David & Marie {baby bump}

Posted in Maternity, Portraits

David & Marie are the sweetest couple and Stephen Giang and I were honored to capture the experience of carrying their very first child. We shot this series in the cozy comfort of their home.

While this is their first baby bump, this isn’t their first “baby”. Meet Casper the friendly Great Dane His bewildered expression here is probably the first of many to come haha…

Congratulations to David and Marie, who gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy named Toren! Best wishes & all the love in the world to your growing family! <3

For those of you wondering, I do offer a discount package for booking a maternity + newborn session, contact me for details!

Pursuit31 wedding { candyland adventures }

Posted in Weddings

What do you get when you put 15 women of God in pursuit of epic wedding photos, excellence in business and life, and a weekend in Tacoma together? You get Pursuit31 Seattle. Words can’t express how much this 2-day retreat blessed and energized me for the coming year. Day 1 flew by as we talked about our dreams, the business, and hopes for next year. Day 2 kicked off with a model wedding shoot that absolutely blew everyone away. Thanks to the vision of Pursuit31 founder Karen Stott and our Seattle chapter lead Latasha Haynes, their creative vision of Candyland Adventures came to life. I can’t even begin to describe in words how incredible our gorgeous models, vendors, and locations were… so I’ll just show you.

I absolutely LOVED these custom designed dresses from Ouma. How perfect for our theme!

Every gorgeous detail in the reception space was handcrafted by our incredible retreat organizers so that we could practice getting publication-level images.

Special thanks to our instructor Karen Stott and all the other wonderful ladies of Pursuit 31, whose combined posing directions and skills contributed to the images here. And of course, this event wouldn’t have been possible without our truly amazing vendors:

Leslie & Josh { happily ever after }

Posted in Weddings

This fall I had the opportunity to be part of the celebration of Leslie and Josh in sight of family, friends, and God. Their love for one another and their Lord and Savior shone brightly and tenderly lingers in the hearts of all who were there to witness their union.

Very cool sidenote… after we finished the First Look, the manager of the apartment building next door approached us and offered to let us up on their roof to get these epic photos. What a blessing!

After a round of photos at the Seattle Public Library, the wedding party headed back to City Church in Belltown to prepare for the ceremony.

Quite possibly the sweetest exit vehicle I’ve ever seen

Congratulations, Leslie & Josh! Thank you for the honor of being able to capture the beginning of a beautiful journey together. Much love!
