Engagement | Brenda & Reilly

The first engagement photo shoot I had ever done was with my cousin Brenda and her fiance. Taking the photos was definitely way different than what I had ever done before – but I learned a lot and we had a great time and got some great photos!
Although they are just now getting married, Brenda and Reilly have been together for as long as I can remember. It makes me so happy to see them as incredibly happy as they are now that they have decided to make it official. I couldn't be more excited for more engagement shoots with happy couples in the future!

Winter Winds | The Deer Kids

I'm excited and happy to say that my first photoshoot with a family was successful!
Little AJ in his adorable mustache sweater was beyond photogenec, and I was amazed at how much everyone in this family has grown – physically but also as a person – since the last time I'd spent time with them.
Julie had the idea to use Christmas lights and wrap herself and her brother and sister in the lights, so I got out the extension cords and brought out the Christmas lights in the middle of downtown Olympia! We had a blast and got some amazing photographs for their mom's present.
I am also happy to say that the finished product (Julie and her siblings printed some of the photos and framed them) made Misty cry. I love you guys! Thank you for asking me to be a part of your wonderful gift to your mom this season.
