I love the way they genuinely care for and love eachother. Earlier this year, when I was just starting out (which Im still just starting […]
Its rare that I can’t find the words for anything, much less my friends…. but for some reason, I am having trouble putting how much this family means to me into words. Nothing seems good enough for them or the impact they have had on our lives (mine and Isaiah) over the last year. Laura […]
Love Love Love this family! So beautiful! So awesome & so kind. Isaiah and I didnt have as much time as we would have liked with the Ruiz, on a beautiful Saturday evening in the Alki Beach neighborhood/but with the time we had wanted to show the love this beautiful family of four had for […]
This girl is strikingly gorgeous and when I saw her I had to photograph her. I can say this one thing about her and then move on to the pictures: as beautiful as she is her spirit for the Lord shines even more beautifully then her outward appearance. Thank you Danika for allowing me to […]
What can I say about Kayla except that she is absolutely stunning and such a joy to shoot for our first senior session of the season!

She said it had been a while since they had taken pictures and wanted a few sassy prints […]
Angela, after getting a referral and checking us out on Facebook, booked her own family portait sesh with LHP and for me was one of our most interesting and challenging shoots to date. Why you ask??

BEST PART OF THE TRIP HANDS DOWN: B & H Photo!! Freaking amazing!!!
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.
