It’s not often that I get to play around with urban textures these days, so I’m really excited when someone wants to set their session in back alleys with bricks & graffiti! Andy & Sam were a riot to hang out with (and spoiler alert, their wedding was amazing). We spent a little time at…

Michael + Michelle | Boulevard Park Sunrise Engagement
It’s not all that often that I get to drag people out of bed for a gorgeous (albeit rather cold!) spring sunrise session, but Michelle and Michael were all for it. This was a great way to start the day! We had this usually busy park nearly all to ourselves, and the walk along the…
Mike + Amy | Anniversary Photo Session
20 years! That’s a milestone. My friends Mike & Amy celebrated their anniversary this year and we got together in a random field in Ferndale for a quick mini session to commemorate how cute they still are. 😉 Look! They’re adorable.
Joe + Jenn | Tennant Lake Hovander Park Engagement Photos
Life is all about timing, isn’t it? Joe & Jenn were friends in high school, but life went in different directions and they lost touch. Fast forward a couple of decades, their mothers reconnect them (bragging rights!), and they both recognized that they were immediate perfect fit. It’s obvious after spending just a few minutes…
Russell + Cassandra | Semiahmoo Sunrise Engagement Photos
I know it’s backwards to post an engagement session after the wedding, but oh well! There’s no way I could NOT share this session. Sunrise photos on the Semiahmoo beachfront – how amazing is that?? These two got up at 4am to meet me the day before their wedding, and it was totally worth it!…
Cameron + Christine | Western Washington University Engagement Photos
On Saturday, we get to join Cameron & Christine as they start their forever; but a few weeks ago, we got to hang out with them where they met, Western Washington University, for their engagement session. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this cute couple again!
North + Caroline | Locust Beach Engagement Photos
The perfect sunset for the perfect couple! I was so happy to have such an awesome location for the GORGEOUS North & Caroline’s engagement photos – Locust Beach did not disappoint.
Trent + Kaitlin | Northern State Engagement Photos
Trent and Kaitlin are getting married next year and for their engagement session we got to meet up with them at a place that was entirely new to me – Northern State Rec Area in Sedro Woolley, the old mental hospital! It was such a cool location, I could shoot there for hours. And after…
Josh + Emily | Engaged
These two are made for each other; adventurous, deeply caring, genuinely joyful people who found their perfect partner in life. I think my favorite part about Josh & Emily is the way that BOTH of them automatically smiled and (yes literally) cooed every time I asked them to get their faces close to each other….
Mason + Carlie | Engaged
A windy new year’s day, beautiful wide open field, and two best friends about to get married. Save-The-Date mini engagement session perfection!
Joe + Katie | Engaged
Sunset at Semiahmoo with your best friend; the most beautiful romance in the world.
Gabe + Rachel | Engaged
Seriously people, you have no idea how excited I was to wake up to THIS GORGEOUS FOG this morning. You can’t just order up a dreamy landscape like this! Tennant Lake and Hovander Park might as well have been somewhere in the Irish countryside and created the perfect romantic backdrop for Gabe & Rachel’s engagement…
Colton + Heather | Year One
These lovebirds are celebrating their first anniversary – and what better way than to get all wedding-ed up again and go have a photo session?? I had so much fun with this. You guys are a riot and I like you! 😉
Tyler + Jade | Ferndale Urban Engagement
Tyler and Jade are one of the 2020 Covid Wedding Casualties who have moved their big day forward to 2021. However, we still wanted to get out and have some fun with a little city texture in their engagement photos! I had so much fun hanging out with these two and can’t wait to capture…
Alex + Adrienne | Tennant Lake Engagement
When I was in college, I was a youth group leader for several years to the same group of girls. At the time, the age difference between me and my girls was massive. Now, almost a decade and a half later… I realize we aren’t that far apart. At all. Here they are all getting…

“As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.” –Winnie the Pooh
Mini Session Time!
Happy fall, everyone!! Bring on the sweaters, warm fires, hot chocolate, scarves, boots & all things pumpkin; my heart is full. ❤ And to kick it all off, I’m offering a day of mini sessions at Hovander Park. If you’re really into our gorgeous fall colors, this is THE place to be; if you just…

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.
