For the last couple years, Clynn and I have taken 4-6 days to head down to Vegas. This time, I’m staying home and Clynn’s off to Vegas for his fourth year in a row! I’m a little bummed. For the last couple years we used this time to reflect on our lives, our goals, where […]

A Back-Blog from Flora & Christian’s late night Olympia Courthouse Elopement. This last week I’ve booked two and had at least four inquiries for elopements! Doing so had me recalling the few elopements I’ve done in the past. I love weddings of all sizes! From elopements, to intimate ceremony’s of 20. From standard 100 to […]

Every morning I feel the urge to write. The first thing I crave is coffee and an outlet to brain dump. I’m a writer. Declare your title. I’m also a professional photographer, yes, but I’ve used writing as an outlet my entire life. That’s part of why I love this blog so much and why […]

BACK BLOG!! In 2017 I photographed so many weddings I didn’t have time to blog most of them. I was too busy editing and communicating with my couples! This year, The Studio has a team of editors so I have time to expand the website and share more of the work I put so much […]

Clynn and I are back from our second weekend at Sheep Lake and Diving Back In to August wedding season! We intentionally blocked off two weekends in a row for some time in the mountains/vacationing. What we didn’t plan on was there being no moon the first trip we made. Clynn had a specific shot […]

Clynn and I are headed out on another hiking trip this weekend! We’ll be back on the grid and responding to messages TUESDAY, August 6, 2019. (Though, we’ll be back in time to meet one of our winter couples in the evening Monday August 5th!) A huge THANK YOU for all of your comments and […]

I’m so excited to finally be blogging Maranda and Shaun’s wedding at Red Barn Studios! If you’ve been following this wedding season you’d know Maranda was the second shooter at mine and Clynn’s wedding! She was just in highschool and took some of our absolute favorite images from our wedding day. When I saw her […]

I figured this morning would be a great time to type out our Sheep Lake camping post while my sleep cycle is still being effected by our trip. Out here, there is no structured time. A made up universally accepted number that tells us what we should do when. When Clynn and I go out […]

Up to this point in my company I’ve declared the “24 hour response” policy. I always aim to respond to everyone’s messages within 24 hours. It doesn’t happen EVERY time, but I dang sure make the effort! I’ve always said I would do my best to respond within 24 hours, unless I’m on vacation! In […]

PART FIVE Nisqually Wildlife Spring Mini Sessions! I can’t believe I still have Spring Mini Sessions to back blog! Spring Minis were taken in April & May and delivered in time for Mother’s Day! They were taken at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge and all came out so wonderfully. The Ardon family had a rough start. When […]
