Seniors | BWU

A little late in the year for senior photos, and a little (or a lot) late for posting it, but I took a second set of senior portraits downtown for this beautiful young lady!

Brittany brought along one of her best friends and the three of us had a blast walking around taking photos.

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.

Winter Winds | BFF Sunday

Photoshoot/coffee date in downtown Olympia with my best friend! It was incredibly cold, but the weather was absolutely perfect for photos and coffee and a walk around the lake.

Seniors | Emma Moore

Meet Emma Moore, Norwegian exchange student at Capital High School. She's kind, beautiful, down to earth, gentle, talented, and many other wonderful things! It was a pleasure working with her and her wonderful host mother who came along. Her smile is absolutely stunning, even in the freezing fall weather!

Seniors | Mikayla Lawrence

Autumn in Olympia has usually been rainy and stormy and there are very little opportunities for fall photoshoots with the colors of the leaves, however this year it has been absolutely beautiful! The sun has been out for every photo session but one, and the colors of all of the trees are incredible.
Mikayla and I went to Priest Point park in hope of capturing some of those fall colors in her senior portraits. I love the way these all turned out! Such a beautiful girl – every photo of her is perfect!
