I have lived in Washington my whole life and this beautiful, evergreen state has been fueling my creativity and love for the outdoors for as long as I can remember. I always tell people that my journey into elopement photography has been such a natural and organic one. I was raised in a small town at the foothills of the Cascade Range where I spent most of my early life exploring the forest on my parent's property, hiking local trails, spending long days at quiet river spots and just feeling a constant connection to my surroundings. When I discovered photography, I had that beautiful, all-encompassing “ah ha” moment. Combining my two passions to create my business has truly given me the most beautiful and rewarding life I could have ever imagined. 

When I'm not documenting love stories, you can find me hiking with friends, visiting national parks, reading thrillers, rewatching Bob's Burgers for the 30th time, snuggling with my dog, doing yoga (hot hatha is my fav), traveling with my husband and listening to music!

You're probably here because you feel for the world, your love, this life in all the same ways I do. You're an adventurer. You see the beauty in the smallest moments and are always chasing the high of the adventure. You romanticize our beautiful, fleeting time on this earth and cherish your time with your loved ones so deeply. You feel most alive hand in hand with the love of your life, turning up the music on the long car drives, not sure where you're heading but still feeling completely at home right there with each other.

Your 27 year old, dog loving, hike obsessed, blundstone wearing, Noah Kahn on repeat, look at the moon kinda photographer
