Love letters to my wonderful clients and their amazing wedding days.
Pride Cake Smash!
With all the ugliness surrounding the Supreme Court's decision in the cake baker case I decided I wanted to do something positive to counter it. So I cooked up a plan with some friends and enlisted the magic baking hands of South Fork Cake Co who made the most amazing cake I think I've ever seen. My good friends Alex & Chad then proceeded to smash it into each others faces in the most adorable way.
What a difference a year makes.
One year. 365 days. 525,600 minutes. How do you measure a year?
One year ago I brought home my first ever dog. Yes he was Tim’s also but he was the first dog I’d ever had that was mine. I was so happy. I didn’t think my heart could contain my love for him. Which is why it hurt all the more less than two months later when it broke.
So long sunshine
been in Spain for the past 8 days. First was 4 days in Barcelona and then 4 days in Alicante. Barcelona was the "do things" part and Alicante was the "do nothing" part and they both fulfilled their tasks dutifully. Now I have to leave 80 degree sunsoaked weather tomorrow to head back to 60 and rainy weather in Seattle.
Homeward bound!
I'm sitting in Seatac Airport just now waiting for my flight to London and then Glasgow to go home to visit family.
Kelly & Moto take the dog park by storm!
One of the things I wanted to do to honor my pup Kirby who passed away last year was to work with a rescue organisation in his name. To that end I've been working with Forgotten Dogs Rescue for the past six months, attending their adoption events and also doing one on one portrait sessions with some of their pups.

Leo & Ruby turn ONE! // Seattle Family Photography
It seems crazy that just over a year ago I was doing maternity photos for my good friends Jesse and Angela, then just two short weeks after the babies arrived!
Day Trip to the Peninsula
On Saturday I had to go to Sequim to go over some last minute details for Lauren & Paul's wedding this coming weekend and so I decided to make a day of it and return to a couple places I haven't been in almost a decade: Hurricane Ridge & Dungeness Spit.
National Puppy Day!
Today is National Puppy Day so of course I had to make a post celebrating my pup, Loki.
Forgotten Dogs Rescue
One of the things I said I'd do in my quest to "be the person your dog thinks you are" is to volunteer with a local shelter or rescue. When we were in touch about adopting a dog from them I also asked Forgotten Dogs Rescue if they needed any photography, since I don't have a whole lot of their skills to offer.

Loki went to the dog park for the first time!
Laidback shoot with Lizz - Seattle Portrait Photographer
One of the things I said I would do more of when I set out on my quest to "be the person your dog thinks you are" is that I would do more shoots for myself.
4/5 - How long?
I picked up my first camera in the summer of 2007 with some birthday money. I shot as a hobby for years, landscapes was my jam. I steadily invested in gear until in 2014 I bought my first portrait lens and since then I've been hooked.
PhotoLush - Engagement session workshop
Last weekend I attended PhotoLush, a 2 day intensive photography networking, hands on conference extravaganza.
