Bria MUST mean joy- because that is exactly what she brings! Bria is such a fun girl and her personality is absolutely infectious! She is one of those girls that screams “live life, laugh loud and BE happy!” and that is exactly what we did. I loved shooting Bria for all of the reasons I […]
I feel like such a failure, because NORMALLY I am so horrible at keeping up with weekly posts, daily updates, like this and I was doing so well- almost two months work of Mobile Monday’s posted on Monday, but this week- the post just got away from me. With such a crazy busy week last […]
It is rare that Isaiah and I get to shoot young men, especially for senior photos. I think there’s some terrible rumor passing thru high schools that falsely tell young people in the South Sound that senior pictures are only for the ladies- sadly it isnt true and because of this we get few male […]

We […]

I am so thankful to this and for this family and who they are. The amazing example of love that they showed Isaiah and I during their session and the complete outpouring of love they have shown us since we started our business. In some ways, they have been as big a part of growing […]
Its Mobile Monday…. and a very special shout out to my one KNOWN reader Annetta B- who always shows these posts love on FB (not watch, today will be the only day she doesn’t read the MM post because I shouted her out-LOL). Last week was a ton of fun…. We started our week off […]
I did a bit of traveling this week and headed to Boise Idaho for a quick surprise visit to one of my friends and one of our 2011 brides. Late last year as we were building our Facebook fan page, I noticed posts from a beautiful woman out of Idaho with the most striking blue […]
Not that I would EVER condone this, but its kinda FUN + cool when our young people, along with their parents, skip school to come and shoot with me mid-week. I never skipped school for everything, but always wondered what it was like on the “other side” the other side of school… well these days, […]
Meet Daniel + Brittany. GORGEOUS right?! Back in January, after spending a week in Utah with my friend Stacy Young of Three Winks Studios and watching her KILL weddings I was inspired. We were driving home one night and I told her that I wanted to do a complimentary shoot for a bride and groom […]
Isaiah and I were so excited when Kamala + Brandon implied they wanted us to shoot their wedding last fall in Richmond, VA and thought they were joking, until they called us up and made it official. It is and was our very first destination booking and although the destination wasn’t the typical “cool” spot […]
I fall in love so easily. It literally takes NOTHING to be my friend because I so love people. That’s why my blogs are always the same, the same message. “I had so much fun…” + “I love my (insert family/seniors/brides) or whatever it is I’m shooting that day. “We have so much fun…” I […]
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.
