Jenny + Albert were the first of TWO weddings we’d have this year at The Barn at Wilson Farm. (Have I mentioned yet about the large number of “bucket list” venues we knocked out this year? It’s most of them.) I was so excited after their engagement session, but the day of I suddenly got…
Stephanie + Howard’s Wedding at the Realm was truly a gift this year for us. We got the joy of working with some of the most amazing vendors at an incredible venue so close to home. Stephanie + Howard were such a joy to work with. You can tell by looking at them they’d found…
We’ve been blessed getting to watch Dawn + Jaime’s love blossom over the past several years. When Dawn and I (Markie) met professionally, I was already divorced, and she was just starting on that path. We teamed up to bring confidence to women and found a wonderful friendship in the process. Watching Dawn + Jaime…
This year, Jake and I decided to branch out a little bit in our marketing after the past few years where in person shows were not allowed. While I’ve been hesitant to attend some of these shows, it’s been a fun experience this year. It was our second year participating in the Snohomish Wedding Tour….
Being homeschool parents brings a unique aspect to each of our client interactions. It’s a hard thing for me to sometimes “turn off” the homeschool mom in me, so you’ll likely find me spouting some random educational fact. Or you’ll find Jake teaching someone the art of finding four leaf clovers. Megan + Ben probably…
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…
Stephanie + Howard are amazing clients, whom we met through our Saturn Barter Membership. We were blessed to join them for their engagement session back down on the Tacoma Waterfront. We met next to the sundial at Jack Hyde Park (aka. Commencement Park) and chatted a bit before we started. Stephanie had the fun idea…
A Historic and Heartfelt Kiana Lodge Wedding | Taylor + Dallas When I got the call from Julie at Sound and Sea Photography asking me to second shoot for her at Taylor and Dallas’ wedding, I couldn’t have been more excited. Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington, was the perfect backdrop for this beautiful couple, and…
The Olympia Engagement Session that Almost Didn’t Happen! Would you believe me if I told you this Olympia engagement session nearly didn’t happen? Picture this: You meet someone online, chat for a few weeks, and finally decide to meet in person. You pick a time and place, get ready, show up—and then… crickets. No date…
The overwhelming joy of getting to photograph friends weddings is unmeasurable. This year I was able to photograph the wedding of not one childhood friend, but TWO! Devon is the daughter of my across the street neighbor, and one of the neighborhood kids I grew up with. We’ve been connected for as long as I…
Early this spring, we had a booth for the Barn at Wilson Farm open house. I had a session that day, but Jake was able to stay and meet some new friends. Jenny and Albert were one of the couples he met that day and they loved him. We were so excited when they chose…
It’s that time of year again, and we’re over halfway to Christmas! (Don’t judge me, my Halloween loving friends… We’re still celebrating that too.) This year, I’m finally ahead of the game and posting Santa Session bookings early. Santa Sessions in 2023 The past few years we’ve always done our sessions outside at a lovely…
