We decided to meet up at Snoqualmie Pass since they love spending time together outdoors going hiking and fishing. We wandered around in the woods for a bit, as the golden light of the afternoon began to sink behind the surrounding mountains, and and found a little river spot to climb down to. They were laughing, connecting and just so perfectly in love that at times I felt I should vanish into the surrounding trees to allow those sweet moments of smiles and kisses to be inti

As I drove out to Alena & Christian's house, through small winding roads that passed farms, fields and charming little rural homes, I felt the hustle and bustle of the weekend slip away and found myself reminded of why I love living far away from big cities. It was early evening when I arrived and was joyfully greeted by their two red labs. Their spacious back yard is up against a river and we proceeded to spend the next two hours hanging out along

Sometimes capturing engagement sessions is like falling in love with two peoples love story, the way you do when you watch a movie or read a book. You might think you have an idea, and maybe you do, but it’s through seeing the little things that make it something powerful to witness & pulls on your heart strings.

This year brought stunning locations and the romantic dreaminess of two people in love. Each of these photos captivate me - moments like unexpected sunset colors on mountain peaks, snowfall that surrounds you or a whirlwind of leaves that you just feel lucky to have witnessed something completely spontaneous. Also moments of just quiet intimacy, or the sweet smiles that sneak out when you're just overcome with the sweetness of the one you love. Stay tuned for my Year in Revie
