Michael & Britney // Seattle Engagement

Adventuring at Rattlesnake lake was amazing with these two. The phrase "anything for the photo" couldn't have been more true. Brit climbed a freaking stump in her heels for me. I love shoots where I don't hesitate to ask for anything because I know the client will be up for whatever. I'm sure their wedding is going to be killer. Not just because they are both beautiful...but also because they are the more fun than you could ever wish for.  Congrats you guys!

 

Ryann & Taylor // Spokane Graduation

These two GORGEOUS gals gave me the honor of taking their "senior" photos. I wish more people would do these types of sessions with their friends. They graduate nursing school this year & wanted some photos to mark this moment in time. Yeah...I wasn't sad about it. Take a look at these beauties.

 

Europe // Norway

More pictures from our trip to Europe. Stop #2 was Norway! This was a much different experience from London. We spent most of our time on the small & beautiful island of Flekkerøy & stayed with a family who hosted, fed & spoiled us rotten. We all felt like we got a true taste of their day to day life. Favorite moments of Norway...

-Sheep. I love them. They made me smile so big.

-Crab fishing. We went at midnight on our last night & it was the most hilarious, nerve wracking & wonderful memory I took away from Norway

-The family we stayed with. So blessed by them & their kids.

 

Ole Håkon & Inga // Norway Wedding

What. An. Adventure. First of all...Norway?! Heck yes.

How we ended up at the location in Part I of this shoot is a craziness. We were frantically wandering the island trying to find the perfect rocks as the sun was setting. We came upon a backyard & the owner overheard us saying we needed to go get a boat (in order to get to where I wanted to be). This kind stranger says..."I have a boat...why don't you use IT"?! Um WHAT?! So off we went in a strangers boat to chase the sun, explore the ocean & find the perfect island spot to complete our shoot. We were splashed on during the journey & had no tie up for the boat...but we embraced it all & had a blast.

A big thanks to Whitney Dean (Glass Jar Photography) for second shooting this with me & to Ilse Papst for making Inga's wildflower bouquet for this shoot.

 

Before we got their wedding garb wet...we made them hike through a forest of dirt & mosquitoes. Anything for a good pic right? Part II of this shoot was deep in the woods to a set of World War II steps & a moss ridden expanse of greenery. Beautiful indeed.

 

Jonathan & Chelsea // Oregon Wedding

Second wedding of the year and neither of them were Washington weddings! I love getting to travel a bit to capture people's love stories.

It's incredibly fun to see Jonathan & his beautiful bride so stinking happy. Considering he was practically my brother growing up...I hoped & prayed he would find someone as crazy & wonderful as he is. Chels, you are just that. Love you both. Here are a few of my favs from your wedding!
