Based in Snoqualmie, I am a documentary wedding + portrait photographer, who has been capturing couples (and all things love) since 2010. I have 3 amazon teens, who are obsessed with sports, and a hubs who is my bff, while the fur babies snuggle at our feet.
We know busy, manage chaos, are constantly hangry, give huge bear hugs, dance in the kitchen, and laugh a lot while exploring this rollercoaster called life.
Through a documentary yet romantic shooting style, my focus is on candid-natural interactions and authentic emotions. I’ve got an eye for detail and finding beauty in the unscripted, which allows me to create images that reflect the uniqueness of each couple’s love and time together.
“The Office” and “Parks + Rec” are on a binge-watching rotation in our house… “I love you + I like you”. Music is also a constant, as kitchen dance parties are a must. I have a slight obsession with trees, yep total tree hugger — I just love how the light + wind seem to dance through their leaves. The coast is my happy place, but I also crave the mountains and all those greens. My teen athletes are my heroes — their passion is so inspiring. And even though I am quite sarcastic, I can always find the silver lining.
I am tall, laugh really loud and give the best hugs. If you are not into hugs, you probably will be by the end of the session! I grew up on 60’s music, survived the 80’s, and my heart holds onto the Grunge era that was Seattle in the 90’s. But I am also shaped by my youth spent in Oakland - it helped me realize how important it is to stand up for yourself, as well as those you love, and not take shit from anyone.
I get really excited about good lighting + dramatic shadows. So, you may see me jumping up + down clapping when I find the perfect spot — I cannot help myself! And rainbows, need I say more?? I have always been slightly obsessed with rainbows and love that they tend to show up when I’m out shooting on stormy days.
on a boba run... it's always last minute but when you get that call "you down for boba?" - yes... always.
watching sports...
we have 3 college athletes, so whenever i'm not shooting it's game time!
singing everything...
music is always on or something is stuck in my head - give me a beat!
chasing sunsets...
in seattle you have limited time to cherish the painted skies - so jump in the car now!
