As I reflect on my journey as a wedding photographer, I can’t help but be reminded of my own experiences in this lifetime and how they’ve shaped the way we choose to capture the most intimate moments of our couples’ wedding days. The TLDR (too long, didn’t read) is that we take a hands off…
Hey there, lovebirds! As someone who’s all about capturing those candid and heartfelt moments on your big day, I couldn’t be more excited to rave about Federal Way Buds & Blooms, your go-to spot for all things floral magic! I had the unique opportunity to meet their wedding team at Studio 253 for a content…
March mini sessions were an absolute blast! We were over the moon to see everyone and share in loads of laughter. One of the highlights was having Ashley and her boys swing by for some delightful spring photos. I love that you don’t need to bring out a bunch of props during mini sessions and…
The wedding industry has changed a lot in the 14 years we’ve been wedding photographers. Many businesses are expanding and hiring associate photographers. They seem to love serving all clients, promising lower prices and package deals. But here’s why we resist the trend and what it means for your wedding day: We aren’t just another…
Venturing beyond my comfort zone always brings a thrill. For years, my focus has been on capturing the magic of weddings with a sprinkle of portraiture on the side.

It’s moments like these that make my heart dance with delight, much like the radiant smile…
Jake and I had the honor of photographing Emily + Daniel’s two-part engagement session and their wedding in 2022 after meeting them at the 2022 Seattle Wedding Show! I’m so honored she came back to celebrate her accomplishments with me this month. Emily has graduated with her Master’s from Western Governers University this Winter. She’ll…
I’ve been blessed to have a front row seat to this incredible family as they’re related to me. Ha! It’s been amazing watching my cousin go through a crummy divorce, find true love in Chris and then grow into an incredible mom with two awesome boys. Lucky for me, they count me as their auntie…
Hey there, wedding enthusiasts! Today, I want to take you on a journey through my recent experience at the Puyallup Wedding Show. But before we dive in, let me admit something: I was skeptical. Yep, you heard me right. After a less-than-ideal encounter with a new show in 2023, I wasn’t exactly eager to sign…
Most of the time, couples feel it’s necessary to hire a local photographer in order to save costs and this is completely understandable in the long run. (Local in this case means within approximately 60 miles of your venue.) Photography tends towards the higher end of the expenses spectrum so saving a little money is…
