First I have to start out by saying… Julie is 6 months old!! It happens so quickly and it’s amazing how big children get at this stage. She is just learning how to sit up by herself (still falls over often though), loves chewing on her feet, and even has two teeth now!
About 2 weeks [...]
Last night I photographed the wedding between Annie and Peter! It was at the Landmark Convention Center in Tacoma and I tried something totally new. See, I hate doing “Table Shots” which are the photos of guests sitting around the tables during dinner. I just hate walking up to people while they are eating and [...]
The Lacey Fire Department holds a special place in my heart… after all, it is where a good majority of my social circle works and where my husband has chosen to make a career. I give a lot of volunteer time to the department not only because it means a lot to me on a [...]
It’s hard to believe, but Julie is already two months old! It’s been a fun and difficult two months with my newest little one. While in some respects she is totally healthy and happy, she has also struggled with some lingering breathing issues left over from birth and severe reflux. Never again will I ever [...]
A few days ago I wrote a blog post about how my photography isn’t all about photoshop. I truly believe that in order to provide a strong final product, you have to have a strong raw product to begin with. Too many photographers are scared to show their straight out of camera shots. It’s kind [...]
Anyone interested in doing a Valentine’s Boudoir session? You gotta e-mail me personally, and quickly, because I’m only doing a handful of these next week in anticipation of Valentine’s Day. Products from these sessions make absolutely perfect gifts for your significant other. They are totally fun, totally flirtatious and really quite sexy. I know it’s [...]
Rebecca is my wonderful assistant. Seriously, she keeps me working at a consistent pace on a wedding day and I’d be much more disorganzied if it wasn’t for her. I adore her! She is also an aspiring photographer who is taking a slow-and-steady pace towards her development as a photographer. Recently her husband Jake started [...]
If you have children then you know that if it gets quiet they are getting into trouble. It’s just how it is; especially with toddlers.
Today, I was making lunch when it was eerily quiet in the house. Julie was in her swing taking a nap, but Maggie was no where to be found. A quick [...]
The last two weeks have been a bit arduous for me.
I’m a mom of a little newborn and a rambunctious 3 year old, I have a business to run, a household to keep, and I’m still recovering from two surgeries in the last 8 weeks. But add in the fact that my husband, Jason, headed [...]
Last spring I was commissioned by South Sound Wedding & Event Magazine to photograph the actual engagement between Talis and Marla at the Tacoma Art Museum. The museum had gone to great lengths to arrange the actual engagement set-up and everything was prepared to present the ring to Marla as an actual museum exhibit. South [...]
