All American Emma

Oh Emma.

I photographed Emma and her hubs last fall, so when she came to me this spring and told me she wanted to do a shoot that made her feel good about herself I was stumped.  I couldn't figure out how to make someone this gorgeous inside and out feel even more beautiful!  I was sitting at the kitchen counter editing away one day while listening to Lana Del Rey and it hit me!  We had to do an american flag shoot.  The day before I had driven through the Sierra Valley in California and I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the green fields and rolling hills.  I've been around this area my whole life but at that moment I saw it differently and knew it would be perfect for Emma's shoot.  We met at Emma's house and drove out to the valley and the whole time we talked about how freezing cold it was and then it started to snow!  Needless to stay it took me a good hour just to edit the goosebumps off her skin.  Aside from the cold temperature Emma did amazing!  Her shoot was truly inspiring.  She looked so free while I was shooting her and I'm so happy I was able to deliver the kind of shoot she was looking for.  Emma you truly have a special place in my heart and I just adore your friendship.  Here's Emma's full session don't be afraid to share this post, pin it, or comment!  Enjoy!

Emma and Nate's Seattle Engagement

If I could photograph this couple everyday of my career I would!  They're that photogenic, kind, and they have the most amazing chemistry.  Sometimes you just know people are meant to be and this is a couple that is just that!  These two radiate love for each other.  Nate and Emma flew me up to Washington for the weekend in November to shoot their engagement and it turned out to be such a great experience.  First off it was FREEZING cold and these two put up with the weather like champs.  I don't remember the name of the location but it was a big open field with green grass that was covered in old barns and a golden field to the side with an amazing treeline.  The best part was the brick Silos.  The location was PERFECT.  We took advantage of every photo opportunity and the final outcome is by far one of my favorite shoots to date.  I loved this couples style and how easy going they were with me, it was like shooting two old friends.  Thank you both for letting me be a part of you're wedding announcement and for giving me such a cool opportunity.  I loved meeting and working with you both!  Enjoy this adorable and perfect engagement shoot!
