Several years ago, I found myself navigating the joys and challenges of single parenthood, with one particular Christmas tradition proving to be a bit more challenging than anticipated. My daughter, brimming with excitement at the prospect of meeting Santa, would inevitably dissolve into tears the moment she came face-to-face with the jolly man in red….
Writing about The Motherhood Project is probably the hardest post I’ve ever had to write. Not because it’s bad news, but because it’s an extremely vulnerable post and I’m passionate about why I do this. Pouring my heart and soul into photography for the past 20 years, creating this 14-year-old business and freezing your most…
March mini sessions were an absolute blast! We were over the moon to see everyone and share in loads of laughter. One of the highlights was having Ashley and her boys swing by for some delightful spring photos. I love that you don’t need to bring out a bunch of props during mini sessions and…
Venturing beyond my comfort zone always brings a thrill. For years, my focus has been on capturing the magic of weddings with a sprinkle of portraiture on the side. Yet, there’s something uniquely delightful when family members turn to me for photography favors. Their requests always come with a hint of reluctance, as if they…
It’s always a blessing for me when clients return, even if there are years between their sessions. It’s like receiving a warm embrace from an old friend, a testament to the connections we’ve formed and the memories we’ve shared.

One of our favorite things is getting to see clients come back time and time again. We get the joy of watching families grow and flourish, bringing little ones back year after year for Santa sessions. Little Gus decided to arrive early, making his appearance just after our yearly Santa sessions, but before Christmas last…
Here in Washington, the busiest parts of the Wedding Season are May through October. That doesn’t mean us wedding photographers slow down much during the other months. Instead, we tend to book engagements, family sessions and even boudoir (Markie, not Jake) during the “slow” months. While many of the tips we give for engagements also…
Just over twelve years ago, I was faced with a challenge. You may remember I was laid off at 28 weeks pregnant with Emi. That was the time I decided to really make a run at starting my own business. As you can see, we’re still running it and celebrated Emi’s 12th birthday with a…
Time sure flies when you’re having fun. Also when you’re juggling four small(ish) humans, homeschooling and running a business… Time sure seems to just leave when you need it most. I’m still in shock it’s already been a year with Zeke, and I was thrilled to have his Wilderness Cake Smash at Farms & Fairytales!…
