PHOTO JOURNAL
Most treasured moments are never captured by the camera or posted to social media platforms. They are often kept private and cherished collectively by the people experiencing the love. This journal is a small peek into a few treasured moments that I have been lucky enough to capture. It’s an amazing gift to share little bits and pieces of their hearts with you and an honor to have photographed them. I hope you take the time to explore this body of work and find inspiration of your own.

Stevens Family | Foggy Winter Session along the Tacoma Waterfront
Occasionally, sessions in the Pacific Northwest can be affected by fog or smoke, causing some client concerns about the impact on their photography. Despite potential weather challenges, I love to embrace the unique, soft, diffused look created by the conditions, especially when the sun illuminates clients in a dreamy way above low clouds. In the case of the Stevens family's Thanksgiving session, they braved the cold weather, resulting in a picturesque and memorable experience along the Tacoma Waterfront.
Brian & Jessica | Tacoma Spring Cherry Blossom Engagement Session
In 2023 I took on three weddings, all from friends and past clients who I’d had a relationship with previously. Getting the chance to honor their commitments to each other made these opportunities so much more meaningful to me. I don’t market myself as a wedding photographer, instead I focus on family relationships, but when I get to be included in the larger context of my clients story it feels so much more fulfilling to me. My interaction with clients is no longer just about the wedding day, it becomes more about how I can celebrate them in marriage. I get the opportunity to fit into the larger context of who these individuals are and THAT is what makes me happiest.
