Specializing in locations in Western Washington & the Oregon Coast

My purpose is to serve you well

Here is what that actually looks like...

A smiling woman sits on driftwood in a golden grass field near a coastal forest, holding a camera on a cloudy day.
  • I will be your teammate through the planning process for your elopement. We will look at timing, permits, location pros and cons, tide charts, and whatever else we need to in order for your day to go smoothly.



  • On the day of your session or elopement, I will be calm and encouraging. I will tackle any hiccups that come up with assurance and purpose so that you aren't dealing with any stress.
  • When it comes to posing and creating the beautiful photos that you want, I will instruct and guide you into natural poses that help you focus more on being together as a couple than looking good in front of the camera.


  • When you elope with me as your photographer, you will walk away remembering the experience, not stressing about if the photos are going to turn out. And I promise, the photos will be amazing.
