It’s truly amazing how a blip in time can lead to such beautiful things.  I first met Kelly while working a retail job not too long after I had first landed in Seattle (13 years ago now!).  We bonded over the pain of early stock shifts, the way our manager said the word ‘pillow’ and […]

Kiana & Sean – Ralston White Retreat

Kiana and Sean have been together for years but their marriage just took place earlier this month in San Francisco starting an entirely new chapter of their lives together.  We met over the phone so I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived at the Ralston White Retreat in Mill Valley.  When we finally […]

Seattle is a small big town.  If you’re in certain industries it seems inevitable you’re going to run into people all the time. I never actually worked with Travis but we crossed paths through two different jobs and tons of mutual friends.  We finally met in person at a friend’s wedding a few years back […]

Honey Lavender Ice Cream

If you live in Seattle, you probably know of Molly Moon’s Ice Cream.  They’ve been around since 2008 and I’ve spent many a summer night (and truthfully cozy winter nights too) just sitting in one of the shops enjoying a rich scoop and taking in the waffle cone smells. Every single time a friend or […]

Tompkins Family – Manhattan Beach

Last weekend I had an amazing time with the Tompkins family down in California!  Kasey and I went to college together and it had been so long since I’d seen her.  It was a total treat to get to meet her husband Jeff and their son Ian.  We went to Manhattan Beach for our pics […]
