Hi, come in. This is where I share the full stories behind the sessions, and if you read enough of them, you'll start to notice something: a lot of the same names keep showing up. Engagements turn into weddings turn into maternity sessions turn into family photos with three kids and a dog. After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

A Mount Rainier Sunrise Engagement Session | Noble Knob Trail, Washington
A pre-sunrise hike up Noble Knob, Mount Rainier filling the sky, a shoe swap from hiking boots to heels at the summit, and a dog named Rainey who was completely unbothered by all of it. Nichole and Ash's engagement session was exactly the kind of morning that reminds you why you set the alarm.
Rustic Romance at the Edge of Yellowstone | Union Pacific Dining Lodge | West Yellowstone, Montana
A rustic lodge wedding at the edge of one of the most breathtaking places on earth, an inflatable flamingo named Fred with a love story behind him, Artist Paint Pots at dawn, Yellowstone Falls in all its glory, and a bison herd that made a very memorable exit from the park. This one had everything. Oh — and a very important reminder to keep your distance from bison. Please.
Mount Rainier Elopement with Family and Friends | Intimate National Park Wedding in Washington
Dan and Karli gathered their closest family and friends and hiked up to a viewpoint at Mount Rainier National Park, said something simple and sweet and completely meant it, then walked back down and shared sandwiches, cake, and cold Rainier beers together.
A Rainy January Elopement at Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park in January is not for everyone. Devyin and Val are exactly the kind of people it is for. Rain, snow, a waterfall, and vows so soaked through they were barely legible. One of my favorite days.
Full Circle at the Mountain | Mary + David's Maternity Session | Mount Rainier National Park
Some sessions feel like a full circle moment. Mary and David's maternity shoot at Mount Rainier National Park was one of those. I photographed their wedding in San Francisco years ago, and here we were again, this time with a baby on the way and one of the most dramatic mountain backdrops in the Pacific Northwest.
