When it was time to walk down the aisle, Shelby met Andrew at the end of the aisle under a beautiful archway (with an amazing view!). They were married by a family friend, and cheered on by their loved ones.

I am so grateful for the journey of learning to love and accept myself as I am today, not what my ideal is, whether that’s from the past or in the future. Loving and accepting myself as I am has brought so much peace to my soul.

Faith and Eric made a trip up to the Vancouver area in the spring to visit family and do some in-person planning, and we were able to schedule a time during their trip for their engagement photos!
I sent over several location suggestions for them to review, and we ended up meeting at Wintler Community Park for their session.

I remember looking at the photo and just beaming with how I was seeing my true self - I am beautiful, I found me and in that moment I realized I had nothing to hide ‘cause I was perfect the way I am.

Last winter I set out with these two lovebirds in search of a beautiful location for their late spring wedding. Shelby and Andrew were planning on getting married on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge in outdoor wedding, so we wanted their engagement session to highlight the beauty of that area, too.

It didn’t actually take that much to get this set up… an acrylic sheet clamped between two backdrop stands, my ring lights, and a water bottle! It’s totally an example of “what you see vs. what I see” type of photography. lol It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but OMG I LOVE the effect that I’m getting!

My client told me that she wanted the photography session to have a “Cottage Core” vibe, so (after quickly Googling what the heck that was. lol) I delivered with an outdoor photoshoot that had softer elements used in the background and foreground of the photos.
The garden background tied everything together and gave the session the feel she was looking for! The plants and soft fabrics really added a ton to the mood of the photos. Plus, the natural lighting we had for the photography session complemented the set beautifully!

Celebrating life is always one of my favorite things to do while working as a photographer! There are so many ways that I capture life through all of my photography sessions, but it’s definitely special to capture brand new life, too.

I came to realize that for me, sexy is not just one thing. It did not have to be all lacy or all sweaters or all my partners tee shirt. It could be all of that! And I know that may seem common sense to some, but I had spent so much time trying to be what someone else wanted that I thought you had to be a “type”. It was a very liberating and exciting feeling and gave me a great confidence when time for photos finally came around.
Women empowering women is such a beautiful and magical thing. Being able to see the beauty in each other and lift that up instead of tearing it down is so powerful, and let me tell you that I had to channel that power when stepping into that shoot! In the few days leading up to the photo shoot I suddenly lost all of that confidence that I had built up during all of my prep. I was not skinny enough, my outfits weren’t the right ones, my skin was weird, and obviously my cellulite was going to be an issue...Damn these negative voices in my head!

When my client booked her session, she was looking to do something for herself that was special! She stayed busy with family and worked hard on her education through the pandemic, so this was her way of taking some time for herself and prioritizing self-care. It was so awesome to help create an experience for her that she could enjoy and remember down the road through all of her stunning images!

While reviewing these photos and looking back through them, it was so clear to see that she was absolutely GLOWING during this session. These photos show the beauty and confidence of my client plus all of the hard work that was put into this space! This is always going to be a very special session for me. <3

I learned to love myself when the people around me didn’t. I’ve learned to accept and love all the light and shadow that make me who I am. I’ve learned that life is a beautiful mess and it simply doesn’t always look beautiful or perfect.

Sometimes moms get the short end of the stick, and this leaves us without photos that we love of ourselves with our kids! It’s so important that we have photos of ourselves with our children that we can cherish and keep through the years. There’s nothing better than being able to look back at family photos and see the moments of joy that we shared with our family. As the years fly by and our kids grow up, it’s awesome to have a snapshot of our memories with them… Our kids love to look back at these photos, too!

Amanda's grandparents own the Allen's Crosly Lanes bowling alley in Vancouver, and she asked if we could have our session at her grandparents’ bowling alley. She remembered having tons of birthday parties and family celebrations there because her grandparents have owned it for many years. Because of the pandemic, the bowling alley was closed down for a while and had an uncertain future... so Amanda wanted to document it in a special way!

The traditional one year anniversary gift is paper… what better way to honor that tradition than with an album of sexy, powerful boudoir photos? =D
I have a lot of clients who book sessions with me to create images for their significant other for special occasions (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) and this was one of those sessions!
This beautiful woman booked her session with me several months in advance so that she could pay it off little by little and not arouse her partner’s suspicion and ruin the surprise! When it was finally time for her session, I was so excited to work with her and create something amazing together!

I couldn’t tell you how long my session lasted. It could have been 45 minutes. It could have been 3 hours. I honestly can’t remember. I just think about it and think of how relaxed I felt, boobs out and all.
I’ve since been able to see the shots Brittney captured, and I’m in love with them. Years of practicing my RBF paid off, and I don’t know what we talked about, but the genuine smiles and laughs she got were incredible. To see myself in that way, it made me feel powerful. Not the kind of power where you know you can do something, but the power you feel actually doing it.

Our goal for this session was a relaxed, “chilling at home” kinda vibe… and they totally rocked it! most of the session was filled with them laughing and joking and just generally enjoying each other’s company. Cuddling and holding each other… the love in my studio was palpable!

Maybe one day this little girl will wear this dress on her wedding day. She’ll be able to look back at these photos of herself as a 3 year old wearing her mother's wedding dress, and compare them to her own wedding photos. Maybe one day the dress will get passed on and used in various ways for generations to come. These images will always be there to document and remember this moment, between this mother and his daughter, and how much this dress meant for them
