This was (at least) my second time taking Tacoma Rose Garden Seniors at Point Defiance Park! A few years ago I photographed senior photos for Emma’s older sister! I am always so delighted to hear back from the same family for photos. It’s the ultimate compliment as a photographer. For some reason, this year has […]

I’m so happy Emily & her mom Ann invited me to document Emily’s senior photos at Nolte State Park! This was my first-time doing portraits at this location and it will definitely be added to The Studio Portrait locations recommendations list! Emily is just getting started on her Senior year! I loved hearing about her […]

I get so excited every time I book a wedding at Cabin Creek Lodge. This large but intimate venue is nestled back in the mountains of Easton, Washington. It’s completely hands off by the owners and requires a two night minimum booking. My clients typically arrive with their friends and family to set up the […]

Sarah and Michael’s family hosted a cozy, close friends and family, Private Estate Wedding in Ronald, Washington! When I arrived, it had begun to rain. Luckily, the family was prepared with a covered event tent just in case. The rain hung around through the ceremony (with a little thunder, too!) and couple’s photos. Then, cleared […]

Written July 2022 To all the LGBTQ people who fell in love with their best friend on accident. I see you. This was mine. I hope you find healing, too. To the girl I loved first, I’m 31 now. I think you turned 30 last month. I’ll bet you celebrated in a beautiful way. I […]

There was so much delicious food and hours of dancing! Jim had commissioned a dance to propose to Della. At the reception, he taught […]
