When Kim and Felipe told me their idea for a New Orleans Engagement Session I jumped out of my seat! What an amazing reason to travel to one of America’s coolest cities! New Orleans has special meaning to these two, as they have visited there many times, and love exploring all the city has to offer. They had such great ideas of where to shoot, and came to the session looking absolutley fabulous! I was obsessed with Kim’s red dress that really added a pop of color and stood out with the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street. We started our session at Audubon Park, which features the “The Tree of Life”, a beautiful historic oak tree with whimsical spanish moss hanging from its branches.

Our second location, of course was the iconic French Quarter! The unique and historic architecture, combined with the afternoon light was a dream. The tunes of street musicians were our soundtrack as we strolled the French Quarter, stopping at lafitte’s blacksmith shop, the absinthe house, and Jackson square. This whole session was a dream and I can’t wait to see Kim and Felipe tie the knot next year!

I met Matt and Nisha on a short vacation after a little work trip down to Cancun, Mexico. My hubby and I decided to take some time and explore Tulum, Mexico. It was everything we had hoped for. A relaxed beach town with eco friendly establishments, gorgeous beaches and a town with tons of fun and nightlife. We met Nisha and Matt while bonding over our music taste at a local happy hour. After we talked for a bit we found out that they were looking to shoot there Engagement session in Tulum, since it is somewhere they have been together a few times. It was kismet! We set the session for the next day and it could not have been more fun! They didn’t want the typical beach scene, which is what most people would opt for in Mexico. Instead, they were drawn to the town, with its Mexican architecture and vibrant colors. We spent the afternoon wandering around the town, getting chased by local street dogs and finished it all with a cold margarita. Such a fun way to spend an afternoon exploring a new and different culture. Congrats guys!

When Leslie called me to talk about her idea for an Engagement Session in the beautiful Olympic National Park at Quinault Rainforest I was beyond excited. We started by planning hikes and ideas were flying! We decided on a hike and hoped for an unusual rain-free day. Well, that did not happen but the rain made for an experience we will never forget! These two love the outdoors, and living in Seattle, they are no stranger to getting a little wet. Wrapping my gear in trash bags and going all in, we went for it and created some amazing photographs! Everywhere I looked I felt like I was in Fern Gully. The lush foliage and beautiful natural light was a photographers playground.
