Courtney is amazing! I arrived at her house on Vashon with a fresh garden, grape vines, horses, chickens, apple trees, dog, barn cat and a loving family supporting her the entire shoot. What a fun time we had and I felt so welcomed with veggies and herbs to take home and my fill of animal therapy!

I knew I would love this wedding when I met Kristyn and Steve for their engagement shoot on Capital Hill in Seattle. Lets just say colorful and I LOVE LOVE LOVE lots of color! These two are charming too, so spending lots of time with them was easy :). I loved all their ideas and it was my first time at Wild Rose Estates. Such a beautiful venue with lots of flowers, a she shed for the girls and a he shed for the guys, tons of land and parking. It was fabulous!

Abigail and Alexis are twins and wanted to share their session with a little extra time added. I love doing that with twins or even friends. It’s fun to have a buddy with you during your shoot, especially if you are shy (which these girls aren’t btw). I loved that their ones together especially and I loved how their personalities each came out even though they were done together.

I love shoots at my senior’s homes, since they are unique to them and hold a special place in their heart. I firmly believe that you can have a fabulous shoot almost anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, location is important, very important, but it’s more about the light and interest than it is about the actual overall landscape. I think an alley can be great, or any street in the city, a park, industrial area, a sidewalk in front of your house or a beach! It’s all awesome! I LOVE Sophia’s beach session and since I did her sister’s shoot at the same location, we made sure it was totally different. Sophia’s mom and I went to high school together and her brother is one of the people that helped in the match making of Joe and I when we were just 16.

Many families choose to take the time to do a family picture at the end of a senior session (or sometimes at the very beginning). It’s the perfect time! It’s so easy to put it off and this is the perfect opportunity! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last image! The best family shot ever! haha

Kelsey has held a special place in my heart ever since I did her senior portraits and I wish I could remember what year that was :). We have done modeling pictures, college graduation pictures, engagement pictures and now, her wedding day. The day she is marrying her best friend, Juan. I love watching these two together. They have magic, such pure love. Not a dry eye during their vows and to see them watch each other’s feet was a special part of the whole day. I’ve never seen that before. These two love Disney, that’s where Juan proposed and it’s where they went for their honeymoon and they had a sweet subtle flavor Beauty and the Beast throughout the wedding.

A TALE AS OLD AS TIME…

I love when my clients trust me to pick the locations. I have a ton of ideas and many are not the typical places. I just wait for those times where I here, “you pick”. I have a bunch right in my back pocket ready to share for just the right session. It’s always windy at this beach, but just so pretty and I don’t mind taking extra time to such a gorgeous place, especially for one of my seniors.

Amy and I had such a great time. I’m most at peace when I’m on a shoot and I love the one on one interaction with people. It’s a funny thing. I am definitely an introvert, but when I have my camera and I meet my client I feel like we are already friends and we are getting together to have a little fun.
