Felix Family Adoption Stories – Seattle Documentary Photographer

Right now is the time when we need family and connection the most but with sessions being postponed and gatherings canceled, my job as a photographer has halted.

Coleman + Marshall Wedding — PNW Wedding Photographer

Early Spring of last year, Cameron messaged me on Facebook to ask me if I’d be the photographer for his wedding with Annie scheduled for October.

Mittleider Newborn Documentary Session & Adoption Story – Seattle Family Photographer

Families created by adoption have a special place in my heart. I am adopted myself so I feel connected to these stories of children being united with their new parents.

Picking a location – PNW Photographer

Locations can be a part of your portrait story, not just a pretty backdrop. But if you don’t have a preference on a location and you’d rather I decide or if you’re from out of town, I’ve complied a brief list of locations around Tacoma with photos and descriptions to help you decide where you want to tell your story.
DuCharme Newborn Session (new baby package, pt 3) – Tacoma Newborn Photographer

Are we allowed to actually have this baby here? At our house? By ourselves? Where’s the nurse? Is. This. Really. OUR. […]
