    Gorgeous Riverside Maternity Session

    I first met Lindsay in elementary school. We bonded over the fact that we were both badass gingers. Now after a long and difficult journey, she and her husband Matt are parents to a precious little bundle named Reece. A few weeks before Reece made her earth side appearance, Lindsay and Matt got up at the crack of dawn to come meet me near my home in Nisqually, WA to take some maternity photos by the Nisqually river. This early Spring morning we actually had some sunlight and

    7 Reasons Why Everyone Should Have a Newborn Session

    I get it... Newborn photography can feel unnecessary or excessive in the midst of EVERYTHING you have to prep, buy, and child proof. However, just like a wedding day - this is a once in a lifetime moment! No matter how many children you have, meeting them for the first time is incredible. I never had a newborn session with my daughter and I regret it so much! That brief, precious time is full of so much love and they grow up faster than you'd ever imagine. Having a profession

    Adam & Beth's Beautiful Fall Wedding

    I have known Adam and Beth for a few years now. They are two amazing people who truly feel complete together. After shooting their engagement session earlier last year I absolutely could not wait for their wedding! They are the kind of couple who make a perfect team. They constantly challenge and inspire each other, and every person who knows them knows that they belong together. Now to this beautiful wedding! It was a wet and foggy Pacific Northwest morning in October 2018.

    How Almost Dying Saved My Life

    Warning: Long Story - Made as Short as Possible Let’s be real, I’m terrible at sharing myself with the world. I have shot so many amazing sessions this year and can not wait to blog about each and every one, but I feel like this one needs to be first. Understanding who I am will help you to understand my work. It will help you to understand why I’m fervently passionate about what I do, sharing it with the world, and making people happy for a living. I didn’t always have this

    8 Tips for a Successful Family Session

    Last weekend I did my very first mini sessions, and I must say, they turned out perfectly. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I couldn’t have asked for a better day, better light, or better clients. It was awesome! I was initially a little worried about my mini sessions. I have been researching and thinking about doing them for years, but always let the horror stories from other photographers hold me back. Such a silly thing for me to do! Some people love doing them, some hate

    Day Trip to Vashon Island

    I am not a very negative person these days. I generally go with the flow, wherever that takes me. Stress free, and ready to take on each day. However, I did have a day last week where I was very down. When I told my boyfriend I wanted to go back to bed for the rest of the day, he decided a day trip might be better for my mental health. He told me to grab a strong drink and he would drive, so off we went. He took me to Vashon Island and we had an amazing day wandering around t

    Amelia's Fresh 48

    A "Fresh 48" is what we call a photo shoot done within the first 48 hours of life. I did my first one last week, and I fell in love with it. It might be my favorite thing to do. #olympiaphotographer #olympia #photography #weddingphotogapher #familyphotographer #babyphotographer #newbornphotographer #fresh48 #hospitalphotography #familyshoot #lifestyleshoot #filmlook #cherishshanellphotography #2018 #amelia #brother #bigbrotherandbaby #newborn #bunnyhat #baby #hospitalsession
