A huge congratulations to Leah & Brandon! They had the most beautiful Snohomish wedding. Their day was filled with sunshine, lots of laughter, happy tears and so much love from all of their favorite people.

It was so sweet getting to witness their deep connection and the appreciation they have for one another. I can’t wait to follow the adventures you two go on together. ❤️

My books are officially closed for the year! 🥹✨

I’m so excited for everything already on my calendar, but I’m officially not taking on any more sessions outside of my annual minis.

I’m feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who has trusted me, shared my work, referred a friend or supported my little business this year. Truly, thank you!

These two flew in from Colorado to get married surrounded by flowers and family in mom and dad’s backyard. The goal was to keep things simple, make sure the grandparents could be there, and have a low pressure timeline that left plenty of room for the moments that naturally unfold.

Every single one of us cried. Including me, four different times. They did a ring warming and when they got to grandpa he paused and held them to his heart. This day was intimate, emotional and beautiful in so many ways.

It still amazes me that I can arrive at the beginning of a day surrounded by strangers and leave wanting to hug every one of them goodbye.

E + C, your day was so full of love, and I’m so grateful I grateful I got to be there to capture it. ❤️

Sneak peek of the most beautiful day! This backyard wedding was absolutely stunning. Highlights included the brides dad walking her to meet the groom so they could walk together the rest of the way down the aisle together, everyone dancing with pictures of their precious kitties, dinosaurs sculptures dressed up as a bride and groom, vibrant florals sourced from a flower farm down the street, Lord Farquaad doing the worm on the dance floor and the biggest smiles all day long from everyone. Congratulations Q+J! ❤️

I’ve been anticipating this proposal for months. Watching these plans come to life and seeing all the consideration that went into making this as perfect as possible for her was so incredibly special. These two are headed back to Texas officially engaged! Congratulations A+L, it was so amazing to finally meet you two while exploring one of my all time favorite places together. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and adventure. ❤️

A huge congratulations to all the UW graduates! I did Kyra’s high school senior photos so it was extra special to take her college graduation photos. This year marks a decade since I graduated UW, time sure flies by. Wishing you all the best for this next chapter. 💜

In March of 2022, we did engagement photos at this location. How special to come back in March again 4 years later to capture them with the sweetest blue eyed girl. Watching past couples become parents is truly one of my favorite aspects of this job. Congratulations to this beautiful trio. ❤️

It been a while since I’ve done a senior Sunday. This gorgeous senior and I scored the perfect day. We had the park to ourselves and soft beautiful light. It is always nice to have an outfit change so you can have two looks and she looked stunning in both. It is always an honor to capture this special time. I am wishing her an amazing year!
