Second Beach Engagement
This beautiful engagement session in La Push took place at one of my favorite spots on the Washington coast—Second Beach. The stunning hike in is less than a mile of mossy forest leading to a short, steep staircase down to the beach. Right off the shoreline, the views are made even more dramatic by rocky islands and an amazing view of the sunset!
Rosario Beach Engagement
Rosario Beach is one of my favorite spots for engagement shoots on Fidalgo Island, near Anacortes, Washington. It’s part of Deception Pass State Park, and the trails are moderately difficult but relatively short loops with rewarding views. If you love tide pools, island views, and dramatic cliffsides then you should consider visiting Rosario Beach!
Bellingham Beach Engagement Photos
Bellingham has many beaches that make the perfect backdrop for engagement photos! This one, Locust Beach, has a long shoreline with views of the city of Bellingham that shine at sunset and Lummi Island to the north.
June Proposal at Mount Rainier
This early summer proposal took place at Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park on a typically snowy day in June. The couple, who had traveled up from a warm climate and lower elevation were amazed by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest!
Skinny Dipping in an Alpine Lake
A beautiful queer couple strip down to their matching Calvin Klein underwear and have a romantic swim in a North Cascades alpine lake.
Love and Sand Dunes in Brookings
The day before these two got married, we explored the Oregon coast just north of Brookings and enjoyed an afternoon on the beach amongst the sand dunes.
Anniversary Session in Bellingham
July is Disability Pride Month, and I’ve never been more proud of anything than I am of how Dillen has adapted since becoming an amputee after a traumatic bike accident. He works harder than anyone I know to make his days as good as possible under circumstances he never imagined for his life. So this is a celebration of my love <3
Engagement at Mount Baker
Early June is an odd time to be in the mountains in Washington state—the peaks are still inaccessible & covered in snow, ski season has passed but summer hiking season hasn’t quite started—and the result is a quiet atmosphere with near total privacy! If you’re flexible to account for transition season weather, June in the mountains is truly remarkable.
Sunset at Locust Beach in Bellingham
A quick couple’s session at Locust Beach in Bellingham, Washington to celebrate 6 years together! E & H come from entirely different corners of the world—she from England, he from Ohio. But they’ve found common ground in the PNW living a life full of adventure!
Mountain Cabin Family Photos
It’s not often I do family sessions, but I always love them! Family sessions are an opportunity to relax and show your silly sides, not pose for photos like this is JC Penny’s in the 90s. We want to see your real, authentic selves! Extra bonus points if you bring your dog.
Anniversary Photos at Fragrance Lake in Bellingham
R & D chose Fragrance Lake for their anniversary session because it was one of the few hikes off Chuckanut Drive they had not yet done since moving to Bellingham a few months prior. It was a perfect, sunny afternoon and we only saw a few other people the whole time we were hiking!
Engagement Photos at White Sands National Park
E & B chose White Sands for their engagement photo session because it was actually their first choice of a wedding venue. But, when they realized getting all their favorite humans together in the remote park would prove too difficult, they still wanted to honor their love of wild desert spaces.
Steamy Hot Tub Couples Session
This “steamy session” in a natural hot spring tub is such a beautifully intimate portrait into a moment with this incredible couple. Would you ever consider doing a steamy couples session!?
Vanlife Adventure in Breckenridge, Colorado
Ariana & Taylor are the cutest little family traveling the US with their dog Nelson in a custom camper trailer! I met up with them for the afternoon in Breckenridge, Colorado at the height of the season to witness Aspens changing color. Surrounded by golden trees and a stunning view at the Peak One Campground, I documented a moment in this family’s adventurous life.
Washington Coast Adventure
This adventurous couples session on the Washington coast was a bonus adventure to K & T’s wedding weekend. We explored the rocky beaches of the Olympic Peninsula the day before these two got married at Cape Flattery – they truly got to see the best of the PNW during their weekend elopement!
Oregon Waterfall Couples Session
This couples session at Latourell Falls took place at one of my favorite Oregon waterfall hikes! Did you know there are more than 200 amazing waterfalls in Oregon that you can hike out to?! They make the perfect backdrop for your engagement, elopement or small outdoor wedding!
Astoria Couples Session
This Astoria, Oregon couples session began on the coast near the Peter Iredale shipwreck - we explored along the mossy coastal forests & then went downtown to Astoria historic waterfront shops & adventured amongst the beautiful old buildings!
