This wedding was AMAZING.  Kalli and Mazi were so stunning, calm, and enamored with one another and it just made the day even more dreamy than the location already set the stage for.  Their wedding took place at Red Barn Studios in Chehalis and from the big red doors, all the way to the gorgeous sunflowers, it made for a chic and relaxed event.  It was a photographer’s dream!  Congratulations, lovebirds!

My sweet friends had their baby last week and I was just thrilled to be able to capture his tiny self and his new big brothers.  Their house is so cool and colorful, so it was the perfect backdrop for this trendy babe (and all that hair!) to get his first photos.  He is just adorable and I could have photographed him all day.  I seriously love love love my job.

I’m so excited to kick off this Sunny Summer with such a sweet family!  They were a joy to photograph–and their littlest firecracker had me rolling because she could not stay still– I wish I had her energy!  It was the perfect family session for a perfect evening.

I was so excited to photograph this family once again!  Their daughter is just darling (with the best nicknames ever), and I always love that we can reminisce about how much we miss eating at Chick-fil-A in Georgia since we have both transplanted from there.  These pictures just speak JOY to me and I can’t tell you how much I love having them as clients!  The color in these photos makes me super happy.

I met this sweet family (as a then newly married couple) shortly after we moved to the Northwest and down the street from them 9 years ago.  They really are the kindest people you could ever meet–they even went so far as to let us use their Hot Shower during that dreadful power outage in the Winter of 2006!   And seriously, I really can’t believe this HOT Mama has had FOUR babies (I will never forget their Angel Baby Cooper).  Thanks, Johnson Family!  You are beautiful and I feel so blessed that you chose me to capture this moment in time.
