This right here is everything. We are so so excited for Ethan and Jeanette, and we can’t believe how lucky we are to become grandparents soon!
Life sure is a wild and wonderful ride! I can’t wait for this next part of the adventure.
There are so many things I’m looking forward to doing with the little one, but most of all I just can’t wait to show her how very loved she is. My heart is bursting! ❤️❤️😭😭❤️❤️

Hi! I don’t use this platform very often these days but I felt like sharing a few from a beautiful wedding I photographed earlier this week.
I’d been hoping for a wedding at .place (formerly the Kingston House) so when A & C reached out I was elated! It did not disappoint. Such a gorgeous venue, such great vendors and the sweetest couple ❤️. I love my job.

Venue: .place

This is the first time I’ve felt inspired to share on this app in a very long time.
Sophia traveled here with her dad for some “PNW looking” senior photos.
I didn’t want this shoot to end. It was freezing cold and soooo windy, but looking through my lens at this stunning human had me remembering exactly why I love this job.
I’m looking forward to many more inspiring shoots in the coming year. My calendar is filling up fast, and I’m so incredibly grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you for trusting me.
You are all beautiful pieces of art in my eyes.

I haven't posted in forever. If I'm being honest, I can't really handle FB these days. So much ugliness.
I've been looking for some beauty in 2020 and I think I found it. On a rooftop in Seattle. So I wanted to share it with all of you, because I'm assuming I'm not the only one in need of something beautiful.
When Nathan booked a senior shoot, and I learned that he's a dancer, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!
It was wonderful.

I really really want it to be spring now. With beautiful colors, and trees blooming.
Anyone else feel this way?!?!?

I posted this to Instagram, but it's really important to me, so I'm posting it here too....

I want to talk about wedding photography for a minute.
When you choose me to document your wedding day I want you to know that I am there for you. I will do everything I can to support and honor you. I know that you have put your trust in me, and I don’t take that lightly.
I will always go the extra mile, and I will always respect your wishes.
When Lynn and Ron told me (at the last minute) that they wanted to say their vows by candlelight I knew it would be a challenge to photograph. The ceremony was inside, in a small space, at 4:00pm on a winter day when the sun would set at 4:25. (They decided to turn on a small lamp so they could see the vows they had written down but other than that there was very little light)
I had a moment of panic, but then I took a deep breath and said to myself “it’s not about you, it’s always about them, and don’t you forget that.”
So, when they looked at me and asked if it was ok, I said “of course it is, whatever you want, I’ve got you.”
Social media is a strange thing. It can trick us into thinking that our main objective is to get likes and followers. That somehow we aren’t enough if we don’t get a feature or a “share”. That is not my focus, and it never will be. You are. My clients = my friends.
As I head into 2020 excited about the weddings I’ve already booked, and the ones I’m doing this 🤞🏻for, I am more focused and more determined to be the very best I can be. As a person, photographer, friend, mother, wife, ally...all of it. ❤️

Need a last minute gift? MJ Photography has gift certificates!
(I've had several inquiries for these over the past few days so I'm realizing I probably should have mentioned this sooner, ha! )
