ILLUSTRATED PHOTO SESSIONS
For individuals, couples & families · Seattle & Bellevue
Your real moments, with a little more imagination.
I photograph you, then transform selected images with original hand-drawn illustrations — created by me, your child,
or both of us together.
Created by Mari Ashkenazi — photographer & illustrator
Imagine yourself here
Dinosaurs behind the curtains. Creatures hiding in ordinary objects. A whole universe growing out of a child’s drawing.
There are no rules here — we create a story that belongs only to you.
Two ways to create
the magic
Your story, your way. I can create the illustrated world for you — or we can bring your child’s imagination into it together.
WE DRAW
Your child can become the co-creator
Your child can draw a character, creature or anything they imagine. I’ll bring their artwork into the photographs and combine it with my own illustrations to turn their idea into a real visual story.
I DRAW
I create the world for you
You don’t need to draw or even arrive with an idea. We’ll find the story together, and after the photo session I’ll create original illustrations especially for your photographs.
 How It Works?
  • WE IMAGINE
    Tell me a little about yourself and who will be in the photos. You can bring an idea — or we can create one together.
    01
  • WE CREATE
    I can create the illustrations myself, or your child can join the process with their own drawings. We can also mix their artwork with mine.
    02
  • WE SHOOT
    Then comes the photo session. I photograph real moments, expressions and interactions while keeping our imaginary world in mind.
    03
  • I BRING IT TO LIFE
    After the session, I select and edit the photographs and create the illustrations by hand. You receive a collection of photographs that exist nowhere else.
