I’ve always dreamed of photographing a wedding at Kiana Lodge. I have family ties to this part of Washington and had been eyeing this venue online for quite sometime, hoping a nice couple would come along and swoop me for their wedding date. Well, that nice couple was more than just nice but also quirky […]

Moving to a new state has meant a lot of firsts for me; firsts that have been good for both my heart and my growth as an artist. There’s really something special about living somewhere new. For me, it awakens my mind from routine and knocks me back into this perpetual state of awareness and […]

After my dad passed in 2008 from Pancreatic Cancer, I mourned his death by grasping onto a way a life that seemed to compliment his while he was still alive. He was intentional with his relationships and happy to avoid surface level chat. He enjoyed old film cameras and growing in his passions; like spending […]

Kristine and Nick celebrated their nuptials with a very intimate group of friends and family, in the most romantic place I’ve ever ventured for work.

Ali and Adam made the decision to have an intimate wedding. The day was slow paced with a loose timeline. Added bonus, we ate […]

Sometimes I don’t have much to say in my blog posts and it’s not necessarily for a lack of feelings or connection with my couples. It’s just that sometimes the word aren’t there quite yet. What I do know is that I feel a strong connection with these two. They are easy to be around, […]

Two years ago I was photographing Ashley + Adam’s wedding in Pennsylvania on NYE and met the Al’s. Allison is Adam’s sis and her and Alan made me feel like family during my east coast visit. A couple years later and here I am, reunited with their incredibly warm family again. These two made my […]
