Guess who’s back? 🙋‍♀️ Motherhood is a mix of ev Guess who’s back?

🙋‍♀️

Motherhood is a mix of every day feeling long and slow along with every day flying by so fast, I can barely keep up with the changes. It’s rewarding and overwhelming and scary and magical all at once.

My maternity leave has officially ended and though I truly am sad to not sit and stare at my little guy’s face 24/7, it also feels really good to work again.

Like a piece of me has been found once again.

But now I’m feeling rejuvenated, reinspired (get it?), and my brain is so full of soooo many ideas. ✨

I had never ever ever gone this long without working (seriously, I’ve been a business owner since I was 16 years old). 6 months off has felt like a lifetime for me lol.

I can’t wait to see what we get to create together in the season ahead. ✨

Photos by @marisarosephoto, edits by me (+ so many more, I haven’t even had a chance to go through yet because they’re all my favorites and stopping me in my tracks. I’m a mom, guys. What?? 🥹)

Since it’s booking season and I’ve been having a l Since it’s booking season and I’ve been having a lot of conversations with couples, I thought this would be a helpful topic to share.

There are no wrong questions to ask, but the best questions come from understanding what actually matters to you and your experience.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision. You are trusting someone to document not just how your day looks, but how it feels. The right fit should feel both aligned and grounded in real experience.

Here’s what I’d be asking if I were booking a photographer today (from someone who is also a photographer):

- What is your approach to a wedding day and timeline?
- Can I see a few full wedding galleries that are similar to my venue or has similar lighting/other elements?
- What does your backup system look like for files and gear?
- How do you prepare for a new venue you have not photographed before?
- What is your favorite part of a wedding day?
- What does your communication look like leading up to the wedding day?
- How involved are you in timeline planning or refining?
- What do you do if the timeline runs behind?
- How do you guide couples in front of your camera?
- How do you approach family photos?
- How do you work alongside videographers?
- How do you handle unexpected changes or weather?
- How do you help couples feel comfortable and present throughout the day?
- What moments do you naturally look for and prioritize?
- What can I expect in terms of deliverables (including turnaround timing)?
- What makes a wedding day feel successful to you as a photographer?

Of course, you don’t need to ask all of these. But questions like these tend to reveal how a photographer thinks, how they work, and how they will show up for you.

And that matters more than anything.

➡️ save for later or share with a friend who is planning their wedding!
When your wedding gallery tells your love story wi When your wedding gallery tells your love story without saying a word: Part one (getting ready, first look, semi-private vows).

This is the heart of what we do. Over the years, we have had the honor of documenting so many different stories, and no two have ever felt the same. Every couple brings something uniquely their own, and my team and I are always paying attention to what makes their connection feel real.

Our approach leans documentary, but it is never hands off. Our focus for every wedding: guide when it matters, find good light, create space for privacy, allow moments to unfold naturally without interruption, and to be intentional in every moment. We’re not here to tell you what to do - we are here to help bring your story to the surface.

As Seattle wedding photographers, this is what we care about most. Not just how your day looks, but how it FEELS when you are living it.

Spring mini’s are here, and I have a few spots lef Spring mini’s are here, and I have a few spots left if you still want in! DM me for details.

Mini sessions are one of my favorite ways to capture your story. They are quick, relaxed, and so much fun, giving you beautiful photos without needing to plan a full session. It’s a sweet little way to document this season of life and create memories you’ll look back on for years to come. ✨

W.W. Seymour Conservatory (Tacoma, WA - Mar 22): Lush greenery and soft light, a secret garden vibe for playful, romantic shots.

Pike Place Market (Seattle, WA - Mar 29): Colorful, lively, and full of urban energy, perfect for candid, joyful moments.

Disneyland (Anaheim, CA - Apr 8 & 9): Whimsical and magical, a totally unique setting for unforgettable photos.

Thomas Riley Wilderness Park (Orange County, CA - Apr 12): Natural light, open fields, and serene vibes for organic, heartfelt images.

Mother’s Day Minis (@the701studios, Seattle, WA - Apr 25): Celebrate love and connection with optional florals and 35mm film for extra charm.
It’s been a while since I’ve shown up consistently It’s been a while since I’ve shown up consistently on social media. A lot has changed, but I’m still me. I’m still photographing weddings, I’m a wife, a first time mom, and I’m seeking out the things that spark joy. I’m going to work on showing up more because I miss my community we built here. ✨ Tell me, what’s new with you?
