Coleman + Marshall Wedding — PNW Wedding Photographer
Early Spring of 2018, Cameron messaged me on Facebook to ask me if I’d be the photographer for his wedding with Annie scheduled for October.

Piper’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash — Tacoma Children’s Portrait Photographer
Oh, little Piper Ann. I seriously cannot believe it’s been a year since your mommy and daddy brought you home from Arizona.

Norbe Family Documentary Session – Gig Harbor Family Photographer
With the documentary sessions, I am hands off. I’m there to capture your every day, playing and loving each other. Some families share a meal, enjoy the beach, have a campfire. Documentary is the realness and rawness of life.
Gustafson Family – University Place Family Photographer
Melissa is a busy mom with two busy girls and a busy husband. She knew her family couldn’t hold on for my full hour session at a park somewhere, so she requested a short, in-home session. I. Love! It. She knows her family’s limits and didn’t want to push it.
