Some of My favorties from 2013 {Vancouver WA Wedding and Portrait Photographer}


I felt the need to post a blog with a collection of some of my favorite images from 2013. I've had the opportunity to photograph so much love, so many smiles, so many firsts, so many beautiful weddings, new babies, kisses, laughter, tears and more. I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people and build new friendships. I've had the opportunity to snuggle some tiny new babies and capture them at just a couple days old. I'm so blessed to be able to document people's lives. I just want to say THANK YOU to all my past and current clients. THANK YOU for allowing me to capture your life in 2013. Here are some of my favorites from the year --since I rarely blogged... I hope you enjoy them!

Tween Witches - Halloween Styled friend photoshoot Vancouver WA

Image
I had surgery at the end of Summer and was itching to get back to work and be creative after almost 8 weeks off!  A Tween Witches-themed photoshoot in the woods sounded like an enchanting idea! The woods provide a perfect backdrop for a dark and magical setting that would bring out the best of my tween witches. I sent my sister a few inspiration images of woods and clothing that fit my vision and she and my niece gathered up all the things and helped bring my idea to life with these images!  The woods provided a natural setting that was used to create a dark and eerie atmosphere. We shot around 5pm at the end of September. Using a higher F stop and some Flash I was able to create a dark look. I also added in some smoke effects using Smoke bombs I purchased from Smoke Effect Online  as well as some Smoke overlays.  Friendship is one of the most precious and beautiful aspects of life. It is the bond that we cherish and the people who stand by us through thick and thin....

Getting Ready for your Wedding: Tips for Brides

Image
 Let's talk about Wedding Hair and Makeup and how long you will need to get ready on your wedding day. When it comes to planning your wedding day timeline this is a question I get a lot from brides "How long will it take to get ready?"  Generally, the answer is different for every bride and I try my best to give great advice when it comes to planning these details but let's face it, I'm the photographer, not a wedding planner or HMUA. I typically will suggest my brides get ready early and plan at least 1 hour per bridesmaid for hair and makeup. It seems like a lot of brides think they are going to have all day to get ready but time slips away very quickly on the day of. I have seen bridal parties with 10+ bridesmaids get full hair and makeup and still arrive on time ready for photos with no hiccups and I've seen small bridal parties struggle to show up an hour late to the ceremony. It's so important to make sure you have enough time for everyone to get rea...

Photographer Vancouver WA - Baby Finnen's First Birthday Cake Smash

Image
 Oh, I had the best time photographing this little one. It's kind of wild his mommy was our babysitter just a few years ago and now she's grown up, married, and has a beautiful growing family!! Time goes so fast!  It's pretty special to capture this big milestone; Finnen's first birthday and I love a good cake smash. These images were shot in the studio in Vancouver WA aka my house with an adorable neutral set that I pulled together with a few of my vintage props and some other borrowed home decor items. His cute little birthday outfit can be found on Amazon. I love cake smash sessions and how adorable it is to watch a baby get down on some cake. All the faces!! It's seriously the cutest thing ever!   The milk baths are super fun! I love the oranges in these ones!  Photographing babies on their first birthday is a heartwarming and delightful pursuit, capturing a moment in time that is both fleeting and cherished. This milestone is not just any birthday; it marks...
