Amelia - Model - Long Beach, California

Amelia is basically a real life Disney princess, AM I RIGHT? She is English & Egyptian and has the loveliest English accent.

We spent a fun evening in Long Beach, California shooting around the waterfront and the lighthouse beach park. It was a gorgeous late Spring evening at golden hour. I really wanted to highlight her beautiful skin and get a nice added glow to sparkle in the sunshine. I liked the juxtaposition of the harsher sun light mixed with the warmth of golden hour by the beach. I also wanted to add in some 1960s Italian screen siren vibes with the wardrobe.

She and her boyfriend drove down from LA and I’m so grateful that they did so we could work together finally! We had been meaning to shoot together when she lived in Seattle but it worked out shooting her in her new home area. Thanks so much for being such a fun model & a total sweetheart, Amelia!

Kathleen - Senior Portraits - Seattle Waterfront

Kathleen is a soon to be Marketing major graduate of Seattle University. She's originally from Singapore and was active in different activities, honor society and her sorority.

We had a blast shooting on the waterfront by the Ferris wheel in downtown Seattle. It was a mega busy Saturday night with a lot of prom going teenagers hanging about, but Kathleen was super patient with the portrait process and me doing crazy poses to crop people out as I was photographing her :) Really need to have someone do a behind the scenes of me working with my clients because I can look pretty dang cray with my squats and stance.

Kathleen has great style and was wearing some awesome rings and opal hoop earrings I was seriously envious of! She did glam sunset inspired eye makeup on herself too which went amazing with our sunset on the waterfront vibe.

Have an amazing time with your family on your graduation trip around Europe! You deserve it lovely lady! x

Alex Rees - Fashion Blogger - Olympic Sculpture Park

So happy to have met and taken photographs of miss Alex Rees. She just moved to Seattle after graduating college in England. During her travels around the States and the world, she decided to start a fashion blog.

I'm super honored to be the first person to ever photograph her professionally + take photographs for her blog. We shot 3 separate looks for her blog at the Olympic Sculpture Park. I love her polished and refined style. I had such a blast talking about British culture with her during the session! AHHHH I can't wait to go to England :)

I would love to start working with more fashion bloggers. Seattle blogger babes, hit me up!
