A full post dedicated to my film scans from our stay at the

We had such an amazing time getting to explore this side of the mountains for a weekend. Lord of the Rings have been my comfort movies recently, always on in the background while cleaning, editing, etc.

After seeing some clips of I realized I need to get more on that level of lotr lore, so I’ve been rereading the books as well. I must have gone on one too many rants max style, because .la.ke and booked me a stay here for my 30th birthday.

We loved every little detail, we loved the 2 feet of snow along the walk up, we loved the huge hobbit hole door, and we loved the view of the ‘Shire’ even more. I could wake up to a snow covered mountain sunrise every day.

We’ll have to stay again during the summer so we can see more of the Shire, and sit outside in the grass savoring a glass in wine country.

When Pride & Prejudice meets 70’s summer Pacific Northwest romance.

Moody, soft, quiet Spring days are right around the corner.

This summer-fall is nearly booked out, but I still have availability on my calendar for March-June! You don’t need to book a year in advance for many small weddings / elopements, and I loooove to provide input on your wedding plans to help make your vision a reality 🖤

Can’t wait to skip up to the mountains and to the coast this year, for long drives with sad girl music, and one too many coffee’s to kick my introverted self into hyper-creativity mode.

The Olympic National Park is my favorite place to photograph weddings, elopements, and portraits.

Moss covered thousand year old trees, dark and winding roads, elk meandering just off the trails, powerful coastlines that make us feel small, and a quiet that we don’t experience often anymore.

It’s heaven for the quietly poetic, romantic souls like mine.

2024 was a time of fluctuation and rebuilding, and I felt 2025 would be the year of finding grooves and stability, but I’m not so sure. I’m entering 2025 knowing who I am, more than ever, but still unsettled.

In 2024, I left my corporate job to fully invest in the art that sets my heart on fire.

I took some of my favorite photos I have ever taken, booked elopements that changed my life, had some photo plans fall out from under me, and met so many new people. I overhauled my website (again) to match my vision in what my business means to me and where it’s going.

Blake and I traveled to New York and did bagels in Greenwich, coffee in Central Park, cursing at a Rangers game, falling in love at the Met, and everything in between.

Ophelia and I went paddle boarding at the lake countless times and good wine, cheese, and olives basically became my entire personality.

Shey and I got to see Noah Kahn at the Gorge this summer.

My mom was diagnosed with AND beat breast cancer this year. I also had a breast cancer scare.. but my cancer journey ended at my biopsy, while my mom’s cancer journey continued.

We went to Disneyland (twice!!) this year.

Blake and I had a weekend in Hawaii to celebrate friends and memories.

And I explored more of our state that we love so much.

I don’t have a good way to end this 2024 wrap up, other than it truly was full of the ups and downs I expected, even if the content of those ups and downs was impossible to predict. I wish I was entering 2025 more settled than I currently am, maybe because I turn 30 in a couple of weeks, with so many items on my checklist that I don’t know how or when are going to be checked. But I’m torn with how much I’ve achieved that I am thankful for, and the feeling that I haven’t given enough.

Maybe this is just 30, maybe this is 2025, maybe this is being an entrepreneur. I am so thankful for the countless moments full of love 2024 brought me, but I’m still trying to find comfort in the unknown going into 2025.

Your people 🖤

Since it’s 2025, let’s talk about services!

I am frequently asked what type of weddings I photograph. But truthfully, I photograph any wedding & elopement that has quiet & romantic connection at the heart of it.

I am my most creative and authentic self in smaller groups of people and when the weather is ‘bad’. That’s why I primarily photograph elopements out in Olympic National park. But I photograph all weddings that share a love for moody, intimate imagery.

- backyard weddings (a favorite)
- adventure elopements
- traditional venues
- nontraditional venues

Serving 2-200 people per wedding, in Washington, Oregon, and anywhere you’d like to send me too.

Finally getting around to sharing these?

My social media can be all over the place as I go through swings of focusing on everything else OTHER than instagram. But how good does a little rainy portrait session around Pike Place sound right now? ✨🖤

Mt. Rainier can give you all kinds of weather.

On a summer day, being up in the clouds makes sunrise a little more magical. The fog absorbing sound, making the hills cozily calm, like you’re the only people on this planet 💫
