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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
I think I could tell before we even started, that this family was going to be a fun one! We started the session with a little huddle about what to expect, and what they are expecting of me, and it felt like chatting with friends! Not only did these guys dress in the perfect spring […]
And we’re back! With my first session of 2024, and this was so dreamy! As we’ve been seeing the past few weeks, early spring weather can really do ANYTHING. One minute it’s sunny and delightful, the next minute a rain cloud rolls through and soaks everything! This was certainly true on this early spring day, […]
It seems fitting that my last blog of 2023 is all about new beginnings and fresh starts. My client Diane reached out to me about some fresh family photos while her adult kids were in town to document their new chapter after some tough changes in their lives. It’s easy to remember to get […]
One of my favorite families–The Hartsfields! I will always cherish this family–my first ever real client, when I had just started maybe trying to photograph other people SIX YEARS AGO?! They took a chance on me, and we’ve all grown a lot over the years! This year the whole family showed up in plaid shirts! […]
This was one of those late-October perfectly autumnal evenings we are so lucky to get here sometimes, and I got to share it with one of my favorite families! Seriously, I feel like I got to photograph famous people! Because in some circles around here, they are! If you have a child under the age […]
