Anna + Arman Engagement

Anna & Arman are newly engaged and we had a lovely time at the University of Washington on a sunny summer's day! The shots in the library were totally unplanned and I really like how moody and contrasted they are compared to the others. I loved how Arman matched his socks to Anna's pretty turquoise dress and how gallant he was helping her up and down the many staircases we took. Y'all are cute, can't wait to see your wedding day!

California Vacation

Last month I had a lovely 5 day trip with my boyfriend Robert in California. Met up with my brother and visited my dad, stepmom & my new "little brother" (their new puppy) in La Quinta, had a day trip to Palm Springs, then headed to Downtown LA to visit some of Robert's awesome cousins.

Swimming in my dad's pool, hot tubbing at night and being pampered with home made meals and fresh squeezed juice was so fantastic. Robert and I borrowed their bikes and had so much fun cruising around at sunset, we came back with 10 giant grapefruits. The Living Desert zoo was awesome, I hadn't been there for years. Had such a great time in Palm Springs exploring all the boutique hotels and checking out the mid-century architecture. SOOO beautiful, bright and fun! SO much good food too, ahhhh!

Went to the Griffith Observatory and a ton of awesome restaurants and bars for the first time in LA. Wish I had gotten some photos of the speakeasy style cigar club/bar we went to! Never enough time to do all I want down in Cali!

Thanks to my boyfriend for taking all my 'non chalant modeling photos' while we were in Palm Springs.

SVNLIGHTS

Reworking the layout and pages of my website, I noticed I mistakenly made a gallery of my set with Miki from 3 years ago instead of a blog post. I adore our shoot together and had to repost it here.

SVNLIGHTS is a jewelry collection handmade by the incredibly talented Miki Drake. We shot this series in my hometown of Tacoma, WA. I had an amazing time getting to know such an inspiring woman who is so deeply connected to her craft. The labor of love she puts into her pieces is so inspiring.
