Alise & Barney~Red Rock Farm

“Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.” – W.R. Purche When you accomplish something you’ve dreamed about for so long, it’s a very surreal feeling. And you want to almost deny its even happening. Because how can something like that have even happened. It was a belief you had….

Why should you do Branding Photos

You and your business are more than a logo; I read this sentence and then read it again. Your images can invoke feelings even before anyone messages you or picks up the phone. You as the business owner are the face of your business. It’s important to have a visual brand that presents you in…

Hodges Family~Duvall, WA

Adios 2019~ This year was a busy one for me. It was filled with two weddings, engagements, many pregnant mamas, tons of professional headshots, graduates, musicals, newborns, photos of art work, a rose pinning ceremony, spa branding photos, and of course the many families sessions. I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings for my…

Lifespa~Bellevue~Lifestyle photography

Rest and self-care are so important. Take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from an overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel. However you take your down time can vastly vary for each of us. I’m a lover of alone time. I like being with myself to reflect and…

Goodbye 2017~Hello 2018

I just wanted to express to all my clients of 2017 how much I adore each of you and appreciate your kind words.  Some of your sessions weren’t posted and kept private, but I still look at your images and think of the time spent on each face.  Supporting me in this creative outlet brings…

Meet Victoria~Class of 2016~Cottage Lake Park

This beautiful young lady actually lives out-of-state.  However, she was here visiting family and decided to have her images taken here.  I think she is stunning and sweet.  I also think that her doppelgänger is Kate Hudson.  Can you see the resemblance?! I want to thank the kids at the park for letting us borrow…

Meet the Freyberg/Myxters~Tolt McDonald Campground

Meet the Hughes~Golden Gardens, Seattle

I haven’t been to this location since I was a little girl.  If you want a great place to people watch.  I recommend checking out Golden Gardens in Seattle.  There are some spots that are private here too because it’s such a huge park.  And you can have a bon fire on the beach here!…

Meet Olivia~birth and newborn photos

I’m thoroughly enjoying my time with my new little love.  I may be biased, but I think she is perfect in every way. Her arrival came Wednesday, April 10th at 11:57am.  She was 7lbs and 9oz, 21 inches long.  My labor took about 5 hours after getting to the hospital. And I am very proud of myself for going el…

The McDougalls Celebrate 32 Years~Enatai Beach Park
