This is my friend Sara!  I’ve known Sara since kindergarten at Sacajawea Elementary, and she was one of my closest friends growing up!  So many good stories here involving beanie babies…HAHA!  Sara and Kyle are new parents to Everleigh, who was a micropreemie at birth, so Sara and Kyle became parents a bit earlier than […]

Meet the Hardmans! Jana was another client who booked with me almost a year ago during my Black Friday sale at Thanksgiving (should I do this again this year?!).  We actually met several years ago at Music Together!  She wanted a summertime family session, and then we just pushed it a little further into September […]

This girl.  If I’ve ever had a muse, it might be her! Erica was a student at Hanford High when I taught there.  Although she was not a student of mine, she was a student that most teachers knew because she was involved in lots of things, and a valedictorian, too.  I had the opportunity […]

It’s so much fun to explore a new location with clients!  Having a session at a flower farm has totally been a dream, so when Jaymee inquired about having her family session at Haven Flower Farm in Kennewick, it was a yes from me!  Haven is a wonderful local flower farm!  If you’re looking for […]

Samantha reached out last spring about senior portraits for her son, Hayden.  When she mentioned that he’s in the Firefighting program at Tri-Tech, and would love to incorporate his gear, and/or a fire station, I got excited.  This sounded epic! I had an idea about which fire station would have the best light, so I […]

One of the best feelings in this biz is when clients come back for more photos.  I first met Susan and Matt, and little Isla back in 2021, for a maternity session when they were expecting.  Later that summer, I got to do an in-home lifestyle newborn session with them and meet sweet little baby […]

This was such a special shoot!  Let me tell you the story! Five years ago, somewhat last minute, we planned a vacation to the Oregon Coast. After much research, we found a little house right on the beach in Netarts, Oregon.  It was SO beautiful, on a calm bay, off the beaten path, and we […]

Meet the Wears! As much fun as it is to reconnect with people I knew in high school, it’s also pretty amazing to meet new people too!  Chloé and her family came out from Seattle to visit her folks here in Richland, where she grew up.  Turns out we had lots of similar interests in […]

You might recognize Misty from my very first blog ever!  I photographed her and her family back in January when they were expecting baby Everly.   Misty’s husband, Tony, and his brother, Drew are combining forces to start a home-building business here in the Tri-Cities, called Relentless Custom Homes.  Check them out if you are […]

When Darcey reached out from Tacoma, WA for photos with her extended family, I was shocked that she even found me!  I’ve been working hard to build a presence on Google, and was so happy I came up in her search!  Darcy and her sisters, and their families all came to visit their parents in […]
