Kaylynn and Eric are two of those people; you know the ones whom you’re instantly family with when you meet them? Yeah, those ones. Of course, I knew before their Rose Garden engagement session that I’d feel this way with them. It just so happens they’re part of Nicole and Kevin’s crowd, which means they’re…
There’s been a lot of kismet in my life these last couple of years, and upon meeting Mckenzie and Dustin for their Sumner Main Street engagement, the vibe was no different! These two super adorable people stole my heart as we chatted about their upcoming wedding and all the things that go along with planning…
My oh my oh my… Can we all just take a great big collective deep breath for FINALLY getting to shoot engagements again? The pure insanity that was the last three months of COVID-19 forced this engagement session to be rescheduled what felt like four times (but was really only once!). Thankfully they scheduled their…
You can call it kismet, fate or a force of the universe. Sometimes the stars just align and we end up doing that one thing we really love no matter where we’re physically located at the time. This is one of those stories. It’s a story about that one time I crashed a wedding in…
In June, I was able to join forces with a few of my favorite models for this beautiful spring at Altimeter Cabin Wedding Shoot! I’d never been out to Altimeter Cabin before, but when Andrea contacted me and asked about planning a few styled shoots, I jumped at the opportunity to head out to Ashford….
Friends, what in the hell happened to 2020? I swear we were all just sitting around a few months ago talking about how amazing this year was going to be. Next thing you know, 2020 has adjusted it’s man-bun, passed off it’s craft beer and said “Watch this”. Locusts, Plague, Killer bees… yeah, we’re all…
The quote usually goes: “Time flies when you’re having fun”, but every mom (ok, parent) knows the true version of this is: “Time flies when you’re a mom (parent)”. Even though it’s been ten years, it feels like just yesterday I was bringing home my first daughter. Happy 10th Birthday Emillia, today is all about…
Scrolling through my website, you may have noticed the Nature First Proud Member badge in the footer. If you haven’t, feel free to scroll down and check it out… but be sure to come right back cause we’re talking about it today! Becoming a Nature First photographer was not a decision I came to lightly….
I’m pretty sure the best part of summer in Washington state is the ability to get outside and enjoy nature. My home state boasts some of the BEST spots for engagement sessions, and I’m itching to get outside to enjoy the trails. From beautiful beaches to incredible forests, Washington’s State Parks are sought after for…
With all the madness, a lot of couples are swapping their big wedding days for smaller intimate elopements and courthouse weddings. Elopements are a pretty blank slate, but are custom courthouse weddings even possible? Courthouse weddings seem to have gotten a bad rep over the years. Sometimes known as a “shotgun wedding” the courthouse poses…
I think one of the hardest things about planning a wedding is choosing your perfect wedding date. Every year you have 365 choices (or 366 if it’s a leap year like 2020!) and to be completely honest you really can’t go wrong with any of them. There are, however, a few things to keep in…
Living one day at a time? Me too, boo. When recovery and wedding planning go hand in hand, there are challenges and perks that other’s may not even consider! Sometimes it feels like we’re constantly failing other’s expectations, but we also have freedoms that others don’t have. (Like partying with mocktails and ensuring everyone drives…
