I had so much fun with Alexa and Charlie at Discovery Park! It was a crisp fall day and the sun was out in Seattle! If you have never been to Discovery Park, its a wonderland of trails, trees, fields, sand, water and a light house to top it off. It has miles of trails to discover…..no pun intended! :) Its glorious in the summer and just as beautiful in the fall! I would recommend you get your scarf and hat, grab your doggy and head over for a saturday stroll through the trees, over the bluff and down to the water for lunch. This park absolutely shows off Seattle  and the Great Northwest in the most amazing way…..and it makes for some really fun engagement sessions! I can’t wait for these two to get married!! It will be an amazing day!!

If you are having a vintage inspired, DIY or winery wedding, I would love to hear from you!! Contact me via my Inquires Page and tell me all about your wedding and your story!!

Just a quick sneak peek of Miss Baby Anna’s session. She was only 1 week old and was just sweet as a cupcake! I loved getting to hang out with this fun family of the Tri Cities! 

So these two girls are some of the loveliest in the Tri Cities! They have such a fun friendship…I was so excited to do a BFF Senior Session with them! We headed to Howard Amon Park for our session and we had a blast!!

I met Brittany about a year and a half ago when we moved to the tri cities (to help out with our amazing Tri Cities church, Life Church 7)…a little shameless plug, since I do the website! :) Brittany was super welcoming and befriended us and our kids equally. She’s fun, lovely to be around and one of the kindest people I know. Then add, her dynamic duo BFF, Daicee…crazy lip-syncer, not afraid of anything and loves people! These two are set up to have an incredible friendship for the rest of their lives. I love that!

This shot was one of my faves!! It really captures how fun these two girls are!

I was just dying over these dresses! So gorgeous!! 

Brittany has been such a sweet friend to my little Estelle…we are so thankful for her investing in our daughters life and heart! Estelle was super excited to be my assistant on this shoot…anything for Brittany!!

I knew there was something special about Angelika & Ethan when we first met them up in Leavenworth at the Ski Hill to shoot their engagement photos. They are just kind, fun people…who happened to be in love with each other. They were game to climb hills of snow and stuff….so I knew they would be  wonderful to work with on their wedding day…and of course I was correct!

I loved starting out their day at a vacation home right on Hood Canal, called Sky’s Landing. It was full of light, right on the water and had a wonderful, but not overdone beachy theme. I loved it and pretty much could retire in that house without touching a thing. :) *** Brides!!!*** Angelika was a total genius when she booked this vacation home…you should think about doing it too! Find one on the water, somewhat close to your venue and you have a fabulous place for getting ready photos and somewhere for you and your girls to crash the night before the wedding, after the rehearsal dinner.( Another one of my amazing genius brides did this on Lopez Island and it worked like a charm for her as well! Check out her wedding her…one of my favorites from last summer!!! ) 
Not everyone in the world has a great “laughing face”…..but Angelika’s laughing face just lights up a room!!

I LOVED her bejeweled Betsy Johnson sandals…they say…comfy, without sacrificing style!
 I’m in love with the bridesmaid’s minty tiffany blue lace dresses! They were perfect for this outdoor wedding! I am in love with these gorgeous peony bouquets….summery and fun!  I’m so obsessed with local honey and all of its amazing benefits lately…I was so excited when I saw their darling and useful favors!! So fun!! 

If you are planning a wedding in the Walla Walla, Tri Cities or Lake Chelan Area, or (other eastern washington city!) I would love to talk more with you about your wedding day. I Love DIY weddings…and go gaga over all of the amazing little details that you go gaga over too! :) Send me your deets via my inquiries page and lets talk!!

Can the burst suggest an orchestral microprocessor?

I was so excited when I found out that I was going to shoot Jordi & Joseph’s Engagement Session here in the Tri Cities. First of all, its my first winter engagement session here in Richland and I LOVE shooting when the sun is out and no leaves are on trees. Secondly…I was super happy when Joseph mentioned that he ***might*** wear his Navy uniform!  My family and I are so thankful for what our service men and women do to protect our country, its my honor to be able to capture that in our images! I also loved that Joseph was giving this session as a surprise gift to his fiance! Pretty fun!

We met up at what usually is the busiest park in Richland, Howard Amon Park, but lucky for us, it was only 35 degrees out, so there was only a few people in sight. I love this park because of all of the established trees, the water, docks…and….the fingernail. (scroll down…you won’t miss it! Its turquoise!)

I love being able to shoot couples in love…these guys made my job so easy!
