Mercae
Seattle Mom Talk
Hi, I'm Mercae, a studio maternity and in-home newborn photographer and owner of Lilac & Ivy Photography, based in Seattle. I'm here to spill all the tea about motherhood in Seattle; what you need to know about neighborhoods, parks, things to do, annual events, where to shop, and more. I invite guests onto the show, mothers in business, to share about their journey and their business in Seattle. Get to know how to dig into Seattle as a mother. Pending mom meetups in Seattle proper!
