Cari and Kevin (and the Dogs!) - A Sneak Peek
I had the opportunity to head out to Columbia Park earlier this week for a portrait session with Cari and Kevin and their dogs. We had an awesome time, the weather was perfect, and the fall color was amazing!
Here’s a quick favorite for you - I’ll share more once Cari and Kevin have the chance to see them all.
Alexis and Chris
Alexis and Chris were married on a beautiful August day at the Moore Mansion. Teresa Anderson asked me to come along as a second shooter, and I’m so glad I did! Here are some of my favorites from the day for you.
I’ll start out with one of my absolute favorites - Alexis peeking out the window:
The mansion:
The girls got ready in one of the rooms in the mansion - there was such beautiful light in here!
Alexis’ mom enjoying the portrait session:
Again, I love the light in this room!
And the groom, Chris - I love his expression here!

Lindsay and Bryson - A Story in Pictures
On August 16, which turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year (I think it was 106!), I had the opportunity to work as a second shooter with Teresa Anderson and help her document Lindsay and Bryson’s wedding. What a fantastic time! If you didn’t already see it, make sure to check out the sneak peek I shared.
I’m noticing a trend - I keep sharing more and more images. I can’t help myself. This time I have 51 for you! I can’t bring myself to whittle it down any further. Sorry about the load time, but I hope you enjoy them!
I titled this post “A Story in Pictures,” and I hope these live up to that name. My goal when I’m working as a documentary wedding photographer is to visually tell the story of the day, in the tradition of the great photo essays that used to appear in magazines like Life. I hope I’ve succeeded in doing that.
Here is the same image I shared before, this time in color. I like both versions so much that I decided to post this one as well.
The girls started out at Nouveau Skin Care & Day Spa - what an absolutely stunning place! This is in the room that was provided for the girls to hang out in while they waited their turn in the hair and makeup chairs. Beautiful!
Again, such an amazing place! The light and design in here is a photographer’s dream!

Grandma Lil
My Grandma is here from California, hanging out with my parents for a week. We spent the evening with them yesterday and I had fun capturing her playing with the kids. Enjoy!
Waiting…
Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding with Teresa Anderson, and I had a fantastic time! You can see one of the resulting images in my last post.
After the wedding, Teresa asked me if I would like to second shoot with her again for a wedding the following week. So, I had the opportunity to photograph my fourth wedding last Saturday. I am loving this! I get the opportunity to document one of the most important days in these families’ lives and help them remember what happened on that day. I’m able to stretch myself creatively and make beautiful, emotion-filled images that they will cherish for years. What an honor and a privilege! Teresa, thank you for asking me to come along!
Here is one of my favorite’s from last week’s wedding:
Romance
Here is an image for you from tonight’s wedding. Actually, the wedding was last night, and it’s now early Sunday morning, but I wanted to get this posted before I go to bed. I had a wonderful time and I have some amazing images to show for it - and a very tired body! I just loved this shot of the bride and groom too much to let myself go to sleep before I blogged it!
This post also marks my announcement that I’m redesigning my blog to allow for larger images! Woohoo! This is the first, and as soon as I have the design done, I’ll post large images regularly. Let me know what you think in the comments!
A Wedding Sneak Peek
I had the wonderful opportunity on Saturday to shoot a wedding with Seattle photographer Cory Parris. I know Cory from a photographer’s forum we both belong to, and I’ve admired his work for some time. Needless to say, I was thrilled to be asked to be his second shooter!
Here is one of my favorite images from the day. I’ll share more next week!
Jessica and Mac - A Wedding Story
I had such a wonderful time photographing Jessica and Mac’s wedding! I’ve already posted a few of my favorite images from the day here. If you haven’t seen them yet, go check them out, then come back.
Here are just a few 25 of my favorite images for you to enjoy (yeah, I know - I can never whittle it down to just a few shots - there are always just too many that I love). For even more images, check out the slideshow!
Alright, on to the images! I’ll start with a few of my absolute favorites.
Mac, waiting for his cue. I love the anticipation on his face!
Emma loved being in the wedding!
Jessica, waiting for her ride:
I think kids have more fun dancing than the adults do!

Scrap Happens Anniversary
I had the chance to hang out Wednesday afternoon for the one year anniversary party at Scrap Happens. Here are a few images from the event.
Good eats!
These look really cute! If you’re a scrapbooker, you need to stop by.
Cathy, the owner of Scrap Happens, cuts the anniversary cake while her husband, Jim, serves up the food.
The store held a raffle to win a Cricut cutting machine - those things look really cool! This is Cathy, calling the winner.
The drawing for a portrait session and 30×40 gallery wrap canvas print from me is going to be held tomorrow (Saturday) at six, so if you’re a scrapbooker, or know someone who is, make sure to head over to the store and put your name in! You also have until then to spend some money with Scrap Happens and save on a session with me. Check out the previous post for details!
Blast from the Past - December 23, 2007
Athena’s niece and nephew came over to hang out two days before Christmas. Here are some of my favorites from that evening.
Mmmmm…..pizza!
Kefir loves to ham it up!
