Back to School 2020 Something different about my business: I see jokes all the time about what a photographer does. Pie charts that show “taking pretty pictures” consisting of a tiny part of a pie chart overrun by marketing, editing, and client meetings. Nope. Not here. I am CONSTANTLY refocusing (pun intended) on ensuring my […]

We’re so excited to finally be sharing this Sons of Norway Poulsbo, Washington wedding with Amy and Rob! This planning process was right smack in the middle, victim to all the pandemic restrictions. Amy & Rob rode the waves of “phases” so much more gracefully than I think they believe they did. Many emails & […]

I can not believe how much time has passed since Lio Turned Four already! It’s been over a week since this epic day, celebrating our little gamer. We started the day with a shopping spree at the dollar tree and orange cinnamon rolls! The house was filled with balloons, more Legos, and playdough galore before […]

We Have News! Cats outta the bag. 🤯 We tried to keep a secret until after Christmas but Clynn’s Dad found us out on day two. 🤣🤣🤣 Clynn officially left the corporate ladder to be a full time stay at home Daddy and I’m his full time Sugar Momma. 🙈👊🏽 I still can’t believe it. […]

Labor Day 2020…A day we celebrate working people by giving them the day off? Weird. Sorry, don’t get it. It’s one of my biggest luxuries in life that I don’t get it. I don’t want to. To me, that would be like celebrating Mother’s Day by not talking to your Mom or kids all day. […]

I was so honored to be a guest on The Bokeh Podcast a couple weeks ago! Thank you so much to Nathan for chatting print and business and Haylee for editing! The episode turned out great. I had so much fun getting to discuss this topic. The first half of the episode is basic “get […]

Introducing: Gus! Gus is The Studio’s August 2020 Model! Every four weeks, The Studio (I) works with a new model on weekly sessions. I do this to be sure my shooting stays sharp. It also allows me to try new methods, gear, posing, lighting, etc. in a learning environment rather than on my clients during […]

Basic Training simulated scenario 2010: I stood in the open leading a squad of 8 or so. I held a M249 Machine Gun with an M16 slung on my back. We walked in complete silence. Something didn’t feel right. I held up my hand to pause the squad. I looked to my drill sergeant several […]

I realized as Sydney, Jaeger, and I walked down a familiar path, that I hadn’t shot a session at Discovery Park Blvd in almost a full year!!! That’s so crazy to me as this location is one of The Studio’s most frequented. Here are a few blog posts from this same location through Studio History […]

I was so excited when I pulled up to Cedar Springs in Port Orchard for Carolina and Victor’s wedding last month! I had photographed a wedding at Cedar Springs before, but not as the lead photographer. About three years ago a photographer friend of mine reached out to see if I would assist her at […]
