On a cool, rainy, perfectly Pacific Northwest day, my sweet friend Stephanie and her hubby Phil joined me at Salt Creek State Park just west of Port Angeles for a romantic couple’s session celebrating their second anniversary. Stephanie & Phil’s love story is quintessentially northwest — Steph is an avid fisherwoman and Phil is a […]

There’s something completely magical about seeing the familiar mountains and evergreen hills of Olympic National Park dusted with snow! While this winter was one for the record books, I’m so happy that I had the chance to capture these engagement images for Marie & Jason at one of my favorite spots on the shore of […]

Non-Traditional Wedding Parties  & Miss-Matchy Bridal Party Outfits As an Olympic National Park and Seattle wedding photographer, a trend I’ve been loving in the last couple years of weddings is having attendants of both genders mixed throughout the bridal party! In addition to bridesmaids, I’ve seen brides-men and men-of-honor, and grooms-maids in addition to groomsmen! […]

Last week I blogged the first part of Stephanie & Theo’s colorful Hall at Fauntleroy wedding in West Seattle. Now here’s the second portion, including the ceremony, reception, a boatload of colorful details, even more balloons, some epic dancing, and more light and color and joy than you can believe. Stephanie used the theme of […]

Okay, get ready! This is the Single Most Colorful Wedding I have ever photographed in almost ten years and over 200 weddings in the Pacific Northwest! This gorgeous West Seattle wedding at the Hall at Fauntleroy features a rainbow of the bride’s favorite shades, a custom dress from Anomalie, balloons galore, macaroons, rose gold sequins, […]

Spring in Seattle is often moody, prone to cool misty days and fitful sunbreaks as the days get increasingly lighter.

I got to take some sweet portraits with the adorable Tiffany & Brett at Barnes Point on Lake Crescent — In my humble opinion, late summer is it’s own season in the PNW—it feels like the transition to fall is drawn out slowly, summer warmth lingering while the leaves are just starting to hint at […]

We ventured to Barnes Point at Lake Crescent and Salt Creek State Park for some relaxed portraits of Emily to celebrate this season in her life! I couldn’t help but think about what I felt like at that time in my own life (it wasn’t that long ago, geez!) and what I would want to […]

A couple weeks ago, I met up with my friend Abigail and her new fiance Mike for an engagement session at a Northwest Washington beach I’ve been visiting since around the time I could barely walk! Turns out this particular spot is a favorite of Mike’s, who only moved to the Olympic Peninsula within the […]

There are so many sessions I’m hoping to blog from the incredible year that was 2017. Any time I have the honor of photographing a wedding, I’m truly thinking about pinching myself. I’m always so humbled and amazed that this is the job I get to do– to come alongside incredible people and create a […]
