Meet Caleb. His sweet family and I became instant friends (through the help of a mutual friend) and right off the bat, I was impressed by Caleb. He loves the Lord more than anything, he is a leader to his younger brothers and those around him, and he is more determined than most kids his […]
I will be honest, shooting high school seniors makes me sweat. I get nervous and start feeling really old and saying stupid things…more than normal. But then I got the chance to photograph Jonathan. Even though I have known him and his family for sometime, setting out for our shoot was a whole new ball […]
Meet Ryan. He plays tennis like a boss and rocks those piano keys in the band. His sense of humor of is on point and he was SO easy to photograph! My favorite part about our evening? I barely had to help him prepare for a photo. He was straight zoolander and just knew what to […]
meet abby. when I think about what a happy person looks like, she is one of the first people to come to my mind. she…is just a giant ball of sunshiney joy no matter what is going on. and I adore that about her. we joked about having her fly over from the states (like […]

this is leasa. she is gorgeous…inside and out. she is witty with the perfect touch of sarcasm and not afraid to ask questions. no matter where i asked her to go stand as we wandered the streets of tacoma, she just knew how to work it. “stand on top of that wall” or “kneel next […]
all he wanted to do was play. first with a bouncy ball and then just ‘guys’. he would take a break from saving the world to give me the most handsome smile ever but then quickly throw himself back into the world of pretend play. i loved it. he even let me play. i was […]
one taste was all it took. just like diet coke, i am addicted. i feel like yelling “slideshows for everyone!” at the top of my lungs as if i were serving them at a restaurant. there something so so so special about these things…they seem to mean SO much to the people who receive them. […]
