CaptureLife Studios began with a simple vision: to create a photography studio in Seattle that not only captured stunning images but also provided an exceptional and personalized experience for every client. Founded in 2010 by Anya Petrova, a passionate and award-winning photographer, the studio quickly gained recognition for its commitment to quality and artistry.

Anya's journey began with a lifelong love for photography, starting with a vintage film camera gifted by her grandfather. After years of honing her skills and developing a unique artistic style, she decided to establish CaptureLife Studios in the heart of Seattle's vibrant arts district. Her goal was to create a welcoming and comfortable space where clients could feel relaxed and confident, allowing their true personalities to shine through in every photograph.

In the early years, CaptureLife Studios focused primarily on portrait and wedding photography, capturing the special moments of families and couples throughout the Puget Sound region. As the studio's reputation grew, so did the demand for its services. The team expanded to include talented photographers specializing in various areas, including commercial, event, newborn, and real estate photography. Each photographer shared Anya's passion for excellence and commitment to client satisfaction.

Over the years, CaptureLife Studios has evolved into a premier photography destination in Seattle, known for its exceptional quality, personalized service, and dedication to storytelling. We are proud to have captured countless cherished moments for individuals, families, and businesses, and we look forward to continuing our legacy of creating timeless memories for years to come.

We have worked tirelessly to build a reputation for not only technical excellence but also for fostering genuine connections with our clients. We understand that being in front of a camera can be daunting, so we prioritize creating a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and confident.
