These two were so electric, narrowing down favorites was almost impossible. This radiating session down at Rosario Beach was such an amazing experience. From the way Omar looked at Cearra, the sun beams illuminating her hair, the dynamic background and the beautiful golden dress she wore, the whole shoot was just perfect.
Read Morehe connection between mother and daughter is such a fiercely strong and powerful thing. AJ reached out a few months ago to set up a session to surprise her mom with a portrait session. Willow is a photographer herself, and both of her daughters are artistic women, so it was such a wonderful experience to collaborate with a trio who brought so much creativity and beauty to the scene.
Read MoreWhidbey Island is gorgeous. It's rugged, dynamic and free. The turquoise waters envelope us, and snow capped mountains stand tall in the distance, even in summer. So when this darling family contacted me to ask about a session while visiting Washington from their home in California, I knew the scenery here would not disappoint. We met at Deception Pass and explored the coves, beaches and trails together. Their two daughters were the stars of the show, sharing huge smiles, giggles and laughter.
Read MoreEverything about this Whidbey Island wedding ceremony was magic. From Angie & Erik's first look deep in Fort Ebey's beautiful forest, to their I-Do's at the historic Crockett Farm in Coupeville, the whole day just transitioned from one memorable moment to the next. The couple exchanged private letters with each other before walking down the aisle and becoming husband and wife. Guests drank signature cocktails and played lawn games before creating custom hamburgers catered by Front Street Grill.
Read MoreRyann and Jeremy were probably one of the most relaxed couples I've had the pleasure to photograph over the years. Every interaction between them was just so effortless and joyful. Their connection was so genuine and they'd just be giddy whenever they looked at each other. They were married at Nature's Connection Place in Arlington outside in a beautiful garden. Guests enjoyed stone fired pizzas and a Baskin Robbins ice cream bar as they danced the night away! Many hugs to the new Mr. and Mrs. It was a delight!
Read MoreMount Baker was standing proud in the background on the most stunning afternoon when Julie and David were married in Anacortes. With a first look at Cap Sante overlooking their ceremony site at Seafarers' Memorial Park, the couple shared an intimate moment before joining their families and becoming husband and wife. Not only did they exchange vows and rings, but they serenaded each other under during the ceremony to a beautiful rendition of "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. It was a lovely afternoon full of joy, and I was thrilled to be there the document it.
Read MoreMarrying into the military means a life full of unpredictability, flexibility and adventure! And Ryan and Abby's new life together will be no exception! Not only is Ryan getting deployed with the Navy, but Abby will soon be joining him to begin their journey as husband and wife stationed in JAPAN! I met this darling couple Friday morning at Deception Pass where they had a private and beautiful elopement ceremony. They had an intimate vow exchange married by a family friend, and then walked the beaches through the pacific mist as a newly married couple.
Read MoreI love working with this family. I first met Katy and Kyle when they had just brought their newborn twins home for an in-home lifestyle session. This time we were able to connect again with their whole crew, and it was so adorable watching the big brothers love up on their siblings. And when there's 4 kiddos, 2 of them super active, what better place to have a photo-shoot than at the park!
Read MoreThe story of the military family is one of strength, resilience, and love. It's one of unpredictable phone calls, trying to explain to little ones why daddy or mommy can't tuck them in at night, and count downs of days until being reunited. It's also a story of joy. The excitement and anticipation of being able to have a conversation face to face, the camaraderie and bond you make with your fellow military families, and the pure elation across both parent and kiddos face when finally in arms reach of each other.
Read MoreLast night's stylized session was a dream come true! A few months ago my wildly talented photographer friend Kim (of The Big Day) and I were catching up at Whibey Coffee, and a vision of collaborating on a Roman inspired wedding shoot began to evolve. We imagined the rocky cliffs of Rosario Beach and a beautiful bride in a gorgeous flowing gown standing upon the rocks at sunset...
