you’ll not only find yourself settling effortlessly, into the moment, but you’ll also walk away with timeless artwork to display in your home, and pass down as the years go by.
"So patient and so talented! I'm chomping at the bit to see more!"
A big, huge shout out to our official photographer, Lena Porter! So patient and so talented! I'm chomping at the bit to see more! Throughout the wedding she could be seen quietly looking around, choosing the perfect moment to snap and capture... Like a waltz, moving with the rhythm of the party.
