I would like to start this blog post about having a Monthly Business Checklist for small business owners with the absolute clarity that I realized I did NOT have my monthly checklist working for me at all.  Often times when we go to teach others the habits or systems we have (or at least think […]

You guys! I’m so excited to be sharing how to easily write headlines with the brilliant Headline Analyzer Studio by CoSchedule. Let me start by first commiserating about how awful it can be to try and write an eye-catching-viewing-grabbing headline when you didn’t go to school for journalism or feel like every option sounds like […]

Marketing. A noun, a verb, an all-encompassing word that can have you staring blankly at a wall…or an open Google Doc.  There are some weeks in my business where I feel like I have my marketing down to a science. I know what I’m posting, why I’m posting when I’m posting, and how to make […]

CRASH LANDING TO MY SMALL BUSINESS FINANCES Small business finances can be a daunting set of words. Money is not always a comfortable topic in most social circles, which is not necessarily our fault. In my upbringing, I was never taught about budgets or managing money. When my parents gave me a nest egg of […]

You guys know how much I love a Discovery Park engagement session, so when Callie & Nick requested it, I was stoked. Discovery Park is by far one of my favorite places to photograph couples in. Firstly, it’s absolutely HUGE with lots of little pockets that change throughout the seasons. Whether it’s fall or summer…even […]

Christina’s family owns property in the Puget Sound area, so it was the perfect setting for their engagement session. I love when my couples have a special place in mind for their engagement session. It […]

Awe! Lauren & Bert’s Lincoln Park engagement session is a super special one. These two flew into Seattle for this special session…at exactly the same time I was out of town for a business trip.

When my couples are down for an adventure that always gets my creative juices flowing! I was super stoked when Kelsey & Brad chose to have a Vantage engagement session out in the deserts of eastern Washington. Western Washington is notorious for rain, clouds, and overall yucky weather, but if you hop over the east […]

The Wedding Sarah and Blakes’s Tsillan Cellars wedding was epic…epically hot in more ways than one. Sarah and Blake’s wedding day just so happened to have fallen on the HOTTEST weekend in Washington’s recent history. It was a whopping 105 degrees with zero to no shade…but that didn’t get anyone’s spirits down. We started the […]

When Hannah and Jimmy reached out and wanted to do an Olympic Mountain engagement session I was STOKED! If you know anything about Washington State it’s that we have the most incredible mountain ranges with epic 360 views that are truly breathtaking. With the weather constantly changing, it is no small feat to get a […]
