I can’t count the number of times I’ve visited Northwest Trek as a kid (or an adult with kids). Until last year, I didn’t realize that…
Wedding couples… get ready to swoon. The Northwest Trek Keeper Tour is simply divine when it comes to having beautiful couples photos. An Adventure to Remember Long before I knew about the Northwest Trek Keeper Tour, I remember riding on the trams. My imagination would run wild and I’d pretend I was one of the…
Small elopements are quickly becoming my favorite things. Last year, I was given the honor of photographing Murphy and Dustin when their family session changed to a last minute elopement. It was their elopement that brought Alisa and Melissa to me. Alisa contacted me only a few days before their Pioneer Park Elopement in Steilacoom….

Before you post all over your social media accounts, take a few moments to decide why you’re really posting that announcement. I’ve gathered a few tips…

An Adventure Session lead by Dan Manning Photography Adventure Sessions are one of those things I dream about constantly.

I had the pleasure of photographing at VanLierop Garden Market alongside one of my favorite photographer-colleagues!
