Bowe Family – Washington Arboretum

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 […]

Sarah and Alexander have the sweetest love story. They met in English class in college and now they’re both writers! It’s amazing how pieces of life’s journey start with a moment of connection. Now they’re expecting a little baby boy any day now and I’m happy to share some images from our day together. If […]

It’s finally spring!  Tis the season for sunnier photo shoots and blustery days with longer daylight hours. Last week I had the huge honor of photographing one of the instructors from my day-job over at CreativeLive.  Khara and her family were in town while she taught a class and lucky for me, they wanted to […]

If you choose to live in the Northwest you probably have a bit of a soft spot for the rain.  Each time the cloud blanket rolls in and gentle drops fall a fresh breath of air embraces everything.  Last weekend I ventured out with the Kemery Family on one such day.  It was classically Seattle, […]

Thankful for Thanksgiving

I had the most wonderful time in LA last weekend at my sister & brother-in-law’s house.  They threw an all day shindig with a gorgeous patio dinner that just melted away all my stress.  For the whole day, I didn’t worry about what was going on at work, or on my Facebook, or in email, […]

Meet the Fanelli family: Tom, Renee, and little lovebug Scarlett.  Team Fanelli was all about getting into the beautiful outdoors for our family shoot come rain or shine.  As is Seattle’s November custom, we got rain.  Plus side?  Weather apps are becoming increasingly more accurate and bonus, we found a magical forested area smack dab […]

Burns Family – Kirkland

I met Beth before she was a Burns.  We worked together at an ad agency and found ourselves working on the same client account.  One day we learned that we were both traveling to Hawaii on the same day.  She was going for her honeymoon and I was going for a family trip.  Eventually we […]
