The first senior I ever photographed was my neighbor, Dylan, back in 2018 at the Uptown Shopping Center in Richland. I was super new to taking portraits, and I jumped at the chance when his parents asked me. Well here we are, 6 years later, and I finally got to take a senior back to […]
Meet Johann, Hanford High School class of 2025, and my third senior this year! Johann chose to showcase the beauty of the shrub steppe by choosing an EPIC location for his senior session–Twin Sisters Wallula Gap. While this spot is a little further out of town, it’s beautiful! The desert really shows off here, so […]
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 […]
Meet Sydney, Richland High School Class of 2025! I was so excited to meet Sydney and take her senior pictures because I took her older brother Hayden’s pictures at the fire station a couple of years ago, and I just knew Sydney would be awesome too. Spoiler: She is! Although we had a bit of […]
Kicking off senior season with Dom, Hanford High class of 2025! When I was a high school teacher, I mostly taught freshmen and sophomores, and every so often some of them would come back and visit me during their senior year. It was always the best shock to see the transformation that happens in just […]
It’s 2003, and my high school physics lab partner and I are trying to keep up in class, and also discussing our latest crushes. Fast forward 21 years (!?!?), and I’m photographing her wedding! Morgen and Kieth tied the knot in a beautiful backyard ceremony with Badger Mountain as a backdrop. They got engaged under […]
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 […]
I wasn’t sure if I should blog this, because mini sessions just don’t come with very many photos, and I didn’t want to share the entire gallery, but it’s my blog and I can do what I want, and I definitely wanted to share some of this one this one with all of you! It’s […]
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! […]
