Dorothy, oh Dorothy. This girl is one of my favorite people to take adventures with- she is so goofy, fun and an amazing photographer! Check out her incredible work HERE! We became friends back in the Brooks days when both of us had our 40D’s and no idea how to use them. We’ve grown as photographers together- constantly teaching and learning from each other and I am so happy to have this girl as a close friend- because she really does make the world a better place! Here are a few frames from our most recent adventure in Tacoma!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
A few things you should know about me:
First off, I love what I do. My job is challenging most days but the biggest reward is the reactions and feedback I get from my clients when they receive their photos. I am originally from Nebraska but now live in Seattle and plan on staying here! I studied photography for 3 years at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. I love to laugh and making portraits of people is my favorite thing to do.What it's like shooting with me:
It's important that people feel comfortable during a shoot so I can capture them as naturally as possible. It's my goal to make people laugh and enjoy themselves during a session; and I'll do my best to get to know you during our time together so I can create the best shots. I'm the photographer that you won't be surprised to see climbing a tree, tangled in bushes, or laying on the ground during our shoot.I focus on building connections with my clients in order to make it the best shoot possible. I'm very non-traditional in my approach to photography. I love creating images both for myself and for others.
I'm constantly collaborating and learning from other photographers; this helps me to continue to challenge myself and try new things while still being true to myself and my style.
I'm excited to learn and create with you. I'm open to any questions you may have, just click on my contact box and let's talk!
Love,
