Our very favorite thing since moving to Washington is finding new hikes and beautiful spots for photoshoots. A few weeks ago Michael and I (and Maverick of course) scouted out this gorgeous little hike to Hanging Gardens in Black Diamond, WA. It was such a peaceful, rainy afternoon spent together in our beloved PNW.
Read MoreVignesh and Niveditha were so fun photograph and get to know! We hiked around Squak Mountain and found some gorgeous spots to document their newlywed love. The springtime greenery here in western WA is just unbelievable! I am so excited to be living in this beautiful state and to keep meeting amazing people like these two!
Read MoreThis family is so dang adorable. Morgan and Jake were beaming with love for their sweet new baby boy, and big brother Easton was just excited!
I can't get enough of these in-home lifestyle sessions!
Read MoreI was out hiking one day when I came across this spot and had a creative vision that I just needed to get out of my head and out into the world. I asked Cassidy and Chris to model for me because, well, they're hot #amiright? Being in the Vegas valley at the time, we definitely were not planning on the rain, so I did not get all of the shots I planned on, especially the details, because I felt bad making my models stand out in the freezing wind and rain for too long, but it was still totally worth it! We almost rescheduled the session, but my gut told me to just go for it and I am soooooo glad I listened because this moody fog and soft lighting completely blew me away. It definitely reinforced a lesson I have learned time and time again - no matter what the conditions are, just get out there, take in the scene, feel the mood of the moment and just go with it and most of the time you end up with something amazing that you never could have created on purpose. That's a pretty cool feeling.
Read MoreThese newly weds are two of the best people I know. My sister in-law Madi, and her hubby Dano have such big hearts and so much love for each other. He looks at her in the sweetest of ways and makes her giggle like I have never seen before, and you can tell that she just feels so at home in his arms.
I could honestly spend all day documenting their endless love <3
Read MoreThe first time Jessica talked to me about photographing her wedding, I knew we would be a perfect fit. Every detail about the day was gorgeous, while still being laid-back, fun-oriented, and most importantly, about the couple. The reason I LOVE small, intimate weddings like this one is because it allows the focus to truly be on the bride and groom and how much they enjoy each others' company. Jess + Daniel's wedding was no exception. I don't know if I have ever seen a couple more inseparable than these two. They are amazing together and I am so grateful I got to be a part of this beautiful day!
Read MoreThis family seriously stole my heart <3 One of my favorite family sessions to date. They were so relaxed and care free and that always makes for the best pictures! I had a chance to capture their true personalities through candid, documentary style photography which is where my heart truly lies! Thank you so much Hayes family!
Read MoreBeing self-employed, it can be really hard to force yourself to take a break, respect your work hours, and unplug. Last weekend, we left technology and social media behind, drove an hour up Mt. Charleston, and stayed in a cozy, log cabin at the top. We played cards, watched movies, hiked around, hot tubbed, took pictures, read books, and just relaxed. And it was AWESOME.
Read MoreThis adorable family was so fun to work with. Thanks for everything Troy family!
Read MoreBaby Eli made his debut at the beginning of October and his family is absolutely smitten. This gorgeous mama and her three sweet boys were so much fun to photograph! In-home, lifestyle sessions are so much fun because I get to follow the family around with a camera and document their life in that period of time.
Read MoreMeet Jill and Charleston. They are two of my favorite people in the world. Charlie girl just turned 6 and was about to lose her front tooth. I can't believe how grown up she is getting. Jill is a single-mom superstar. She is such an amazing friend and one of the most thoughtful and charitable people I know. I love them both to death. Their mother-daughter bond is one of the sweetest things I have ever had the privilege of documenting.
