Papago Park {Cade + Carrie} Phoenix Engagement Photographer
My husband Adam + I both have pretty flippin’ amazing families.
Mine lives in Eugene, his lives in Salem/ Tuscon. It isn’t always easy to have people you love so far away, but visiting is always a whole lot of fun! While in Tuscon visiting Adam's parents a few weeks back I caught up with my cousin Carrie + her fiance Cade. They actually live in San Diego at the moment, and were on their way back home from visiting family in Colorado. We met up at Papago Park in Phoenix, and let me tell ya these desert colors are to die for!! Living in the northwest is beautiful, but the soft airy feel of the dessert is something I have always desired to shoot.
I'm sure happy for these 2, and can't wait to shoot their wedding next year in Colorado!

Alki Beach West Seattle {Gavin + Hannah} Seattle Engagement Photographer
I first met with Gavin + Hannah last Spring and I was completely flattered by Hannah's kind words about my work, she absolutely loved it. I of course fell in love with these two as well over a little coffee. They are both very easy going and fun to hang with. I was looking forward to photographing their engagement session...
Three months later, I will admit I was a little nervous, as rain was hitting my windshield with force. I was on my drive over to West Seattle to meet these two for their engagement shoot. After all, we had scheduled the engagement session in late summer, and I had pictured a beautiful clear skied dusk photo shoot, with beautiful glowing light. I of course wanted to knock this one out of the park, because I felt I wanted to make Hannah happy! I was about to call the whole thing off, but when we met the rain had let up a bit, and like true Seattle dwellers, they were not afraid of a little rain. They even said they welcomed it, because it would make their engagement shoot more authentic Seattle. So, we went for it! I am so glad we did too. I am pretty stoked with how their engagement photos turned out and can't wait for their wedding next April. ENJOY!
