Xaviera & Chong’s Summer Wedding at Bayshore Clubhouse

Couples, Portraits, Wedding

In the wedding industry the term “ideal client” gets tossed around a lot. We’re told to envision the bride you want to serve. Make decisions with her in mind. It takes time and energy to create this persona but because of that, I knew from their first consultation I was going to love every single second of my time with Xaviera and Chong.

Being a “Type A” personality I love the first of the year. To me, January is a huge sigh of relief and it’s not just because I get to toss my old scribbled in planner and pick up a crisp, clean, fresh new one (although that’s not exactly a negative either). I live for a […]

Katy & Dakota’s Hatcher Pass Engagement Session

Sometimes it amazes me how large and how small our world can be and I don’t think I’m alone. That’s why shows like “This is us” are so popular. The way our lives crisscross, intersect, and part is fascinating.

Wedding planning can often times feel hectic. It’s just part of the game!! I often tell brides, it wouldn’t really be a wedding if at least one thing didn’t go awry. Ethan and Yeraldy have taken hectic to a whole new level.

Deartest Alyssa,  Today is your WEDDING DAY. Can you believe it? There aren’t enough words to express my excitement for you and Dustin. There also aren’t words to express how excited I am to be attending a wedding instead of working it, so thank you for that. You stood by me at my wedding and […]

Stunning Snow Peak Farm Wedding

I have truly only known these wonderful people as the beautiful little family they are. Mom, Dad, and sweet baby girl. I also cannot imagine it any other way. Their wedding day was filled with such heartwarming moments. Between Alexis putting on Blairs matching pearls to instead of a first dance, they shared a dance as a family.

Austyn & Ryan’s Homer Destination Wedding

Couples, Elopement, Photography, Portraits, Wedding

Spring of 2017 I had recently quit my job as a medical assistant after a long stint of some serious burnout. I was looking for something comfortable and familiar to fill my days while I decided wether or not I was going to jump into photography full time. So I turned back to coffee.

Beautiful Fox Hollow Chalet Summer Wedding

Shaynah and Jason’s story is a classic. There is no more beautiful way to start a lifelong, loving relationship then when it stems from an unbreakable friendship. They supported each other through life’s big challenges, the growing pains that come with adulthood, and even other heartbreaks. Finally they turned to each other
