I've used Ali as a family photographer for years. She has always been kind, thoughtful and flexible... especially with constant kid germs impacting schedules. She recently did a branding session for me and it was exactly what I'd hoped for. Hands down, Ali is one of the best humans and more than easy to work with.

Ali was absolutely amazing during our in-home newborn photo session! She instantly made our kids feel comfortable, allowing them to be their true, playful selves, and even included our animals in the mix! Her warm approach turned the entire experience into a fun, relaxed session that felt natural and easy for everyone.

I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe the most meaningful photos come from slowing down, staying grounded, and letting your real life unfold in front of the lens. Whether that’s your wild and wonderful toddlers, your first weeks as a new parent, or the business you’ve poured your heart into — your story deserves to be remembered.
I’m a former educator, a Seattle transplant, and a forever storyteller. My approach is easy-going, intentional, and focused on connection. I started Sound Roots Photography as an extension of a family blog over a decade ago — and it’s grown into a calling rooted in community, memory, and a whole lot of love (plus guacamole).
