In June I had the honor of working alongside a number of different artists on a collaboration I created to celebrate the summer solstice. The details for the shoot were formed in conversations with a couture fantasy gown design duo, along with the addition of a local model and make-up artist. The group was so fantastic to work with, I knew we could pull it off!!

In my mind, I had a vision for a particular image - shot from below - with our sun goddess atop a hill, and the bright evening light glowing behind her. I knew that the perfect location was out there, and after some scouting was able to find that it did indeed exist in Seattle. I was SO happy to find the exact spot to match the vision in my mind!

We had a beautiful time exploring this Seattle location, laughing and enjoying an evening making art together. Please check out & support the work of my co-creators, who helped to make this shoot happen! On Instagram: @eidoloncouture (gown designer), @andrewflatland (headpiece designer), @sokamara (model) and @meredith.e.mua (hair & makeup design).

If you have an idea for a fantasy shoot or other concept you would like to explore, please give me a shout! I'd love to help you in creating some keepsake art for yourself, and am also available to support you with any planning needs including location scouting, wardrobe and prop rentals, and hair or makeup services.

Welcome to my newest cosplay series! This photoseries is dedicated to one of my all-time favorite Nintendo games, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The concept was created in celebration of the game's 20th release anniversary, last November; the shots taken several months prior. I'm excited to finally be able to share!

The arc of the story follows our young hero Link on his quest to gain the three spiritual stones. Raised as a forest-dwelling Kokiri, yet plagued by nightmares, Link is summoned one day by the fairy Navi to the Great Deku Tree - wise guardian of the forest realm.

Link must next acquire a wooden Deku shield, as well as the Kokiri Sword, in order to free the Great Deku Tree from its curse and gain the first spiritual stone.

After parting from the Great Deku Tree, Link must leave the forest for the first time ever, and say farewell to his friend Saria, who gifts him a fairy ocarina.

Our young hero must now must face the wide outer world of Hyrule, where many dangers are lurking!!

To continue his journey, he must sneak into Hyrule Castle (via the courtyard) in order to speak with Princess Zelda and learn the history of Hyrule and the Triforce.

The second spiritual stone, Link finds, lies within Death Mountain and is protected by the Gorons. The climb up Death Mountain from Kakariko Village is quite treacherous!

Once the second stone is won by freeing Dodongo's Cavern, Link discovers a secret message in a bottle in the waters of Lake Hylia, leading him to the third and final spiritual stone!

In order to gain the stone, Link must first rescue Princess Ruto from inside the belly of Lord Jabu-Jabu. It seems the young Kokiri from the woods, who didn't really fit in, has a much greater destiny to play in the land of Hyrule!

After winning the three stones, Link returns to Hyrule Castle only to find Princess Zelda and her guardian Impa escaping from the evil Ganondorf on horseback. As she rides away, Zelda tosses Link the Ocarina of Time, and so begins the next leg of the quest!

Do you have a fun concept or a cosplay series you would love to shoot? I would be delighted to help you create something fun and meaningful - please get in touch and let's discuss your ideas!

We had the perfect location planned for this shoot, along with beautiful weather and a willing preschooler (not to mention his helpful big sister)! Photography is a gift that can be cherished for years to come, for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries or simply to commemorate a special time in your lives. Whatever it is that you want out of your session, it's my job to create that, and deliver a meaningful and valuable experience. Please get in touch and let me know what type of session is on your mind right now - I'd love to hear!

Just wanted to pop in and say how HAPPY I am to finally be seeing some spring color - feeling some sunshine on my face and getting to be out amongst the flowers. Please get ahold of me soon if you would like to get on my calendar for spring shoots - we still have some great options for flowering fields, trees, shrubs and more beautiful backgrounds. And SPRING MINI SESSIONS were just announced - these are a great option for getting just a little taste of my photos, including updated family photos or senior yearbook portraits! As always, don't forget to get on my newsletter (sign-up on the bottom of this page) to stay in touch!

There is something so romantic about a snowy landscape to me. Add in a glowing expectant mama and a sweet family, and you basically have a dream shoot!! Don't hesitate to reach out if you're dreaming up your own magical shoot - I'd love to help you create it!
