Few things speak to my heart as much as one four letter word. FOOD. When I’m pregnant, you can basically quadruple that feeling. I’m all about the food. However, a good lesson (for me) in researching your venues ahead of time was this wedding at Russell’s in Bothell. I had no idea I’d be stepping…
The one thing I’m really glad we didn’t have to give up in 2020 was the couple’s portraits! Its such a huge part of your wedding and planning to have these photos with your partner. Did you also know it’s the #1 regret I hear from my married friends who got married without a photographer?…
Have I told you lately… that my clients are the freakin’ bomb? I planned a bunch of super cute mini sessions for this year and scheduled them all out in my planner. Unfortunately, I also decided to take up woodworking this year. I skipped wearing a respirator when doing a project (because seriously… we mask…
I grew up with a family “woodworker”. For as long as I can remember, my Papa would build us kids the most wonderful things. The oldest thing I remember is my step stool that’s painted with my name. Various other heirloom items are stored in my and my parent’s houses. Those include doll cribs and…
Two quick questions: Do you live near one of the best wedding venues? And if you do, have you been there? I grew up a whopping 15 minutes from The Kelley Farm, which is one Washington’s most spectacular wedding venues. It’s a pretty rare event if I can log into the wedding groups and NOT…
In the spirit of Throwback Thursdays, I’ve decided to put together a little blog series of all my favorite shots! Sure, I could have started with 2016, but that would have been a really short post. So instead, we’re starting with 2020 and we’ll go from there! Be sure to check out the blog posts…
In case you haven’t heard, Altimeter Cabin has quickly become our second home in the midst of the COVID madness. It’s a pure slice of heaven, and I love that we’re able to get away as a family. We’ve actually managed to visit a couple of times, including our Fall Adventure and a Spring Styled…
I’m pretty sure the only way moms really make friends is either through work or through their kid’s friends. As an entrepreneur, it’s HARD to find good mom friends when most of the people I’m virtually surrounded with don’t have kids (or have older ones). But when my kids were in public school, I was…
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…
One of my best kept secrets is that I really love the smell of paper. I’ve always been a bit of a bibliophile. It’s mostly because of the smell when you crack open the book. But it doesn’t just stop there. I was overjoyed when I found Impress Ink and got my hands on some…
