I can’t even begin to explain how odd it is that we have a one year old. I feel like it was last week that I was heading to my midwife to meet my precious girl and now she’s a toddler. I can say for sure it has been one of the most challenging, rewarding, […]
There is almost nothing more rewarding then photographing a friend and that honor doubles when it’s their wedding day.

Meet my friend Brooke. She’s a incredible stylist and the amazing talent behind our street team shoot. She and her husband are the NEW owners of Urban Xchange in downtown Tacoma. This excites me for a lot of reasons. Brooke is one of the sweetest people I know and her eye for style is uncanny […]

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.
