Burns Family – Volunteer Park

I’ve photographed this awesome family since their first kiddo, and now they’ve blossomed into a powerhouse party of 5. Beth and James always crack me up with their humor every session we have, and it’s clear that they’ve passed on that silliness to their 3 girls. These ladies didn’t keep still for more than a […]

Being a twin must be such an interesting experience. You were born together, you know each other better than anyone else and you probably at times think that you have telepathy. What about when you’re a toddler and a twin? I recently photographed little Brooklyn and Lucy and their awesome parents for a fall family […]

Kerri & Marc – Radonich Ranch

Kerri and Marc are two of the most beautiful souls I’ve met, and it just warms my heart that they have found each other. Kerri is in social work, and Marc is a middle school teacher. They share a common passion for bettering the world and supporting others, and their circle of friends and family […]

Earlier this year I got to have a maternity shoot with them and hear all about their plans for parenthood. I remember how much they were brimming with excitement and ready for this transformative moment. Fast forward to our […]

Photographing with Andrew and Dyana over at Lands End in San Francisco was such a moody and beautiful treat. Across town it was sunny and warm, but over in the city near the coast, it was overcast and downright chilly. Dru used to be my desk-mate way back in the day at an ad agency […]

Tricia Portraits – Seattle

I had a super fun photo session with the vibrant and funny Tricia a couple of weeks back. We were super lucky to get a break from the heat and the smoke from the fires plaguing the area last month. We picked Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood to provide the backdrop. It was a perfect […]

When it comes to the Rossilli Family, there’s so much to love, there aren’t enough words. I love these guys so much. This is our second shoot together and it did not disappoint. We adventured out to Snohomish to Bailey Farms to snag some amazing u-pick vegetables and flowers and we were treated to the […]

Rooftops and Rosé

What do you do when you are putting together a brand video, and you need to showcase a warm summer evening gathering? That’s right. You plan it and host it yourself. As if I need an excuse to get people together for a little bubbly and cake. I’m so grateful for the awesome ladies that […]
