Upper Queen Anne holds significance for Stacy and Braden, which worked perfectly because I know this area well and have enjoyed shooting around Parson Gardens before. Unique homes, trees draping over the street, and palms making us feel like we’re somewhere far away from the Seattle Rain. We met for happy hour at Via Tribunali, […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how I can be more intentional with my couples. Photographing couples in a way that makes them feel comfortable has always been a top priority for me, so about a year ago I created my “pep talk strategy”.  My go-to method that promotes vulnerability and openness.

Britt & Julio set aside a few hours for us to explore Sayulita but when they were getting ready I immediately fell in love with the white walls and greenery of where they had been living for the week. We started pool side and ended in town eating tacos. Pre-wedding sessions. Can they always be […]

Jennie & Jesse. Talented artists and humble souls. These two drove all the way from Eastern Washington to do a session with me. A full day of driving, pleasant conversation, a pit stop for lunch and beers, and then a failed attempt to catch a ferry to Friday Harbor. Regardless, these two made things easy […]

When Brooke said her and her man wanted to come to Seattle to do a session I thought, what? with me? I’ve been following this lady’s work forever and she and her husband are incredibly talented wedding photographers in Georgia. It’s always a bit nerveracking meeting and photographing people in the creative field but I […]
