Well this was something different (and BEAUTIFUL!)! My friends Misty and Tony, who I’ve photographed many times, and who hosted mini sessions at their white barn last fall came up with a crazy idea, and it turned out SO beautiful! Misty and Tony live on acreage along the Yakima River in West Richland. Their river […]
My third time capturing the wonderful Steward Family! Peggy contacted me about squeezing in a session while all her kids were home, and it made me remember that the first time I photographed them all her kids lived at home, and since then they’ve grown up a lot, and they’ll even be gaining a daughter-in-law […]
Another extended family session for my summer! These are always so fun! Whenever we get a big group of grandkids together there’s sure to be exciting moments! Kids do kid things, and I love working with them. Parents– I hope you never feel pressure from me to make your kids sit and behave a certain […]
This family was down for an adventure! Let’s face it, Twin Sisters at the Wallula Gap is GORGOUS, but it’s not the most accessible location. It’s 30 minutes outside of town, involves a short but fairly steep hike, there’s no facilities around, parking can be crazy (it can be a popular spot!), and out in […]
What’s the number one thing a client can do to elevate their photos? Wardrobe! Let me explain: Most established photographers have a certain style or look that they consistently achieve through both choice of location and editing. I happen to be a more ‘light and airy’ photographer, focusing on light, bright images, but other photographers […]
It had been a while since I offered mini sessions because, honestly, they weren’t that popular. I don’t know if I just didn’t market them well, or if I didn’t have a big enough pool of people to offer them to, but they just didn’t seem worth the effort. I’m also always scared that we’ll […]
There’s this moment in a family session… … especially with a family with little kids, where the energy just changes. It happens after we’ve gotten the ‘everyone smiling at the camera’ kinds of photos accomplished, and the kids have warmed up to me, and the pressure is off mom and dad to have happy, well […]
You guys, this spring has just been wild. Our spring warm-up was SLOW, and we had so much wind and rain, and because of all that we had to reschedule this session FOUR TIMES! I SO appreciate my client’s flexibility! I just can’t control the weather, and juggling sessions around it can be so stressful! […]
I just love this family! My good friend, and fellow photographer, Cherika, was hired this year by Adeline’s Peonies to photograph their garden party, and she also got exclusive access to their new farm, Lucy Farm, in Zillah, Washington. None of the peonies there were harvested this year, so it was acres and acres of […]
When you’re on location in the Tri-Cities, sometimes you just never know what will come by… I had the pleasure this spring of photographing my friend (from all the way back to middle school!) Allison, her husband, Nick, and their daughter Leona as they are expecting the arrival of a baby sister later in May! […]
