Friday morning I hit the road and drove down to Vancouver, Washington. I had butterflies in my stomach the whole way! My “baby” cousin Lucas had planned a surprise proposal to his lovely girlfriend Angela and I was invited to document the whole thing. Obviously, he’s no baby… but I’ll always be 4 1/2 years […]

There’s nothing better than a beautiful Pacific Northwest adventure and a brave couple to share it with! Ricky, Shailah and I spent an afternoon driving up to Hurricane Ridge outside of Port Angeles for a snowy engagement session in the mountains. I’m so glad that Shailah had her heart set on snow for their photos—I […]

I love the Olympic Peninsula in fall; the mists over the evergreen forests create such a sense of eerie mystery. Maria and Ryan joined me for a session along the banks of the Elwha River for their engagement photos. I was so excited that they decided to bring their sweet pups along for a few […]

I love the chance to work with couples who are so obviously in love with each other that they can’t hold it in. If they’re not holding hands, they’re sneaking in a quick hug, a sly kiss, or a sneaky cuddle. Erica and Riley are exactly like that! During our session at Discovery Park in Seattle, […]

Last fall, before the weather turned, I spent a golden afternoon with two people so obviously in love, it radiated from them like the sunlight.

I spent a beautiful, bright summer morning with JoAnna and Justin in the adorable little town of Kingston, WA. It’s just a short ferry ride from Edmonds over the sparkling Puget Sound. The town provided a perfect spot to explore and some gorgeous summer flowers and foliage. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot, […]

On a golden evening this summer I had the pleasure of photographing Betsy and Abel and their two adorable welsh corgis, Juno and Dallas. I can’t wait for their beach wedding in August!

There is nothing lovelier than photographing two people in love in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I return to Lake Crescent over and over, and every time is like coming home. The lake seems unchanging, yet no two visits are alike– bringing out different aspects of the shoreline, nuances of water and […]

For Emily and James: the cherry blossoms were the perfect setting to celebrate your engagement. Like the blossoms, your relationship is full of laughter, joy, hope, and grace.

I spent some time with this sweet couple a few weeks ago. Their love of the country and rural life was evident– just see the images of Andy and his beloved guitar and gun! But what was even more apparent was their love for one another and their excitement for their upcoming wedding. See you […]
