Kelly and Michael - Chihuly Garden and Glass Wedding - Seattle, WA

When I first met Kelly & Michael I knew their wedding would be special. They’re an adventurous couple and she’s a morning Anchor for Komo 4. She described her dream wedding as a “mullet wedding” beautiful in the front but a party in the back…and that’s exactly what it was. Every detail was elegant, but they knew that didn’t mean it needed to be dull…no stuffy celebrations here! It was a joyful day filled with lots of laughter, incredible speeches, kick ass music, happy tears, and some impressive dance moves. Wedding mullets forever!

Jess - Maternity Session

I absolutely adore this woman.  We shot Jess & Joe's wedding a few years ago and have had the pleasure of staying in touch with them.  When I found out they were expecting their first child, I couldn't wait to see her and catch up.  Working with Jess is always a treat, but there was something about how she held herself at this shoot that was particularly strong and confident.  Through various projects I've also met and photographed Jess' mother & grandmother, and it's very easy to see where she gets her beauty, determination, and passion for life.  Recently Jess & Joe welcomed their baby boy and I am bursting with joy for them!

Ashley Bridal Portraits

I was beyond excited with Ashley reached out to have me do her bridal portraits.  I have shot Ashley many times over the years as she was one of the very first models I photographed during my time at the Art Institute.  This shoot really felt full circle to me.  Now ten years in, I have my dream business and get to work with incredible clients capturing once in a  lifetime moments.  We had such a great time catching up and I couldn't be happier for Ashley as she enters this next stage in her life!

Danielle - Maternity Session

I am so happy for this gorgeous woman.  I've had the pleasure of shooting for Danielle and Carl since the early years of our business, and absolutely love them.  We wanted this session to feel modern and romantic, and the images are truly favorites of mine.  Danielle is a nurse and Carl recently graduated and is now Dr. Anderson (a huge congrats!), so we recreated a photo from their engagement session with their stethoscopes.  These two are going to be incredible parents!

Clinton & Justine - Seattle Elopement

I met Clinton and Justine while in school at the Art Institute of Seattle.  They began dating around the same time Evan and I did, and it was incredibly special to photograph their elopement.  We wanted to keep their portraits simple with a twist.  These portraits are stunning and perfectly show how tender and playful their relationship is.  

Blue Bridal

I've always wanted to shoot at the Gorge, so when Ted and Laurel were interested, I took the opportunity to do a full styled shoot with them.  Chesney from All the Flutter really outdid herself with the sweetheart table, perfect for two!  Their blue hues perfectly matched the river cutting through the desert.  I couldn't have been more happy with how this shoot turned out and am so thankful for the entire team that made it happen!

Shauna - Maternity Session

When we shot Shauna and Dane's wedding a few years ago, I would have never imagined we'd become such close friends.  Shauna is such a kind person, it was hard to not stay in touch.  Now two kids later, we have seen each other's families grow and continue to support each other.  Shauna, who is also a gifted photographer, has been a source of inspiration to me.  There's nothing like the support you get from another mother, and I feel lucky she stopped by the studio for these portraits.  

Dasha & Steve, Wedding, Fairmont Olympic, Seattle

The couples that we shoot hold very special places in our heart.  We witness one of the most important days in their life, and it's an honor to capture those moments.  Dasha and Steve were particularly special for me.  We didn't know them before they hired us, but I was able to shoot Dasha's bridal portraits & boudoir images before their big day.  That time with her really stands out.  It was so wonderful connecting with her one on one.  I knew their wedding was going to be visually spectacular, but beyond that, it was bursting with heart.  To meet these two is to love them.  I am forever grateful to Rebecca from New Creations for bringing them into my life.  I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this amazing couple!

Alexis and Danielle, Engagement Session - Discovery Park, Seattle

I knew upon meeting Alexis and Danielle that I was going to love every second of working with them.  They are energetic and are one of those couples that just seem meant to be.  Their session was filled with laughter, cuddling, and tender moments.   I couldn't be more pleased with these images or more grateful for the chance to spend the afternoon with them. 

Regina & Ken, Maternity Session - Seattle, WA

There is something very special about getting a message that one of our wedding couples is expecting their first child.  I have had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful couple many times since their engagement, but their maternity session is one of my favorites.  These images are so simple but absolutely stunning.  Regina is glowing and the sweetness between her and Ken is undeniable.  I am so grateful I was able to capture this time for them.  

Welcome 2017!

2017 is officially here and we want to take this time to thank our friends, family, and clients for their endless encouragement this year.  Photography brought Evan and I together ten years ago and the connections we've made since then continue to shape our lives.  In 2016 we continued to grow and push ourselves creatively.  I shot in my studio more than ever and collaborated with some amazingly talented people.  We are grateful that so many people have invited us to capture such intimate moments in their lives.  What a honor to be trusted with such important events.  We sincerely thank you for your support.  Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Our beautiful NYE shoot was created and styled by the following creative team.  Kaleb Norman James,  Yessie Libby, JES Design Studio, and Grey & Cake.  Models: Hanna Gebrehiwet, Andrew Stebliy (SMG), Mikaela Basurto, and Victoria Vasyuk.  

Dasha & Steve, Engagement Session - Discovery Park, Seattle

Dasha and Steve's engagement session at Discovery Park is one of my favorites from this year.  It was the perfect fall day and I felt like I was walking through the park with old friends.  I remember meeting them for the first time and was instantly drawn to their warmth and sincerity.  Their wedding is tomorrow and I cannot wait to capture their day!  

Camille's Family Session, Bainbridge Island Ferry- Seattle, WA

Meet the adorable Coco and her parents.  I had the best time with them on the ferry for their end of the summer shoot.  Coco is bursting with personality and it was such an adventure to watch her explore the ferry.  They're expecting their second child and I love how this shoot perfectly captures where they are now...just months before they become a family of four.  I'm sending so much love to this darling family and hope you enjoy their photos!

April & Nik, Wedding - Axis - Seattle, WA

April and Nik's celebration was everything I love about weddings.  It was elegant, fun, and full of personal details.  We made a last minute decision to do their photos at the Seattle Public Library because it decided (in true Seattle fashion) to rain the moment we left the Four Seasons...but I'm so glad it did!  The photos there are some of my favorites portraits ever.  We then headed to Axis and did some more photos around Pioneer Square.  Everything was beautifully coordinated by the couple and included many details made by Nik.  The Hora is always one of my favorite parts of Jewish weddings, and this one was no exception.  It was an incredible day celebrating these two wonderful people.  Congrats April & Nik!
