Capturing life naturally
Creating images excites me.
From the first spark of inspiration to planning the session, to taking the image from my head and transforming it through my camera lens to become the final image energizes me.
Here you will find some of my personal photography projects. Done for fun, to document a milestone, or just to express my creativity.
I hope you enjoy!
My Son’s Feeding Tube Journey I am sharing my son’s story as well as sharing a curated collection of the many photos I took of him during the 4 1/2 years he had a feeding tube. My son, Apollo, had a feeding tube from the age of 22 months until he was six and a …
I am a huge fan of Stephen King and one of my all-time favorite books is It. I was so excited to see a new version of the movie coming out. I can remember watching the original mini-series on TV as a teen. It scared me to death. So, of course, I had to see …
Playing with Shadows and Light. When taking photos I love playing with light. Light and shadows. Low-light. I was at my parents’ house recently and noticed the sun shining in through the blinds leaving strips of sunlight across the carpet. I was watching the light and wanted to do something, anything with them. I took …
I love living and being a photographer in Bellingham. Bellingham is a bit quirky, very green and such a friendly place. We moved here in in 1999 (when we just have three children) and I have really enjoyed this community. One thing I really enjoy is checking out the local restaurants and coffee shops. Recently …
Have you you even ridden on the iconic Seattle Great Wheel? My husband and I rode on it for the first time this summer, as we celebrated 20 years of marriage.

Summer is here, and with it, a special date with my [huge_it_share]nine-year old daughter, Avi at Boomer’s Drive-In. A fresh burger, perfectly seasoned waffle fries and a strawberry milkshake? My daughter was in foodie heaven. Don’t forge to slow down and savor summer. Hug your children. Buy them a milkshake. You won’t regret it, I …
Sometimes you just have to take time out of your busy schedule to meet up with your friends (and their kids) at The Woods Coffee. ——- Images shot with: Canon 5D Classic and Canon 28mm
After a beautifully mild winter here in the Pacific Northwest, we are now having a warm, sun-filled spring. This time of year here is often cold and damp, but we’ve been seeing the sun more and more frequently and my kids aren’t ones to let a beautiful day pass by without exploring outdoors. …
My four-year old son, Apollo, has been watching with anticipation as the new Taco Bell has slowly been constructed. We talked about it every time we drove by so I promised him a trip there once it was finished. Apollo had never been to Taco Bell before. I wasn’t sure what he want, but ordered …
What makes a great children’s portrait? The answer varies from person to person. I’m a sucker for moody black and whites. And close-ups that highlight a child’s eyes. I love natural, unposed shots. A ten-year-old-boy in torn jeans and converse? I love it. A not-so-little boy, outside in the woods? Comfortable in his own …
