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 […]

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 […]

Oh I’m still pinching myself over this one! Laura and Bobby flew out to the Pacific Northwest for an Olympic National Park engagement session, and we chose Lake Crescent and Second Beach at La Push for the locations. There’s nothing else like the way the waves crash agains the seastacks, layers of pale fog obscuring […]

There aren’t words that can accurately convey the majesty and drama of standing next to a thundering waterfall. The falling water sends off a light spray that scents the air and the roaring sound surrounds you and fills your ears. I had the honor of hiking the Franklin Falls trail with Lauren and Gavin to […]

Even after years of having a spouse in classes at the University of Washington, through undergrad and now graduate courses, I still managed to forget just how beautiful the UW campus can be. Especially on a balmy summer evening! Of course UW is famous for its cherry blossoms, Red Square, and Suzzalo Library, but there are […]

Brianne & Samuel laughed their way through their engagement session at Renton’s Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. I loved capturing their joy and affection with each other! As Disneyland plays a large part in their love story, they chose to incorporate the famous mouse ears into their photos, and I absolutely loved that Star Wars tee-shirts […]

The late afternoon sun winked in and out of the clouds during Michelle and Bradley’s romantic Alki Beach engagement session, providing the perfect mix of diffused and golden light. Just south and west of downtown Seattle, Alki feels like a little beach town with a laid-back vibe, cafes and restaurants, and gorgeous panoramic views of […]

Oh, I don’t even have the words for this one. These images are some of the best I’ve ever taken! My little heart is just bursting with happiness over the scenery and the colors, not to mention the most lovely light a Seattle spring evening could afford—and I loved getting to work with Julie and […]

This Olympic National Park engagement session in late spring was an enchanted forest romance! May is one of the most beautiful months of year in the Pacific Northwest, (although I would argue that every time of year is a beautiful time for an engagement session in the PNW!). Shamber and Brian were such a fun […]
