I have been a long time admirer of Janelle Marion of The Chosen Nest and so I absolutely jumped at the chance to work with her this fall season to create some headshots and personal branding images for her to use in her printed and online materials for her business. Janelle has such a passion […]

Halloween holds a special joy and love for my daughter, Rosie. Ever since she was two, Rosie has delighted in this annual tradition – it thrills her even more than Christmas it seems! She chooses a different costume each year, and this year she chose a beautiful princess dress. The dress is so beautiful and […]

This sweet little one was brought to the world with so much love. Mama waited and worked so faithfully to bring her baby safely into the light, that when it became clear that the best possible way for her child to be born was in the operating room she bravely faced this unexpected challenge. Her […]

This mama was daydreaming of cherry blossoms during the snow storm this winter when she contacted me to put her session on the books. We couldn’t plan a specific day then because one never knows exactly when those beautiful blossoms will be out and for how long. Of course, that is the wonderful thing about […]

What a fun way to celebrate ONE! Mama made Milo’s first cake, and we moved their dining room table out of the way to create this beautiful space, right in their own home.

Big changes ahead for this sweet family! Changes that include a change of scenery for their home port, and so to celebrate their time here in the PNW we arranged a family session at Point No Point beach. Around the same time last year we did a session when their little one was about to […]

We had a grand time catching up and chatting, visiting the local science museum and playing games together! I was able to grab some more photo souvenirs of this beautiful family before I left and […]
