The Pacific Northwest has stunning gardens. With its mild temperatures, sunshine, and rain, so many flowers bloom here. I'm learning a lot about the flora and fauna. Here is a sample of some floral fine-art photography
I Give You this Ring and My Heart
One of my signature gifts to all of my couples is to take artistic wedding photography images of their wedding rings. I absolutely adore doing this for my clients and I can't wait to do it for you!
The rings are a work of art! It's so beautiful, meaningful, and so much fun!!!
Beautiful Light and Photo Tips for a One-Of-A-Kind, High End, Wedding!
Getting married in 2020 — PERFECT! Its the beginning of a new decade. And, you have dreamed about the perfect wedding for so long. How do you choose a photographer when there are so many portrait and wedding photographers to pick from?
Do a Google search for photographers in your area. Review the photographers work on their website and Social Media pages. Look at their reviews. Ask yourself, do you like their photography style and the variety of work they advertise? Can you visualize spending time with the photographer, getting along with the photographer, and being comfortable with them for the photo session? Does the photographer advertise they can do both engagement and wedding photography?
Does the photographer have experience with all sorts of lighting situations? Photography is all about capturing the light at any stage; natural, fill flash, indoor studio, and more.
Next, contact the photographer and schedule a time to chat and meet them in person. Ask a lot of questions and build a relationship with the photographer. There are many qualified and talented photographers in the market place; however, by doing a little homework and setting aside some time to get to know the photographer, you will gain great confidence that he/she will do a fantastic job for you. The results will show in the service they provide for you and the beautiful natural photographs showing you and yours at your best!

I hope the magic of the holidays gives you time to reflect and enjoy life's gifts. Let us, together, wish for peace and happiness around the world.
Two Pacific Northwest Coastal Sunsets, Same Day, Only One Hour Apart.
It's amazing how quickly light can change within a short period of time. Since, I am also a landscape photographer, I am always interested and chasing the light. The first image below of Samish Bay, along the Chuckanut Drive view point, was taken at 4:29 pm. The next shot was taken at 5:27 pm, just a couple of miles up the road, at the boat marina overlooking Bellingham Bay in Bellingham, Washington. The light changed so dramatically in just an hour!
I get a kick out of photographing the groom and his groomsmen!
Working with the guys to capture cool photographs at the wedding is a lot of fun -- especially when there's props and everyone cuts loose and enjoys themselves!
Being spontaneous and in the moment results in great candid pictures! I love being a creative wedding photographer and making these guys smile BIG!
Say Yes to the Back of the Dress!
Photographing the bride and the back of her dress makes a statement. It can convey the mood, her style, and shows a touch of elegance. As a artistic wedding photographer, I love being imaginative and creative to capture all of the wonderful moments for my clients!
Beautiful Bridal Hair and Accessories for Wedding Photography
I love that there are so many lovely hair accessories brides can wear. From hair clips and flowers, to sparkling gemstones, tiaras, and pill box veils - brides have a lot to choose from!
I love traditional veils too. Anything goes for today's wedding time bridal photography and the modern bride!
Nature Scenes and the Feeling of Tranquility
Winter weather can surprise and delight me all at the same time...when it offers soft, tranquil, pastel-like colors.
The serene colors of nature's natural beauty puts me in a dreamy state of mind.
Prayers for the people and life in California
I write this today with a heavy heart as the world watches the horrifying news feeds from California. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who are suffering and have lost so much. You can rebuild, but life is priceless.
It's been a really rough year for the State of California; first Sonoma and Napa, and now raging wildfires up and down Highway 101 in Southern California.
I took this landscape photography picture in January 2017 at Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego County, at sunset.
Mother Nature changes our view
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and our view of the Olympic Mountains changes daily. Thank you Mother Nature!
Sometimes, I take photographs of the Olympic Mountains wearing my slippers.
Capturing the wedding details!
I love to capture the details that the wedding couple created to make their day really special and uniquely theirs. When a client asks me if I am a creative wedding photographer and an artistic wedding photographer, I smile and say, YES I AM!
Props can add style and fun to any photoshoot!
Adding props for your photo session can help you tell your story. Samantha and Jake love the vintage look and they see their love story as an adventure!
For April and Brian's wedding they asked me to re-create photos they had seen on a Pinterest board. Using the Victorian sofa she had rented for her wedding, outside, helped set the tone for a super romantic, vintage wedding day!
Cute Wedding Cake Toppers
It’s so cute when weddings have themes and the bride and groom have some fun with decorating. I especially like cute cake toppers that are whimsical, cute, fun, and romantic!
