2011 has been a CRAZY year full of really fun and exciting things. As I worked on this post I was amazed by all the things Isaiah and I had accomplished. You forget all of the things you can jam into 12 months until you take a few minutes to reflect. Today as I was […]
our SINCEREST apologies: I should probably start this post out with an apology and a thank you. First, the apology. I am embarrassed by how long it has taken me to visit this “place” to put up a post. The last six months for LHP would be enough for anyone to re-think if the “creative-self-employed-entrepreneur” […]
The Misfit Tour stopped in Seattle early last week and it was incredible for a multitude of reasons. 1.) The message and movement was absolutely incredible. The Misfit Tour. Being a Misfit for God. Being so uncomfortable in this world that you can’t even find a place. That your uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with the status quo. […]
One thing that has been so fun about this world of photography is reconnecting with some young adults of my past. For the last 10 years leading up to this moment in my life, I was in youth development. I have worked with some of the biggest non profits in Tacoma serving young people in […]
What do say about Amanda, except that she is stunning, but not necessarily physically, her absolutely personality shines through in everything she does. A sweet spirit who is self-assured with a quiet confidence makes for a really amazing high school senior in my eyes. Isaiah and I had a blast shooting Amanda a few weeks […]
Tisa is my saucy senior with spice! She is bold and beautiful and knows what she wants, which is why I was not suprised when she called me with her complete senior session planned and ready to go, she just need a photographer. I was honored that she wanted us and glad to hear her […]
Teddi was SUCH a trooper for her senior pictures, literally. Days before our session was scheduled, she was hanging out and stepped on something that got lodge in her foot. After hours of trying to get it out herself, with mom’s help of course, they realized the situation was MUCH too severe and had to […]
Teddi Lorraine- a 2012 River Ridge High School Senior, Pt 1 {Senior Picture Photographer, Tacoma WA}
There is nothing more special then a family picture! I talk about it all the time. They are so valuable to keep track of your family’s growth and development. When Ike and I have our little family, I cannot wait to book sessions with some of our favorite photographers. Its so much fun to see […]
One of the best business decisions Ike and I ever made was this Street Team. These young people are amazing and its so fun getting to know them and them and the things that make them tick at one of the most important times of their life. Tre is a senior at Todd Beamer high […]
Sweet sweet Megan. So quirky so fun. She had two commands, maybe three. No posing. Beautiful light and a few pictures with her 1970’s Beetle. I said yes and we met up at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, WA to make it happen. No posing, so I chased her with my camera. Perfect […]
What happens when the thing you never thought would happen does? What happens when you unexpectedly get sick? What happens when someone you love falls ill or even worse dies? What happens when a natural disaster hits and destroys everything you've worked so hard to build? What happens when you become ill or paralyzed and are unable to run your business? What happens when you find yourself in a global pandemic and you're unable to work for months at a time? What are you going to do?

When we first started shooting, we couldn't afford many of the opportunities and workshops that were available for newbie photographers to learn and grow, so we really utilized the free communities online and locally to building relationships and to learn the trade. It was those years that shaped who we are as people in this industry and have helped us to value the journey.
