Working with the guys to capture cool photographs at the wedding is a lot of fun -- especially when there's props and everyone cuts loose and enjoys themselves!
Being spontaneous and in the moment results in great candid pictures! I love being a creative wedding photographer and making these guys smile BIG!
Photographing the bride and the back of her dress makes a statement. It can convey the mood, her style, and shows a touch of elegance. As a artistic wedding photographer, I love being imaginative and creative to capture all of the wonderful moments for my clients!
I love that there are so many lovely hair accessories brides can wear. From hair clips and flowers, to sparkling gemstones, tiaras, and pill box veils - brides have a lot to choose from!
I love traditional veils too. Anything goes for today's wedding time bridal photography and the modern bride!
Winter weather can surprise and delight me all at the same time...when it offers soft, tranquil, pastel-like colors.
The serene colors of nature's natural beauty puts me in a dreamy state of mind.
I write this today with a heavy heart as the world watches the horrifying news feeds from California. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who are suffering and have lost so much. You can rebuild, but life is priceless.
It's been a really rough year for the State of California; first Sonoma and Napa, and now raging wildfires up and down Highway 101 in Southern California.
I took this landscape photography picture in January 2017 at Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego County, at sunset.
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and our view of the Olympic Mountains changes daily. Thank you Mother Nature!
Sometimes, I take photographs of the Olympic Mountains wearing my slippers.
I love to capture the details that the wedding couple created to make their day really special and uniquely theirs. When a client asks me if I am a creative wedding photographer and an artistic wedding photographer, I smile and say, YES I AM!
Adding props for your photo session can help you tell your story. Samantha and Jake love the vintage look and they see their love story as an adventure!
For April and Brian's wedding they asked me to re-create photos they had seen on a Pinterest board. Using the Victorian sofa she had rented for her wedding, outside, helped set the tone for a super romantic, vintage wedding day!
