This year marks something really special… Ten years of being recognized in the Best of the Northwest Readers’ Choice Awards! Eight of those years I’ve proudly brought home the gold, and every single one still makes me stop, smile, and feel so thankful for the incredible community that surrounds me.
To be nominated alongside so many talented folks is such an honor, and to actually win (again!) is something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you for showing up for me year after year — your support is the reason I get to do what I love every single day.
Photography has always been about more than just taking a picture; it’s about people. It’s about you: your stories, your milestones, your laughter, your love, your businesses, your families. My goal has always been to create images that make you feel seen, celebrated, and empowered, and to capture colorful, joy-filled moments that you’ll return to again and again.
This award isn’t just mine — it’s ours.
It reflects the amazing clients and community who have trusted me with their most meaningful memories, invited me into their big life moments, and cheered me on through this journey. I am endlessly grateful for your referrals, your kind words, and your belief in the magic of photography. You fill my heart (and yes, my calendar!) with so much joy.
Here’s to another year of creativity, laughter, and making beautiful memories together.
Thank you for letting me tell your stories; you are what makes this work matter.
