A week on the Columbia & Snake Rivers with UnCruise Adventures for 1859 Magazine

Growing up in Oregon with travel-happy parents meant I spent a lot of time exploring all of the state’s interesting places. It’s not often that I find an Oregon adventure that I haven’t done (thanks mom and dad!), but this trip was an exception! And what an amazingly unique adventure it was! 1859 Magazine asked me to […]

Emma + Ness // IslandWood Wedding Photography, Seattle

Oh my goodness, I think I’ve found my all time favorite wedding venue – IslandWood! I’d happily photograph every wedding here! It’s an environmental education center (which is extra special for me since I used to be an environmental educator), and the grounds are nestled in the forests of Bainbridge Island. This spot held special […]

The Snuggle is Real // Portland Lifestyle Photography

This is what I love – capturing the magic and joy of childhood: the snuggles, silliness, tickles, and giggles! Watching these girls genuinely love on each other just melts me. They sure do serve up a whole lot of cute!

A cuddly baby photo session on Bainbridge Island

Last week I spent a few days on Bainbridge Island to visit this little one’s family. I love Bainbridge so much! I could definitely live there – small town feel with easy access to Seattle. Perfect! Anyway, I was lucky enough get lots of cuddling time with 8-month-old Alden. He was being such a cutie-pie hanging out […]
