2021 I became a mother. 

This session was so hard for me because I was struggling with my own self consciousness. I took so many photos with a precariously placed tripod and a computer set up to show me the instant results. It was not easy. 

Looking back, I wish I had hired someone to capture these last moments I had of Mason still in my belly. He is almost 2 now and every bit of the personality I expected from the womb is coming out and I love it, but I also miss these moments. The dance parties and the kicks. 

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special moments, whether it’s maternity or well after their birth… send me a message!

I’m excited to announce that I will be at the Olympia Wooden Boat Fair as a vendor and will be setting up a Photo Booth this Mother’s Day weekend offering super mini specials! 

Come see me at Percival Landing in Olympia under the Gazebo to get your Mommy and Me photos done or some quick studio style family portraits!

We started this session with a projector light creating patterns on the model, it wasn’t exactly working for us (kept turning off within seconds of lighting up all the way) so we scrapped the concept, but I’m playing with it in these art edits instead!

Getting back in to photography now that my little is a bit more independent! Shot this for a lighting demo at school in my classroom. A fun way to get back into being creative with a former student @heather.was.here and had @sushimamaglam come to school to give a demo on her career pathway as a makeup artist!

For those of you who may not know, I’ve been teaching photography and graphic design in a high school for the past few years. This year I was asked to do the official media photos for the athletics department. This meant I was responsible for capturing 18 different sports and all their team and individual photos. I brought students along in this journey and taught them a lot about lighting, posing, working with clients, and problem solving when your gear fails. 

At the start of the year we had high hopes to create really fun shoots, but ended up in a time crunch where everyone had to do the same pose and we had enough time to do a few quick captures per person. By the last few teams, we had it down to a science and could give the students a little more freedom.

One of my favorite parts though was capturing the candid moments, like these where the players got to choose their own poses and a few where I caught them laughing at themselves or each other!

I love these moments, the real moments that show the personality of each person! This is true in family photos just as much as athletic photos!

I’m starting to book sessions for spring and summer! Get your session scheduled - message me or click on the link in my bio to see current specials!
