Oh my goodness. It’s September 9th! Two days shy of my 15th wedding anniversary. The 5th day of school. Fall has sprung and I hung my traditional felt fall leaves inside tonight. I honestly heard Audrey gasp as I began my “fall-ifying” tonight….”mama, I just love those leaves”! And so begins my favorite three months […]

Teresa…… The fact that your honey thought it was important for you to have photos of just you and your girls…….I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH! He’s so awesome! It was so perfectly timed with Mother’s Day! This evening was fabulous! Laughter….love….warm, soft light. We couldn’t have asked for more!!!! Girls – I hope you […]

These three have such a special place in my heart. This day was all about a mom and her sweet girls!  You might remember these Gig Harbor girls from last year when the rains came right in the middle of our shoot…. CLICK HERE.  But on this day, the weather was perfect and these ladies were […]

This little family – SUCH love and total adorableness.  Reid recently turned 1 and he is ON THE MOVE!!!!!! I love that this family enjoys the little things.  The way he drinks his milk all. the. time. His unending appetite. The sparkle in his eye when the music from Curious George enters the room.  His […]

If there were such a thing as blog emoji….you guys would think I was crazy and I would TOTALLY overuse it (for sure)!!! I have had the privilege of shooting some seriously fantastic families this fall. Families full of love, fun, silliness, wit, care, and just major adoration for each other. I’m serious when I […]

These two……their enthusiastic love makes me smile every time I gaze over their engagement session! He happens to be my brother-in-law and SHE is almost my sister-in-law (and thank goodness because we are so meant to be sisters)!!!!!! I adore you both. I couldn’t be happier you found each other.  I cannot WAIT to watch you get […]

Our happy place…… I think the first time we went to the Flying U Ranch was way back in 1997. Crazy, right?!! It became a tradition for us “pre-kids” and we went every year (and a few years, twice). We even got engaged up there! Sigh. Time flies! The last time we went was in […]

Where do I begin? I met Megan in the 6th grade. I talked a lot…she was quiet (shocker, I know).  We were a match made in heaven. In the 8th grade, I chased her around with my camera – documenting our last year of middle school, and probably driving her a little bit crazy! And now, 26 […]

Remember these two?? They got married last year. AND just a few days ago had a GORGEOUS baby boy. More on that later (like in a few weeks when I get to go down and photograph this beautiful family of 3). Last month this mama called me to tell me the story of her first […]

BIG, GIANT, EXCITING day tomorrow for my bestie cousin, Mandy. It wasn’t long ago I was standing on the Puente de Triana in Seville, Spain with these two newly engaged lovebirds. NOW, we are one day out from their WEDDING. The forecast looks a little damp for tomorrow (or, you know, Stormwatch 2013), but the day […]
