You know you’re getting “old” when you’ve spent your life watching someone grow up and they call you to shoot their engagement session. I’m pretty sure I said this same thing when she came to me for her Senior Session too. But the best adventures are those shared with friends, and I’m super glad we…
Back in May, our family decided we needed to go visit a Pacific Coast Icon: Cannon Beach. I’m sure Jake and I had been there at some point growing up (not together obviously), but none of our kids had gotten the opportunity to visit. Our trip created the perfect opportunity to shoot a Cannon Beach…
We live by the phrase “Everyday is an adventure” around here and try to really embrace it. My kids love to go on treasure hunts (if you haven’t heard of Capt. Pepperjack, you must check him out!) and we spend a lot of time adventuring in our own backyard. When Kinsey + Mike needed a…
Brennan and Brianna’s engagement session was all the way up at Gold Creek pond. This is one of my favorite areas to come to, for adventure sessions, just because I like the slower pace of the hike. You can walk all the way out and around the pond finding some really beautiful backdrops for photos….
It’s not a secret that my favorite couples are those who aren’t “boxed in” by traditions. So it stands to reason that this waterfall adventure chasing couple instantly became my new best friends this weekend. When Gina first contacted me, she wasn’t intimidated by my growing family. It didn’t even phase her, that I would…
Clients who are always down for an adventure, tend to steal my heart right away. When Brittany hired me and said they wanted a snowy engagement session, I may or may not have squealed. (No, I won’t tell! You can decide on your own. Ha!) I presented Brittany and Chad with a few options for…
Let’s be honest: It’s taken me WAY TOO LONG to sit down and write this Tipsoo blog post. But I mean, there was that whirlwind September wedding season, a fire that had us on evacuation alert, homeschooling and I probably had to make soup or some other excuse. So here we are two months after…
This Franklin Falls Engagement is the last thing I photographed before the shutdown of 2020. I’ve been known to shoot in all weather conditions: rain, snow, sleet, hail. However, when there are avalanche warnings and we’re hiking 7 miles in the snow; yeah, that’s even a “no” from me. Having to postpone Sarah and Cody’s…
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself” – Amelia Earhart Those people who cross your path for a reason… Alycia and Nick are two of them. We met in a Facebook group and tried several times to set up a session with them. For one reason or another, it never happened. Finally the time was right and…
I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure… Wayne and Miranda were such a joy to share an adventure with. They drove all the way to Gold Creek Pond for their adventure engagement session. The dedication they had, including selecting the perfect outfits, finding some special props (like their hubby & wifey cups! I…
An Adventure Session lead by Dan Manning Photography Adventure Sessions are one of those things I dream about constantly. You’d better believe my excitement when I found out Dan was leading a breakout at Deception Pass. Even at 17 weeks pregnant, I knew I had to snag a spot in this Deception Pass adventure session….
The past year in my Tacoma studio has allowed me to sample the local flair on Pacific Avenue. When Cori asked to do something “different” for their engagement session, I was totally game for the idea. After some chatting, Cori and I settled on a three part adventure: The Forum, Pacific Avenue, and Dorky’s. She…
