The world was already turned upside-down thanks to COVID-19. Two weeks ago, I never would have predicted that the second week of homeschooling would leave us learning Veterinary Medicine. But I’m forever thankful for that extra week at home with Zooey, our rescue who actually rescued us. Zooey and our “Accidental” rescue It was Super…
It’s impossible to open Facebook or Instagram (or probably any form of social media) right now without being hit in the face with whatever the latest COVID-19 numbers are or hearing about someone’s wedding being postponed/cancelled/delayed for an unknown amount of time. With businesses shuttering left and right, it’s time to bring light to the…
The wild world of wedding planning is like no other beast. From dozens of unlicensed or uninsured vendors that pop up daily, to those who appear to be legally operating but suddenly disappear off the face of the planet, couples are being urged more and more to research your vendors. Every day I see posts…
In the recent months, several posts have gone up in the wedding groups asking for book recommendations. As an avid reader, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity for me to fill a pain point for couples. I love to read and it would be easy for me to post reviews to help others…
Wedding day details have quickly become some of my favorite things. I love this time of day where you’re getting ready with your favorite peeps, and I can head out to a secluded spot. This is my warm up time; it allows me to stretch my creative muscles and showcase your carefully curated details with…
50 by 50: a lofty goal but when I set out on my journey as a photographer, I never imagined it would take me more than a few miles from home. I honestly thought this was going to be a “part time gig” to maybe “make a few bucks” while my then-husband brought home a…
Rachel and Nik were my last engagement session of 2019 and yet, 2020 came in with a bang leaving me hanging on for dear life! I feel like I haven’t shared enough of these two lovebirds but getting to know them was a blast. I always love when couples jump at the chance to have their…
I don’t think anyone would be surprised to learn that Jake has a way of charming people. It’s one of those things that comes really naturally to him. He even used this talent to help us score a few photos at my favorite Sumner Coffee House after our wedding in 2018. Of course, this was…
It’s impossible to open any social media platform without seeing all the news surrounding the current coronavirus outbreak. So it’s no surprise that couples everywhere are concerned about how this will affect wedding day plans. As a photographer, I can’t help ease minds regarding the virus, but I can reassure you regarding your wedding day….
This Franklin Falls Engagement is the last thing I photographed before the shutdown of 2020. I’ve been known to shoot in all weather conditions: rain, snow, sleet, hail. However, when there are avalanche warnings and we’re hiking 7 miles in the snow; yeah, that’s even a “no” from me. Having to postpone Sarah and Cody’s…
Almost anything can become an adventure, and this engagement session was no different! It was really a test in skill when it comes to location searching online. Lol! I met Taylor and Dustin at the Seattle Wedding Show where they were searching for those last few perfect vendors. When they rolled up pushing their two…
Some years are just simply crazier than others. For me, 2019 was a whirlwind of possibilities… hard choices, family fun and a wild wedding season to boot! But even as we finished out the year exhausted from the insanity 2019 brought, and simply glad to have survived it; looking back, I wouldn’t change it for…
