It finally happened. For the first time in my 12 year career as a wedding photographer, I woke up to find I would not be able to make it to a wedding. Thanks to my amazing team (and a last minute fill in) Rachael + Mario’s Summer Five2Five Wedding day didn’t miss a single beat…
Ya’ll know I love a good weekday wedding. They just feel more liesurely than those weekend weddings. Maybe it’s the shorter timelines or the lack of traffic, but they just have a different air to them. This Ol’ Hitching Post wedding proved weekday weddings are the way to go. Emily + Daniel’s Love story Emily…
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!…
When you’re planning your wedding, it’s incredibly common to consider eloping. In over 10 years of photographing (and 15 years of either planning or helping friends plan) weddings, I cannot think of one wedding where someone didn’t throw up their hands and say “Screw it! Let’s just elope!” But the FOMO of a big reception…
This Ft Steilacoom engagement post is long overdue! I photographed Amanda + Mitchell’s engagement late last summer, and really loved getting to meet them. I fell behind in blogging with Zeke being so young (new mom brain fog ya’ll). Lucky for me, Amanda was a new mama as well and understood! I feel like I’ve…
You might be wondering if I have two clients this year with the same name. I assure you I don’t. This is actually part two of Emily + Daniel’s engagement blog because we really wanted that Mt Rainier View… Engagement Session Take Two In my last post, we chatted about the rainy PNW engagement session…
Mount Rainier is a common request for PNW engagement sessions. But living like the mountain is out on a daily basis is hit or miss. The majestic mountain is a fickle friend, and sometimes just plain refuses to work with us. Emily + Daniel’s rainy PNW engagement session was one of those times where Rainier…
Just a few miles from my home, is a beautiful community with views of Mount Rainier. Of course, in true Washington fashion the mountain decided to hide for this Tehaleh engagement session. Lucky for me, Jessica + Jonathan were game to make the session work despite the weather. Tehaleh Engagement in the trees I wasn’t…
It’s an understatement when I say this Spring Lord Hill Farms Wedding blew me away. Brianna + Brennan made sure no detail was overlooked with their cultural fusion spring fling. Capturing their ceremony and reception was truly a magical way to start this year’s wedding season. Spring at Lord Hill Farms Lord Hill Farms had…
Brennan and Brianna’s engagement session was all the way up at Gold Creek pond. This is one of my favorite areas to come to, for adventure sessions, just because I like the slower pace of the hike. You can walk all the way out and around the pond finding some really beautiful backdrops for photos….
The song may not go, “over the Narrows and through the woods” but I can guarantee that route will take you to the prettiest venue on the peninsula. Sunflower Farms Venue the newest in rustic chic locations you’ll find here in the PNW. Jake and I had the incredible opportunity to attend a styled shoot…
