Happy Birthday to my sister šŸ¤

I could post hundreds of photos, but loved these ones so much!! Thank you for always being my built-in model, my creative guinea pig, and the one who says ā€œlet’s try itā€ even when my ideas are a little wild. You are such a huge part of the heart behind what I create.

But even more than that, thank you for your constant support in life. The phone calls, the encouragement, the honesty, the laughter… all of it. I am so incredibly blessed to have you as my sister and I love you more than you know.

Here’s to another year of big dreams, creative shoots, and making memories together on all the exciting things ahead!

You guysss šŸ¤ I have been SO wrapped up in weddings lately and I am just over the moon about it.

This year is already shaping up to be such an incredible wedding season and I truly could not be more excited for my couples. My calendar is filling up fast, which makes my heart so happy.

As far as Saturday wedding availability, here’s what I have left:
• April 4th
• May 2nd or 23rd
• August 15th
• September 26th
• October 17th

I do have more weekday and Sunday wedding availability, just message me to ask!

And of course, winter weddings are always lovely too! Moody light, cozy details, snow-dusted mountains… I am absolutely here for it.

If you’ve been thinking about booking your wedding, please message me soon so we can secure your date before it’s gone.

And it’s not just weddings over here!! I am actively booking:
• Family sessions
• Senior sessions (never too early to start planning!)
• Engagement sessions
• Maternity sessions
• Equine sessions

My horse people, once shedding season is behind us and those summer coats come in, those equine sessions fill up fast. Even if you’re thinking late spring or summer, it’s best to get on the calendar now so you can snag your preferred date and time.

Spring and summer in Kittitas County are unmatched. Golden light, green hills, wildflowers, lake evenings… it’s going to be such a fun season and I CANNOT wait.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to book, this is it šŸ¤ Send me a message and let’s start planning.

Coffee in hand, building my new desk tonight šŸ¤

Is it fancy? Nope.
Is it some designer, solid-wood masterpiece? Also nope.
It’s a simple Amazon desk that’ll get the job done. Because sometimes you just build what you need and keep moving forward.

While I was putting it together, I couldn’t help but think about how I grew up building things with my dad. Garden beds. Random projects. He got me my first set of tools! My first skill saw, socket set, drill, you name it! And with that, I was officially sorted into the Ryobi house šŸ’š Not because I’m out here building houses, but because they’re solid, reliable, and perfect for what I do.

Those tools have helped me build furniture, fix fences, tweak barn setups, hang backdrops, adjust things on the fly at shoots… and honestly, they’ve built a lot more than just projects. Although most the tools I’m using tonight are just allen wrenches and screw drivers, there’s a few things he taught me that hit different tonight:

• Don’t screw everything down before it’s lined up.
If you tighten one corner too soon, the whole thing shifts. Same in life. Don’t lock yourself into something before you’ve stepped back and made sure it fits. Alignment matters.

• Double check the instructions.
Not because you can’t figure it out, but because there’s no shame in confirming you’re on the right track. Ask questions. Use your resources. Reach out. Clarity saves time.

• Don’t skip steps.
You might get away with it for a minute, but you’ll usually pay for it later. Do it right the first time. Sand it a little more. Measure twice. Build the foundation properly.

• And always give yourself enough caffeine.
Non-negotiable.

Building this little desk isn’t the most glamorous thing, but it’s another piece of the dream. Another surface where galleries get edited, emails get answered, and memories get delivered.

From garden beds with my dad to editing weddings at my own desk… that all feels pretty special to me šŸ¤

The little details always deserve their moment!

Yes, I’m here for the epic, moody, woodsy portraits… but the detail shots? Those matter just as much.

The ring.
The way their hands fit together.
And in this case… the BOOTS.

They had their wedding date branded into their boots and as a Western gal myself, I thought that was the coolest, most intentional touch. It’s those personal pieces that tell the FULL story.

