MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest aka PNW, I've learned to love the outdoors.  Most of our days you can find us outside playing, on walks, or at the lake.  This is also where my love of photography stems from.  When I first started taking pictures as a kid, it was attention to detail; the petals of a rose, the branches of a tree, the reflection in the water.  As I grew, so did my passion.  I can't ever remember a time where I wasn't viewing life through a lens finder.  

Being a natural light, lifestyle photographer.  What does that really mean right?  Simply said, I'm a gear minimalist.  I don't bring tons of fancy studio light with me, I don't tell you to stand in the perfect spot with the perfect tilt of your head.  I just want to capture you.  Hug your husband, play with your kids, sing, laugh, run, jump, enjoy this hour of having nothing else to do but to just ENJOY EACH OTHER!  

LOVING to travel and explore new places, I don't think there's a place in the world where I wouldn't go.  If you're looking for a destination photographer, please, I'm your girl!!!!  

My family is my number one.  They are full of passion and full of life.  When you see the saying "let them be wild", that was written about my kids.  They keep my at my best and run me to exhaustion.  They are my everything.  

My goal as a photographer is to grow with your family.  I've been with some couples from their engagement to their wedding, pregnancy, newborn, and family photos.  I don't just see you as my client, I see you as part of my family and I can't wait to meet you!!  

As you get to know me, you'll start to understand how much irony are in these pictures of me and my family.  I am a coffee connoisseur, my kids will only sit still if there is food in front of them, and even thats iffy, and last but not least, I hate the snow.  If we're texting, I use wayyyyy too many emojies, lol's, and hahahaha's.  I'm as sarcastic as they come but never mean to offend.  I am an avid Seahawks fan and vegetarian for life.  I feel so incredibly blessed to have this life passion as my career.

xoxo, Melisa
