Kyle + Melissa {Hovander Park Tennant Lake Engagement Session}
“I choose you. And I’ll choose you, over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I’ll keep choosing you.” –Unknown I love Hovander Park and the boardwalks at Tenant Lake on sunny days, and I love young couples who laugh so easily together.

Karen Said Yes! {Surprise Proposal Photography}
When Burt contacted me about surprising his girlfriend with a Seattle rooftop proposal at sunset, I was SUPER excited. Are you kidding me?! What an awesome moment to be a part of!! And it did not disappoint. Burt & Karen’s families all gathered at a cousin’s apartment complex for a “birthday party” for Burt… with…
Brian + Jenna {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Snow, rain, freezing wind, whatever – nothing could keep these two away! We woke up to snow on the ground at the top of our hill in Ferndale on the morning of our engagement session with Brian & Jenna, and they were totally up for playing in the snow; sadly, driving down the hill to…
Chris + Rachel {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
I get positively giddy when I get couples in front of my camera who are not only in love, but solidly best friends; and these two are the genuine article. We headed to Baker with Chris & Rachel earlier this year, determined to find snow for their engagement session. And find it we did! We…
John & Dhanna {Seattle Engagement Photography}
Once upon a time, a beautiful young Californian couple traveled to the great city of Seattle and visited Gasworks Park. They fell in love with it and said to each other, “Wouldn’t this be a great place for a engagement pictures?” And so, several years later, John & Dhanna returned; now engaged! 🙂 We had…
Tim + Autumn {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Tim & Autumn are SO STINKIN’ CUTE together! Seriously. I can’t even stand it. After hanging out with them for their engagement session last week, I feel like we’ve known these two for years! The way that they love each other, the way that the look at each other is just amazing; I love seeing…
Neil + Kristine {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Neil & Kristine are getting married in July, and then two weeks after the wedding are hopping on a plane to go live in another country for a year – how crazy is that? So in the midst of their wedding planning, they’re also planning out that whole thing… talk about multitasking. 😉 But, they’ve…
Craig & Taylor {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Craig is a crab fisherman, and for part of their engagement session, he and Taylor wanted to head over to his family’s old wooden boat to take some pictures. We were STOKED at the idea! And as it turned out, we hit the perfect day for their session – even though it was raining when…
Timias + Katie {Seattle Engagement Photography}
Katie works for the Everett Aquasox, so it was only natural that we take full advantage of that fact during her and Timias’ engagement session. SO cool! We got the “backstage” pass to everything – dugout, home plate, even the sweet old manual scoreboard. On top of it all, Katie is the prop queen, so…
Joe + Alyssa {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Joe and Alyssa are getting married next month at the Majestic in Anacortes, so for their engagement session we met them in downtown Anacortes to do a little pre-wedding exploring. This sleepy little town has some seriously cool nooks & crannies all over the place! I can’t wait for their wedding – but in the…
Lance + Brynn {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
We met Lance & Brynn for the first time on Tuesday, and that Sunday we were hanging out again for engagement photos. These guys don’t waste any time! 🙂 And even though it was raining on us – despite having gorgeous weather the entire week, of course – they were still up for anything. We…
Cody + Kyla {Seattle Engagement Photography}
Me: “Does Cody ever just… walk next to you and hold your hand?” Kyla: “Nope, not really. He always has to climb things.” That might sound strange & unromantic, but it’s not – that’s just how it is for Cody & Kyla. Cody is a parkour enthusiast, and everywhere he goes he simply HAS to…
Clayton + Bekah {Seattle After-Wedding Photography}
My beautiful little sister got married this April, and recently we got to gather all things wedding together again for an After Session. So fun! First stop, Mom & Dad’s house to play on the tire swing we loved as kids. Then we got to spend an hour playing around at the COOLEST house in…
Andrew + Hanna {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
We met Andrew & Hanna in Fairhaven at Marine Park to kick off their engagement session, hit up Katie’s Cupcakes and wound up on the third floor of Village Books. What an AWESOME day! These lovebirds are SO stinkin’ adorable, I can’t even get over it. Love them!
Matt + Mackenna {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
First of all, I can’t believe that Mackenna is old enough to be getting married!! I grew up with her family, and this summer I’m finding myself with the honor of photographing both hers and her sister Keirstin‘s weddings… wierd and awesome all at once. 🙂 For their engagement session, Matt & Mackenna drove up…
Chris + Rachel {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
SO CUTE, SO FUN!! Best way to describe these two. My cheeks seriously hurt after hanging out with Chris & Rachel at Lake Padden for their engagement session. 🙂 Not only did they get in the water immediately and then crawl through the tall grass (these are my kind of people!) the highlight of the…
Jacob & Keirstin {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
When you know, you just know. Jacob & Keirstin starting dating just a few months ago, and their wedding day is coming up fast; but let me tell you, they’re far and away one of the most comfortable, natural couples we’ve ever spent time with. “Meant to be” is an understatement, I think! I love seeing…
Kelby + Lynn {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
O.M.G. Kelby and Lynn. Let me tell you… these two kids are one of the FUNNIEST pairs I’ve ever met! They were SO MUCH STINKIN FUN!! Haha! 🙂 Nothing was too goofy, which I absolutely love; and my cheeks & stomach literally hurt by the end of our session because we were laughing so hard….
Brian + Amanda {Bellingham Engagement Photography}
Our dear friends Brian & Amanda are getting MARRIED – finally!! And getting married in Belize, no less. We cannot WAIT for this wedding, it’s going to be simply incredible! But in the meantime, we took a springtime trip over to Elizabeth Park and poked around a few back alleys downtown Bellingham for their engagement…