When I photograph an engagement session, I’m not just capturing faces. I’m documenting the pieces that mean something. The heirlooms. The textures. The personality. The things you’ll look back on years from now and smile about šŸ¤

Don’t skip the details. They’re part of the legacy ✨

You would never know we were literally pulled off on the side of the road for these. That’s one of my favorite things about this area! If you know, you know. And growing up spending so much of my childhood out here, I definitely know some of the good spots.

This session felt extra special for me. Not just because of the woodsy, romantic, PNW vibe (which I am always here for), but because this sweet couple happens to be family. It is never lost on me what an honor it is when my own people trust me to capture moments like this.

Moody skies. Tall trees. That quiet North Bend magic (yes folks I travel!) Just a few favorites from this beautiful engagement session šŸ¤

Engagement session incoming 🄰

This one feels like the official kickoff to engagement and wedding season, and I could not be more excited about everything I have lined up this year. There is just something about this time of year that feels full of momentum and fresh beginnings šŸ¤šŸ¤

Here’s a tiny sneak peek while I keep working behind the scenes. I have a feeling 2026 wedding season is going to be such a beautiful one. šŸ¤

Valentine’s Day brunch done RIGHT ā¤ļø

We went to the Valentine’s Day special this morning at Mineral Springs Resort – The Raven & Rooster and oh my goodness… it was phenomenal.

Everything was cooked to perfection. The kind of meal where you’re quiet for a second because you’re too busy appreciating the bite you just took.

Not pictured (and honestly I’m upset at myself for this) were the biscuits and gravy made with their homemade brisket. Freaking amazing.

And the red velvet waffles?! To die for. The cream cheese icing was the perfect amount of sweet without being overwhelming, and the portions were epic in the best way.

Such a fun, festive way to celebrate Valentine’s Day locally. We’re so lucky to have spots like this in our little mountain town.

10/10 recommend. Just trust me… you won’t be disappointed!! šŸ˜

This set deserves its own moment, because Brielle absolutely knocked it out of the park again. Beautiful, fun, perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day and they always hold up through farm life!

I see her every couple of weeks, and I’m a big believer in this: when I find a vendor I love, I stick with them. Brielle is phenomenal at what she does, and I’m so grateful to have people like her in my circle.

Everyone has their ā€œthingā€ that helps them feel a little more put together, especially when life involves mud, animals, and a whole lot of chaos. Fresh nails and a good cup of coffee just happen to be mine. Cheers to taking care of yourself in the ways that make sense for you ā˜•ļøšŸ’…šŸ¼

What do you get when you book me as your wedding photographer?
More than just someone who shows up with a camera. My heart is in every part of your day, before, during, and after.

• Pre-wedding consultations to walk through your vision, timeline, must-have shots, and what matters most to you
• An engagement session included, so we can get comfortable together and you feel confident in front of the camera on your wedding day
• Calm energy + gentle guidance. I’m there fixing hair, straightening ties, fluffing dresses, calming nerves, and cheering you on
• Prompts and poses that feel natural, plus space for the real, emotional, in-between moments
• Story-driven photos that don’t feel like everyone else’s, because your love story is unique

My goal isn’t just pretty photos. It’s to make you feel cared for, relaxed, and celebrated, while delivering images that truly feel like your day.

Budget-friendly + flexible
I believe everyone deserves beautiful photos on their big day. My pricing is listed on my website, with my highest package at $2,250, but if that’s not in your budget, please still message me. I’m always willing to talk through options, whether that’s adjusting coverage time or image count to make something work.

Local + experienced
I’m Cle Elum local but travel all over. I’m very familiar with The Cattle Barn, McIntosh Ranch, and Silver Ridge Ranch venues and I’m always happy to share preferred vendors (from caterers to make up artists) if you’re still building your team.

If you’re planning your wedding and want a photographer who brings calm energy, intention, and heart to your day, I would be honored to capture it.

Message me with your date or any questions. I’d love to talk with you ✨
