I have tried to write this several times in many different ways. The message is SO important to me that I want it to be PERFECT! However, I am throwing my hands in the air and saying FUCK PERFECTION—because bottom line, that is the real essence of my message.
Let me start from the beginning…
Back in March of 2018, I met Rhiannon when she came in for a boudoir session. It was a beautiful sho[...]

I know from personal experience that choosing what to wear for your session isn't always easy. For some, it is a fun process, and for others, it is downright daunting!
For that reason, I am going to give you my top 5 tips for choosing boudoir wardrobe! I am a Tacoma boudoir photographer, but my advice can be used for ANY boudoir session!
The first thing I want you to know, is that when you[...]

- I had a really super senior session this summer!!! One year ago, I took senior pictures of Jennafer's brother. Her brother was one of my favorite guy sessions of all time. She was no exception! She was a DREAM to photograph!!! They both are attendees of Bonney Lake High School. Rumor has it, they have one more sibling! I am so excited to add her to my senior roster!
Jennafer, enjoy your senior [...]

- Shooting high school senior sessions is one of my all time favorite things to do! And I swear seniors are getting more and more stunning! Maybe they aren't, but I am getting more and more lucky!
We did Avery's session in downtown Tacoma. The outfits that she had picked were perfect for more of an urban location. When I shoot in a city environment, the photos have more of a fashion feel...and ju[...]

- I love being a Tacoma photographer! I absolutely love it when my clients want to shoot in downtown Tacoma. There are so many amazing places to shoot!
This is one of my favorite locations to shoot at. It has an edgy look and the light is beautiful. What more can a girl ask for! Also, when I am shooting my high school senior portrait sessions, this is one of the most requested locations. It alway[...]

- I graduated from Puyallup High School. So I LOVE shooting Puyallup Senior Pictures sessions for any of the 3 main high schools in the area! Puyallup High School, Rogers High School, and Emerald Ridge High School (did you know that I was on the committee that chose the mascot and colors for Emerald Ridge when I was at PHS!?).
We shot this session close to sunset at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewo[...]

- It's that time of year again! Fall is in the air. Brisk mornings, changing leaves, and a new set of high school seniors embark on their last months of school!
Kylee is the Senior Class President at Graham-Kapowsin High School. We did her session in downtown Tacoma, and she was a dream to shoot! She reminds me of a gorgeous action hero in a high suspense movie! She is SO badass!
Enjoy every s[...]

- Oh boy! It is been a LONG time since I have blogged! My photography world is so hectic right now. But I am LOVING it. I am editing 15 sessions currently, and I can't wait to share them! Many of the sessions were senior pictures in Tacoma! My fave :-)
Nicole is a Senior at Gig Harbor High School, and we had a great time during her session! We went to tons of locations. We started at Point Defian[...]

- I had a great time photographing Austin! He is a Puyallup High School Senior, and plays baseball for them. He is the second PHS baseball player that I have photographed this year. What a great group of guys!
Also, I have yet to confirm this with my own eyes, but I heard that the parking garage that we shot his senior pictures at burned down two days after our session!!!! It is my FAVORITE place[...]

- I have known Krista for about 2 years now. She was one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE BARISTAS!!! And I say WAS, because about a year ago, I found out that I am allergic to caffeine! Crazy right? And so allergic, that I can't even have decaf. Not going to lie, it sucks. But what sucks more, is that my morning just isn't the some without Krista in my day!
It was so great to catch up with her and her fa[...]

- It really seems like yesterday that I photographed Katelyn at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma for her senior portraits. When I looked back at the date, I was surprised that we did this session in AUGUST!!! Here it is May already and she will be graduating in just a few short weeks! It CRAZY how time flies. Thankfully, my job is to help freeze time! Because she will be graduating college before we kn[...]

- We did Shea's senior portrait session in downtown Tacoma and had so much fun! There is an endless supply of great spots to photograph in the city. We did her Tacoma senior portrait session during the fall and its always exciting when we find some patches of breathtaking leaves!
I LOVED photographing Shea. I kept telling her that she needs to be on an album cover. There is just something about h[...]

- As I was walking out the door for Easton's 6 month session, it was the PERFECT photography weather. Nice and overcast!!! I was headed out to our location, Ft. Steilacoom Park. One of my favorite locations! All was right with the world! As I was driving to location, the beautiful overcast skies opened up to reveal the bright, I'm talking BRIGHT, sun!!! That's ok! I can find some shade...no biggie. [...]

- I have done several shoots at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. Yet for some reason, I try really hard to stay away from the flower gardens. I have no clue why?!
I am shooting Lindsay and Alex's wedding at the beginning of October. When Lindsay contacted me and said, "I want to do an engagement session...I think I will be really sorry if I don't!" My first thought was using the flower gardens! I a[...]

- This wedding was beautiful! Everything about this day was a treat for the eyes! Chris and Kristina are EASILY one of the most laid back couples I have ever met! Their ability to remain chill under all circumstances, made this day a breeze.
Thank you Chris and Kristina for allowing Brett and I to capture you day! It was amazing! (and as always, these images are taken by both me and Brett McKinle[...]

- I LOVE SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS!
I had such a great time photographing Helaina! I was SO impressed with her. She was so mature, polite and easy going. Yet she was enthusiastic and open to having fun!
A majority of my clients try to warn me that they are "awkward" in front of the camera. This is true for most of us! Not many people feel at home in front of a camera. As a photographer, my g[...]

- What can I say about Dan and Jess? I could talk/write about these two for days! However, I am so ready to share the pics, I'll keep it short and sweet! So here is a list of the things that I think are important to know:
1) Dan is my cousin.
2) Their wedding was planned to be held in Winthrop, WA. Due to wild fires, evacuations, power outages and just plain unpredictability, they decided to m[...]
