Those fall colors, this year, am I right?? The fall colors this year seemed to last longer than in years past, and it was so beautiful while it lasted!  I guess we got lucky this year with cool but not cold mornings and not a ton of wind and rain and it sure made the […]

The Heaton family came to see me for fall family photos at the Chamna Natural Preserve this year.  Margo wanted to capture the fall vibes with her husband Howard and cute little girls.  Chamna is a popular choice in the fall, and for good reasons!  Look at all the fall colors! We also needed just […]

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 […]

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!  […]
