ELOPEMENT || SNOQUALMIE

On a Sunday afternoon, I took a walk with Nattalie and Ryan on an elopement wedding inspiration shoot.  We tromped through the snow, braved the cold, and marveled at the majestic mountains surrounding us.  With elopement weddings becoming an increasingly popular desirable to avoid the wedding planning stress, winter provides a beautiful backdrop. 

Three Men and a Mama

With this active family, we went tromping through the fields and wetlands exploring.  The boys ran and jumped.  Mom and Dad followed behind the unceasing energy and movement exuding from their sons, as always.  And all the while, the red autumn sun bathed us as it sunk behind the hills.  Enjoy this look into a family's evening adventure! 

Red October Engagement

I took a walk with Katie and James on a sunny and warm evening in October.  And let me tell you, Red October is no joke!  As the sun went down, we were engulfed in warm reds, oranges, and yellows.  We ran to catch the sunset and landed out in the Sound.  Katie danced- and got James to dance too!  We laughed and got to know each other.  I can't wait for their wedding!  Enjoy this glimpse of our time together!

Project Light: Just as the Sun Went Down

We have come to our final set of photos in my collaboration with Fashion Blogger, Carolyn, from Hey Pretty Thing.  We climbed a windy ridge and trekked to an old train bridge.  As we braced ourselves against the forceful wind and held onto each other as we walked, we managed to snap a few photos!  Carolyn is wearing a beautiful Acne leather jacket that she picked up in Europe.  Paired with a cotton dress and booties, its a perfect fall outfit for these sunny days we have been enjoying.  Check out her website or Instagram for more details!  And, if you have missed our previous shoots, scroll back in my blog or her's for more beautiful shots.  Enjoy!

We out.  

Senior Photos: Jessamyn

This lady: a beautiful, personable, friendly, and capable young woman starting her senior year of high school.  Jessamyn is ASB President and college-bound.  When I asked her how she wants to affect change at her school during her presidency, she responded (in so many words) that she hopes to support and acknowledge all students without prejudice for greater inclusion and community within her school.  Jessamyn is certainly a mature young woman who is wise beyond her years!

For her senior photo shoot, we headed out of town to find some wide open spaces that the city struggles to provide.  We walked around to find an old, crumbling building, a bridge, a river, and a meadow.  Check out our adventure below!
