Last night's time behind the camera made me happy...and for so many reasons. First off, it's beginning to feel like summer here on Whidbey. I know, I know....we're just hitting spring now, but last night the sun was out, the breeze was just right, and the air was just cool enough to enjoy the warmth of a bonfire. Being surrounded by the beauty of the PNW is therapeutic enough by itself, but paired with a day like yesterday....ahh, heaven.
Read MoreThere are 3 top reasons I love being a photographer. 1) Telling stories through images, 2) meeting awesome new people, and 3) exploring different places that I probably wouldn't discover on my own. Ysabel & Brett's engagement shoot was no exception!
Read MoreI feel like Deception Pass State Park is the epitome of PNW livin'. Beautiful, rugged and amazing. Saturday started off as a dreary day, but as we approached sunset, Mother Nature sure brought her A-Game for Ashley and André's engagement session!
Read MoreThis island...seriously. Been here 8 months now and I still can't get over it. On the same afternoon, I get to go from forest, to beaches, to fields with mountains in the distance....what?! So when Claire said that she and her husband-to-be wanted to do engagement photos at Fort Ebey, (one of my favorite spots!) I knew it was going to be a good day!
Read MorePeople kept saying it was going to snow all week, and I kind of wrote it off with a "sure, we'll get a tiny dusting that will melt by 10:00 am, no biggie..." attitude. So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to a beautiful winter scene instead of the dirty slush that I had predicted.

Read MoreOk, I loved this session so much. I first met Katie when I photographed her wife's Navy homecoming in the fall. It was such a special moment when Kate got off the plane and finally was reunited with her wife. Fast forward a few months, as these two are getting ready to say goodbye to Oak Harbor for their next station across the country.
Read MoreGuys, it's a small, small world. We moved to Whidbey Island from Oklahoma this past summer, and part of the "settling in" process has been finding great people to help out with our twins while Kristopher is away and I have a session or other obligation. And I'm gonna be honest...finding someone you trust with your kiddos is no easy thing!
Read MoreI thought I loved a Whidbey Island sunset...until I got up early enough to photograph a Whidbey Island sunrise! Holy moly! I first met Liz when I shot some bridal stylized portraits for her back in the fall. She's was so fun to work with, so I was really looking forward to meeting her husband and two pups for a family session.
