a new season

I can't believe fall is officially here! The trees are starting to lose their leaves, which I just noticed while photographing these 2 kiddos.

At least the summer sun is still hanging out in Seattle. That makes me happy.

Enjoy your weekend everyone! :)

Geoff & Suzy's wedding

Photographing a wedding is one of the most amazing experiences a photographer can have. You're invited to document such an important moment in two peoples lives. You're there to witness a personal and emotional event, and the task of documenting it all is an honor.

Geoff and Suzy had a gorgeous wedding at the Sorrento Hotel. Their wedding coordinator, Kristin Shea, was on top of everything the entire day. Check out the amazing details:

Suzy's dress and accessories were beautiful:

The room the boys were in was filled with dress shirts, cigars and a nice bottle of whiskey:

There wasn't a dry eye in the room during their first kiss:

The Sorrento Hotel has a gorgeous deck that overlooks Seattle, which was a perfect backdrop for the wedding party photos:

Thank you again, Geoff and Suzy!

After much encouragement (that's putting it nicely--it was more like harassment) from my friends and clients, I've finally started a Twitter account! You can start following me by clicking here.

Thanks in advance! :)

Jackson & Chloe

One of the things I love most about my job is watching my clients turn into families.

I knew Donna and JP when they were dating...


then I photographed their engagement...


then their wedding...


and now I'm photographing their twins!

Jackson and Chloe are 6 months old and so full of life.



Jackson is quite the little flirt...


and Chloe is such a sweetheart.


Thank you Donna and JP for allowing me to share in all the wonderful moments in your lives! :)
