Editorial Family Photography
I capture your family’s authentic connection with a modern editorial style. I photograph all my sessions in my beautiful natural light studio in Lower Queen Anne to focus on your story and showcase the love you share with no distractions.
My sessions create genuine, deeply personal portraits with an editorial twist that will make you feel like you belong in a magazine — Your family magazine
Tired of stuffy poses?
so was I, so i created an offer that isn't
For your next family photoshoot book an editorial family session and never have to worry about posing, smiling or faking any emotions you don't want to. In my studio, all the feelings are natural and emotions, genuine. I guide your family gently to explore fun, new and different moments of connection that create an environment centered around love, togetherness and belonging. Does this sound stuffy? I don't think so.

My Painless Process
5 easy steps & you're looking at timeless keepsakes of your family
Hi, I'm Dasha and I'm an open book. :) From the moment we first talk I show up with a calm and confident presence that tells you I will take care of your every need with compassion and kindness because I truly care about the experience you have in my studio.
Editorial family photography isn't just a cool headline, it's a feeling, a fleeting moment captured and told as a story through an artist's eye. I take the moments you share and I deliver keepsakes that will make you smile each time you look back on them with love and remember the amazing bond you share with your babies.
My promise to you: You will fall head over heals in love with your family all over again.
The images that come from your family session will forever remind you that your family is a legacy and it unites you all. That's why these moments in life are so important to capture. It's a season that deserve to be looked back on as time passes with joy and laughter, remembering their little toes and tiny giggles.
Your family is your story.

Hi, my name is Dasha!
Hello, my name is Dasha Denger. I am the Producer, Owner and Photographer of White Moth Studio right here in Seattle, WA.
I got my start in photography back in 2009 when I launched my boutique family & senior portrait photography business, which over the years evolved into fashion and editorial work. I spent much of my career in the Midwest (Chicago baby!) creating editorial stories until recently moving to Seattle in 2023 and starting White Moth Studio.
Launching White Moth made me discover my new path: editorial portraits for families, kids and mama's to be, catering to the modern, style-conscious Seattle families who want photographs that feel real, intimate, and intentional.
With my background in fashion and editorial photography, I bring the same creative direction, wardrobe styling, and intentional storytelling to family photography that I did when I was photographing fashion magazine editorials. Because I believe it's necessary to capture real families in a way that is honest, deeply personal, and artfully composed. I hope to create timeless keepsakes that reflect your family’s unique story.
I believe your family is your story. So why not have photos that tell it?
Let's connect and see what we can create together!
Unruly kiddos?
No problem, I gotchu
I love to keep the vibes chill & free, because that's how I want their energy to flow so we get the most authentic moments between siblings. We never use bribing tactics that can be taken away and cause heartbreak. Instead, I guide with love and kindness, centering around feelings of inclusion and curiosity that makes your kiddos feel involved, seen and important. And that's how your photos will look so authentic and pure.
Client Love —
Kathie, Mom
Dasha is so talented and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
She was amazing with my kids, such a great calming presence, and captured their personality in an incredibly natural way.
It was a really smooth experience from start to finish, and we got the photos back so quickly, all of them completely gorgeous - it's going to be hard to pick which ones to frame.

Tell me more about what makes your sessions "editorial"
The approach with which I plan & design each session coupled with the shooting style & high-end retouching creates an editorial experience from start to finish. I use a wide angle lens to create that fashion-inspired look. ;)
What makes your Print Products "editorial"
Our keepsake products are editorial in style because of upscale and modern materials, custom made to order graphic design & typography that combined helps build a story through your images. Think Miranda Priestly's office from The Devil Wears Prada — Elevated and chic with a classic spin.

Please Read our Blog on preparing for an Editorial session!
What if my kids don't want to pose?
Great, then they should be themselves! Editorial approach is simple — The less they are told to say "cheese" the more authentic and natural they feel about themselves giving me room to capture their personality fully. All sessions are gently guided but never posed.
Can I print my digitals?
Yes! All Sessions come with a print release to print up to size 11x14 in unlimited quantity. You are welcome to print out your images for personal, home use only by downloading them from your personalized gallery!
Where is your studio located?
All sessions are photographed at our studio in Lower Queen Anne, 114 W Denny Way, Seattle WA.
