I have long been intrigued by historic places, particularly homes that have been long abandoned. There's something so beautiful and melancholy about seeing a structure that once provided shelter and comfort, now being run down by nature's elements.
Read MoreI love autumn on Whidbey Island, the air is crisp, the leaves are turning warm hues, and there's such a sense of beauty when the seasons are right on the cusp of change. I first met Kristen and Jason around this time last year for holiday photos,
Read MoreThese two were so electric, narrowing down favorites was almost impossible. This radiating session down at Rosario Beach was such an amazing experience. From the way Omar looked at Cearra, the sun beams illuminating her hair, the dynamic background and the beautiful golden dress she wore, the whole shoot was just perfect.
Read MoreTaylor & Caleb's PNW engagement session was the first time I actually was able to meet this darling couple in person. I had spoken to Taylor a few months ago on the phone as she was out of state, planning a wedding back in Arkansas while engaged to a handsome fella stationed here at NAS Whidbey Island.
Read MoreLast night's time behind the camera made me happy...and for so many reasons. First off, it's beginning to feel like summer here on Whidbey. I know, I know....we're just hitting spring now, but last night the sun was out, the breeze was just right, and the air was just cool enough to enjoy the warmth of a bonfire.

Read MoreThis island...seriously. Been here 8 months now and I still can't get over it. On the same afternoon, I get to go from forest, to beaches, to fields with mountains in the distance....what?! So when Claire said that she and her husband-to-be wanted to do engagement photos at Fort Ebey, (one of my favorite spots!) I knew it was going to be a good day!

Read MoreOk, I loved this session so much. I first met Katie when I photographed her wife's Navy homecoming in the fall. It was such a special moment when Kate got off the plane and finally was reunited with her wife. Fast forward a few months, as these two are getting ready to say goodbye to Oak Harbor for their next station across the country.
