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.

Why Choosing a Studio Can Be a Huge Win for Family Photos
Choosing where to take family photos can feel overwhelming—especially in the Pacific Northwest, where weather and logistics are always a factor. While outdoor sessions are beautiful, studio sessions are an often-overlooked option that offer so much ease and flexibility, particularly for families with young kids. With consistent light, a comfortable indoor environment, and a timeless, minimal backdrop, studio sessions allow us to focus on what matters most: connection. No worrying about rain, wind, or chilly temperatures—just relaxed, genuine moments that translate into images you’ll love year-round. If you’re craving family photos that feel natural, intimate, and stress-free, a studio session might be the perfect fit.
