Halloween holds a special joy and love for my daughter, Rosie. Ever since she was two, Rosie has delighted in this annual tradition – it thrills her even more than Christmas it seems! She chooses a different costume each year, and this year she chose a beautiful princess dress. The dress is so beautiful and […]

When Amanda first contacted me about scheduling a portrait session, she said that it is something she has always wanted to do but that she especially wanted to do it now for her partner, Boudewijn, and their dog, Nala. They have plenty of photos of Nala through the years, but Amanda wanted some special images […]

There are few things I like better than catching the last few rays of summer sun in a family portrait session–especially a family like this one. Amanda approached me about doing a family session to celebrate their bond as a family unit–mama, papa, child, and Nala. We met at their favorite hang out park near […]

Isn’t it just the sweetest? Same dog. Same baby. Taken just a few weeks apart.

This mama was daydreaming of cherry blossoms during the snow storm this winter when she contacted me to put her session on the books.

Big changes ahead for this sweet family! Changes that include a change of scenery for their home port, and so to celebrate their time here in the PNW we arranged a family session at Point No Point beach. Around the same time last year we did a session when their little one was about to […]

I could hardly wait to get to Michigan to visit my friend who just relocated there from her home here in WA. Although our friendship is relatively new, Sara is just one of those special people who makes me feel like I’ve known her forever. She is also the master photographer behind my family photos […]

As we planned for Milo’s 6month Session, Mama asked if we could do a Milk Bath Session to celebrate another milestone: Six Month Breastfeeding! I was immediately on board–I breastfed one of my children too and I remember how huge six months felt and wanted to honor those feelings for this family. I’ve seen these […]

After my visit in WI, I hopped aboard a ferry and sailed across Lake Michigan to visit the sweetest friends! We had a grand time catching up and chatting, visiting the local science museum and playing games together! I was able to grab some more photo souvenirs of this beautiful family before I left and […]
