He first saw her at the Cal Poly Crops Club Intramural kickball game, and called ‘dibs’ that he saw her first to his buddies. Alyssa noticed Sammy too, specifically how he was wearing hiking boots to play kickball that night.

This post is extra special because it happens to be with one of my nieces! Zoe is one of our three nieces and nephews that will be graduating high school this spring. For her senior portratis, Zoe came to Spokane, which was such a treat! And also, because her mom, dad, and Uncle Allan joined the shoot, and made for THE best entourage!

A few months back, on a warm spring evening, I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Megan Perkins and Diane Holm. Megan is a wildly talented artist here in Spokane, and Diane is a product stylist who works her magic creating beautiful imagery for local businesses and entrepreneurs. It was an absolute treat to […]

Last weekend was way too much fun! Not going to lie, I’m still recovering a bit. And by recovering I mean, still dreaming about the delicious food we had and trying NOT to worry so much about how my pants now fit just a bit tighter after this weekend.     We had my parents […]

One of the things I’m frequently asked is “What’s your favorite lens?” so I thought it’d be fun to share mine with you on the blog today! And although I have several lenses I use and love for a variety of reasons (especially on a wedding shoot!), the lens I reach for THE most is […]

Whew! Perhaps you’re just recently engaged and over the moon ecstatic about upcoming newlywed life, or maybe this finds you in the dating pool and you find yourself wondering if the ‘one’ is really out there for you.
