It’s that time of year again! Twice a year I open SJP’s books for mini sessions! Once near Thanksgiving and once near Mother’s Day. I dreamt of a day these sessions would fill with previous clients I could continue to support as they’ve supported me before I ever made an announcement and that day is […]

Clynn and I LOVE making the trip for Lake Cushman Engagement Photos. The scenery is beautiful. Taking the time to drive out makes engagement portraits that much more special. I love when couples pause wedding planning and day-to-day chaos to make a memory with their engagement portraits. Jordain and Andy drove several hours to reach […]

I was so excited to meet up with Elizabeth and Robert for their summer engagement portraits at Point Defiance in Tacoma! They are planning a winter New Year wedding. Robert is an employee of one of my previous grooms, Gary! They are family friends and I love when my couples and I have a mutual […]

This was my third round of engagement portraits at Discovery Park and it never fails to disappoint! I hope you all cozy into this location for 2018 because I’m pretty obsessed! When Piper and Josh booked me for their wedding they were nowhere to be seen! Piper messaged me from Arizona letting me know she’d […]

Discovery Park may just be my new favorite place for Engagement photos! Ever since I launched SJP, September weddings have been just as common as June, July, and August! Maybe even more-so than June or August! I booked out my September quiet some time ago and was so excited when Jennica & Greg grabbed the […]

I am so excited to be doing more shoots as a Lake Cushman Photographer this year! This location is jaw dropping, cleansing, awe inspiring. I will love shooting here forever! Sincerely, The Seasons consists of beginner-intermediate photographers coming together at various locations in Washington State approximately one month before the turn of a new season. […]

Betty and Sam made their way to my Spring Mini session day at Wild Hearts Farm for their engagement portraits! We had reserved the truck for the day but were lucky enough to have the pond, swing, and trailer scenes available to us as well! Every time I shoot at this location it looks different […]

Allow me to elaborate on my position as a Tacoma Washington (and surrounding area) Mini Sessions Photographer. Good morning blogger-family! ♥ I am hopping in the blog today to talk a little about how SJP is building “Mini Sessions” to be more and a little different than what you’re probably used to seeing sponsored around […]

This is both an example of my current bridal editing style, a recommendation for dressing up an engagement session, or dressing down your bridal attire to something a little more whimsical or unexpected. This session, it was me pursuing creativity. At a time when SJP was WAY too busy, and only falling deeper; I packed […]

Before even seeing my sample galleries, Tess & Cameron were pretty certain they wanted their Olympia Engagement Photos at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge! I first met Tess, Cameron, and baby Isolde at the 222 Market in Olympia, Washington. There’s this adorable Cafè known as “The Bread Peddler” inside that I LOVE meeting my potential couples in […]
