On the day of Mia and Alejandro’s wedding, I found myself in a glorious English garden.  Where was I you ask? Mia’s Mother’s home in Olympia, Washington! Filled with Bougainvillea, Thistles, and the most gorgeous flower arrangements.  Not to mention that all her neighbors were also proficient gardeners.  So this secluded spot made for the […]

Discovery Park is one of my all time favorite parks in Seattle. It covers a huge chunk of the Magnolia neighborhood. And making it even better, it was old abandoned houses, beaches, and fields full of flowers. What more can a lady ask for? Sushmitha and Yatin met when they were both working for Unilever […]

I’ve lived in Port Orchard almost 6 months now.  But 3 of those months were spent traveling to Arizona for weddings. Now that I’m back, I’m exploring and finding new beauty at every turn.

“I come to you not as a empty person needing you to fill me, but as a whole person, made whole by Christ.” Greg made this pronouncement to Megan during the couple’s ceremony at Calvery Baptist Church in Tacoma, Washington. I love this because it is the true epitome of  a strong foundation.  When we are […]

Hey friends! This post is different then my usual. And that’s because I went on a trip to visit and spend time with some of my best friends! And I even got in front of the camera with those friends. Say whhaaa??? Okay it’s not that big of a deal, but as a photographer I am rarely […]

“I never thought I’d find someone whose weirdness fit my weirdness perfectly.”   I totally identify with this, don’t you?! Because we all have our crazy quirks (like how I have 7 pets, and love watching shows like 90 Day Fiance and My 600 pound life), and really, our perfect mate is that person that is […]
