The overwhelming joy of getting to photograph friends weddings is unmeasurable. This year I was able to photograph the wedding of not one childhood friend, but TWO! Devon is the daughter of my across the street neighbor, and one of the neighborhood kids I grew up with. We’ve been connected for as long as I…
Early this spring, we had a booth for the Barn at Wilson Farm open house. I had a session that day, but Jake was able to stay and meet some new friends. Jenny and Albert were one of the couples he met that day and they loved him. We were so excited when they chose…
Over the summer last year, I was added to a group on Facebook where disappointed brides were airing all the yuck on the vendors who did them dirty. When the surprise wore off (and I’d thoroughly checked to make sure my name and my vendor friend’s names weren’t in any of the posts) I could…
I’m always on the lookout for adorable local spots to do engagement photos. One of those spots that’s been at the top of my list for a while is Buckley Main Street. You’d better believe I jumped at the chance to shoot there when Rachael + Mario needed a last minute engagement session! Running out…
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…
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….
Bertelsen Winery was the perfect backdrop for this breakout It’s not every day that you meet soulmates, but at Bertelsen Winery in Mt Vernon, that’s exactly what happened. While attending Photolush 2019, I was able to participate in a breakout lead by Jamie of Jamie Buckley Photography. He’d photographed a few couples for his No…
A favorite gem in Tacoma, Point Defiance Park offers multiple areas with the beautiful PNW vibe I love! Megan and I had a ton of contact via messenger prior to their Point Defiance Park engagement session, and you’d better believe I fell for her personality right away. Sometimes it’s easy to tell when you’re just…
The PNW engagement session seems to be one of those things a lot of people deem unnecessary. Sometimes the groom isn’t really “into” the idea of being photographed more than necessary, and sometimes it’s just not in the budget for the overall wedding. But PNW engagement sessions are important for more than just announcing your…
The Pacific Northwest isn’t known for the sun, so when we planned with Madison and Samuel for their PNW engagement session to include a hike up to Pinnacle Peak, it wasn’t surprising that Washington and Mother Nature decided to drop a storm on us! After almost an entire week of gorgeous weather, she gave us…
