Get ready for a gorgeous Whidbey Island wedding! If you’re not familiar with Whidbey Island, it’s accessible by ferry at the south end and by bridge from the Washington State mainland at the north. Of course, any trip involving a ferry is a magical experience, in my mind! Whenever I’m headed to Whidbey, I choose […]

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 […]

This little girl is such a delightful bundle of love and a dash of attitude! I only do a couple of newborn sessions each year, so when my sweet friend and former bride Emily asked me to photograph her second baby, I was so excited! Okay, I *may* have strongly hinted that I would just be […]

Fields of pale waving wheat and a winding river, with a row of pale blue mountains in the distance set the stage for a handcrafted backyard farm wedding in northwest Washington’s Skagit Valley. Together with dear friends and family, Kate and Rob created a homespun celebration on a farm where they live just outside of […]

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 […]

It was a misty spring day at the Seattle LDS Temple in Bellevue, Washington when Brad and Krystal’s nearest and dearest gathered to greet the newlyweds and celebrate their wedding day. The Temple grounds provided a lovely northwest backdrop with evergreen trees and a secluded meditation garden that created an ideal spot for romantic portraits of the […]

It was such an honor to capture the Dameron family earlier this spring in the Washington Park Arboretum! The Arboretum is easily one of my very favorite spots in Seattle—with a few miles of trails to explore and a cascade of blooms throughout the seasons, it’s pretty easy to see why! If you know me, you’re […]

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 […]
