I absolutely love this idea: invite your closest family and friends to Fairhaven Park on a beautiful sunny fall day, make everyone boxed picnic lunches, spread out blankets and bring a homemade cake. And while you’re all there together… let’s get married! 🙂 That’s exactly what Joey & Rachel – and the ever-adorable Leo –…
Taylor | Ferndale Senior Photos 2022
I got to meet up with Taylor at Hovander Park a couple of weeks ago for his senior mini session. What a stud! I love it when guys have fun with their photos, and Taylor was a kick to hang out with; this is going to be a great senior year for him with everything…
Jeremy + Amber | Whatcom Falls Forest Elopement
Whatcom Falls is becoming a destination elopement location! This is the second ceremony this summer I’ve had the honor of photographing (check out the other here) who has flown in from out of state to start their married lives next to a waterfall within the canopy of this gorgeous forest. Jeremy and Amber chose Whatcom…
The Carlsons | Hovander Park Family Photos
There are some people you encounter in life who are inspiring just because of the authentic, deep-rooted person that they naturally are. Jess is one of those people for me. She lives her ordinary life with an extraordinary heart, with a depth of love and joy that is open to everyone she comes into contact…
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…
Cameron + Christine | Bellingham Sacred Heart and Cruise Terminal Wedding
Amid adoring family & friends on a beautiful day in September, Cameron & Christine sealed their forever vows together at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fairhaven and then celebrated under the dome inside the majestic Cruise Terminal. For this sweet, devout couple who pray the rosary together every single morning, this was the perfect beautiful…
The Hiorns | Extended Family Photos at Semiahmoo
When you have a close-knit extended family, it’s a treat to get all together for family photos. Bob & Sandy Hiorns have created a beautiful legacy within their family, and to help celebrate their 51st anniversary this year (wow!), everyone came out to Semiahmoo to hang out for a sunset evening on the beach with…
Tyler + Jade | Lairmont Manor Wedding
Nestled away in the neighborhoods of old Fairhaven, Lairmont Manor might just be the most classically beautiful wedding venue in Whatcom County. It feels like you stepped back in time and are attending a royal wedding in the era of high romance; and Jade really looked the part of a real-life princess with her off-the-shoulder…
The Williams | Fairhaven Family Photos
I love it when families want an urban twist on their photo session. I got to meet up with this awesome family in downtown Fairhaven this summer and we had a blast wandering around our beautiful little town!
David + Diana | Sacred Heart Wedding
Inside the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church, David & Diana pledged their forever to each other and then celebrated with close friends and family at a classically beautiful reception at the Hotel Bellwether. All the creamy ivory tones and vintage lace styling gave the day a timeless elegance that seemed to match this couple’s deeply…
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!…
Joey + Rachel (+Leo) | Woodstock Farms Family Photos
Rachel and Joey are getting married in just a couple of weeks, and I got to meet up with this sweet family at Woodstock Farms for a family / engagement session… but let’s be honest, it was all about adorable Leo!! I can’t wait to see his pudgy little grin again!
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…
North + Caroline | Bellingham Wedding Photography
There were so many gorgeous moments throughout North & Caroline’s wedding day that it took me forever to put this blog together just for the difficulty of choosing what to put in! Spring Time Farm served as the rustic garden backdrop, and a plethora of handmade creamy wildflower bouquets dotted every surface. Nearly every detail…
Russell + Cassandra | Whatcom Falls Adventure Wedding
I’ve had the privilege of photographing all kinds of weddings for 17 years now, and in all of that time I’ve never been a part of an experience like what Russ & Cass put together. They flew in from Colorado for a PNW adventure wedding on top of a waterfall, and because Russell has always…
Josh + Emily | Lynden Home Wedding
Joyful, humble, purposeful, dedicated, adventurous, easygoing; the first of many words that come to mind when I think about Josh and Emily. This couple is positively, literally a perfect match made in heaven. The complete adoration they have for each other is inspiring and as a pair, they spark tangible joy wherever they are. Josh…
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….
Gabe + Rachel | Hotel Sorrento Seattle Urban Wedding
Between the gorgeous historic Hotel Sorrento in downtown Seattle and the incredible architectural design of the Chapel of St. Ignatius on Seattle University’s campus, this urban wedding was practically iconic from start to finish. I couldn’t get over every beautiful, texturized, light-drenched detail. And you couldn’t find a better couple to be hosting their close…
Baby Colton | Lynden Lifestyle Newborn Photos
The Karuzas are literally one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever met. And Ashley should be a home designer, with how gorgeous she’s decorated every room of their house. This lifestyle newborn session was an absolute dream!
The Hansgens | Tennant Lake Family Mini
This beautiful family is growing up so fast, and I swear James & Emma get cuter every time I see them. Emma’s giggly little face with that amazing curly head just gets me every time!
Baby Emma | Lifestyle Newborn Photography
OH MY GOODNESS – will you please just appreciate the perfection of this girl’s cheeks?! I literally could not get over how beautiful Emma is, and she was such a happy baby during the entire photo session! Her parents got an absolute gem with this child. Dream baby!
The Richardsons | Hovander Park Family Mini
I love my family mini sessions at Hovander Park – there is so much to explore, and with kids this age a half an hour is often the most that they’re up for. I have been so lucky to photograph this super sweet family from the beginning – all the way back to Cody &…
Baby Owen | Bellingham Lifestyle Newborn Photography
Having celebrated their engagement, wedding and first baby with them, I was absolutely thrilled to be invited to capture Aaron & Brenna’s first few days with the newest addition to the sweet Fox family. He’s got a lot of cuteness to live up to in following his adorable big sister, that’s for sure!!
