Sam & Ashlyn
It was such a treat for us to shoot a wedding so close to home. You could almost say Ridgefield is our backyard, and as such we felt at home here with Sam and Ashlyn. As we welcomed the first week of fall, we also welcomed those leaves eager enough to have started turning colors and changing the landscape here at our local wildlife...

We drove the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway on the Washington side. Clouds blanketed the sky, deep blue in color. The rising sun made its way to the horizon, its golden rays warmed up the clouds, the hills, the trees and eventually us. We watched as the sun put a spotlight on the popular Vista House across the gorge.
Our spotlight was on Matt a...

Sam & Ashlyn's Ridgefield Engagement
September 10, 2018
It was perfect. The weather, the tree, the field, the view, the sunset, the couple, it was perfect.
Ashlyn grew up in Ridgefield. Ever since she was a girl, she dreamt of having her wedding pictures taken under these trees, in the middle of this field, with this view in the background. So, when the owners of the property gave her and Sam permissio...

Ever since I read an article on kayak camping in the Sunset magazine's May 2017 camping guide issue, I've been dying to go. Kayaking is something we regularly do, living near so many rivers and lakes its pretty easy to load up the boats and pack a simple meal after work to go enjoy some calm waters. Its my favorite time to go out. As the wind dies...

Where do I even start? I have so much I can say and yet have no idea how put it into words and sentences.
We shared a home with them for almost 3 years. We shared meals (great food!), recipes, friends, movies, tv series, canoe rides and family. We shared up's and a few down's. We watched Xavier grow, take his first steps, say his first words, go t...

It's crazy to think that in just a couple weeks our PNW Summer will come to an end, as a new school year begins. I can already feel a cooler breeze on some evenings and I'm not sure if I imagine it or not but it's accompanied with a smell of fresh crisp air that takes me straight to fall. Personally, I'm a little horrified because it feels like Sum...

We started our day with the sun shinning in our windows as we drove up I-5 to the Lake Washington area near Seattle. The family's cats greeted us when we arrived and kept a curious eye on things as I set up the detail shots. I enjoyed these details so much! Blue is my favorite color and I loved that Liz included baby blue hydrangeas in her bouquet...

Bryan and I were so excited to have our first wedding of the Summer so close to home.
Getting back to Battle Ground's popular Lewisville Park for Ethan and Shelby's wedding was definitely a treat. We were fortunate enough to have some privacy on a little footpath winding in between trees for an intimate first look. It was perfect!
Ethan and Shelb...
