I only like brides who throw their heads back with abandon when they laugh.

My dance card is almost full for 2023 weddings. I have only 2 weekend dates available still. Saving them for the perfect pair. Is it you?

And then there were 4.

R got a little baby brother for Christmas and I got to witness the magic of their family growing.

Getting to come back year after year to photograph a family is such a privilege. Sometimes I feel like an out of town-auntie who visits annually and can't get over how much the kids have grown. It's like catching up with old friends. Thank you, Jeff and Nicole.

Go ahead, tell me how un-photogenic your family is

Go ahead, tell me how un-photogenic your family is. Tell me how there's nothing that interesting about your life or your home.

I'll show you. The way the light falls. the way you look at each other. the way the dog looks at you. His early steps and chubby cheeks (trust me, they won't be around forever).

There are so many layers of beauty in your everyday. Trust me. If you want to see for yourself, send me a message about booking a Love Your Life Storytelling session. I promise you'll want to remember it all someday.

I photograph thresholds. Life transitions of all kinds.
Transformation and becoming.

This session is how I measure my success of 2022. The most weighty, meaningful session of the year. There are a lot of ways to measure a life, a year: by what you made, what you earned, how busy you were, what you accomplished. Or by who you loved. Who loved you. Who and how you served.

Ann reached out to me to photograph their extended family vacation together on the Hood Canal. They had made the plans long before her stepmom, Susan got the cancer diagnosis. When the time came, she was already on hospice. Susan and her family were walking the sacred ground of imminent death. They knew it, they talked about it, they didn't shy away from it. A marvel and miracle. Susan told me about the gifts her diagnosis brought, the clarity, how she wanted quality, not quantity of life. They were full of joy being together and I sensed so much radical acceptance of each other despite differences in age, practice, personality.

Getting to capture these photographs for their family meant the world to me. It was truly an honor. A little while ago I got an email from Ann saying Susan had passed. After spending just a few hours with her I know that she will be deeply missed by so many, that she loved and served many and her light was very bright. Even while on hospice she was vibrant and full of life and joy.

I'm beyond thankful for meaningful work like this, and for clients that invite me in and trust me with their intimate lives.

Rest in Peace, Susan

I am letting the new year wash over me very, very

I am letting the new year wash over me very, very slowly. I don't want to get caught up by intertia into doing things that might not be the right path. But before I move forward into all the hopes and intentions for this new year, I want to reflect and sit in gratitude for the last year. As a small business owner, the last few years have been incredibly hard. I'm so grateful that the right clients keep finding me and trusting me. Thank you. Thank you.

Advent. Waiting for a sign, a light in darkness.
