This sweet family told me that they had just bought a turquoise camping trailer and asked if I would do a session for them with it. My response was basically OMG YES!! So one beautiful sunny September day I met them at a campground along the Stillaguamish river and we had a magical time running […]
Before there was Eloise there was this moment of waiting. The end of pregnancy is a pause. It is the in between. The before. It is a wonderful moment of patience spent knowing that you are soon meeting the little being that will change your life forever. It is a profound time, certainly one worth […]
One is brunette, the other is blonde. They are the sweetest pair, a set of girls bound by sisterhood. They will always have each other to laugh with, to cry with, to make memories with and that is pure magic. I am obsessed with photographing relationships. The love that binds a family together is unlike […]
Sweet little Eloise has blue eyes that seem to hold oceans within them and the softest brown hair. She looked at me with so much expression when I met her. She smiles. She gurgles. She looks straight into my lens with curiosity. I photographed Eloise in her first home; the one she will look back […]
So many of my clients tell me that their all-time favorite part of the whole experience with me is the Premier. The Premier takes place around 2 weeks after the session. It starts off with a slideshow of all the images set to music. I project the slideshow onto the wall so it feels like […]
I read a quote by a photographer once that said something along the lines of “I don’t want to photograph strangers.” This is so true for me. I like to meet new people but I like it even more when the new people aren’t new anymore. The magic for me is when I get to […]
If I had to pick one subject to photograph for the rest of my life it would hands down be mothers and their children. There is just nothing in this world that moves my soul more then motherhood. My own mom is my best friend. I talk to her on the phone multiple times a […]
I am often struck by how the concept of time seems to elude me. It either passes by way too fast and leaves me in a whirlwind or inches along so slowly I can never believe that it is actually ticking by at all. I photographed this family a few years ago when I first […]
One of the most wonderful things about photographs are their ability to tell the most spellbinding stories. As I edited each image for this sweet family I was reminded of all the wonderful little moments that had occurred at their session. Alina is from Germany, JP from South Africa and their little boy Jacob is […]
All this sweet mama wanted for her session was a little bit of sunshine. When we all got to Discovery park the sky was a decided gray. An unwavering blanket of clouds. The forecast had promised sun…I had checked it everyday all week. We soldiered on, not entirely surprised that Seattle’s weather was unpredictable in […]
