This summer I had the absolute pleasure of photographing one of my favorite humans and her adorable family!

My favorite thing about rambunctious kiddos is how they shape the joy of the session. And these two have a full range of one of the coolest spots in the county and they know it! Their playfulness and goober faces were just the best.

Thank you Kristen for trusting me with your family's joy, love, and goofiness. It was so much fun to capture!

Watson, family of 4! Looking completely and perfectly adorable in their smokey summer session.

I've been working with Angela and Brian since their very first Maternity shoot! And it's my honor to keep capturing them as they grow their love and family. Thank you for continuing to trust me with your memories. 💛

This beautiful session with Tony and Aissa was set against the Salish Sea and filled with bubbles, bumble bees, and baby bumps. 🐝💛

Had such a good impromptu shoot with Kaylie Morgan this week! I've stopped shooting due to morale issues but am trying to ease back into it.

This session helped a lot and I can't WAIT to have Kaylie walk in the Upcycled Runway Show for me this August 17th at 6pm as part of the Noisy Waters Mural Festival. She came to town for a fitting, so we teamed up for a moody beach session to finish the day. 💛

Meeting people where they're at and holding them tight. Are you considering a trash the dress or divorce shoot? It's a lot of emotions but I highly recommend them. 💛

As the product of divorce and a divorcee myself, the concept of creating art out of the confusion, pain, and joy that comes with regaining your freedom through heartbreak was a chance I couldn't pass up. I was trying to figure out how to do it for myself while also being the photographer.

Miriam, Ryker, Eliza, & Baby. 💛

I've known these two since middle & high school and been witness to bits and pieces of their love over the years. They are so sweet with each other, so gentle and loving with Eliza, and building a beautiful life together.

Running around in the rain, nestled between the Salish Sea and Chuckanut Mountains, was the perfect way to capture this chapter of their story. 🌊

The game can't be fair when hearts are on the line. 🖤🥀

First concept shoot of 2023 was a gorey one. ⚰️

Also: taking fake blood commissions cuz I feel like I killed it. 😅
