Wa based photographer
serving cle elum, ellensburg & Suncadia
20 years ago, I arrived in the PNW and just a few short years ago moved to the Central Cascades. In my heart, this little spot in the Cascades has been home forever.
Savoring memories is part of my heritage. I am blessed to have photographs of my ancestors dating back to the mid-1800s. After losing my parents, these printed photographs are the keepsakes I treasure most. My parents documented our life and legacy and cultivated my love of history and photography for many years. Those portraits take me back in time for a short, sweet, moment; they are a gift I have learned to appreciate so much.

Photographers all begin their journeys in different ways, for different reasons. I think my passion for photography, in part, came from losing my parents early in life. But my path to becoming a photographer in Cle Elum was wide and winding, and my calling came from my family history combined with becoming a step mom to two amazing kids.

As a photography mentor, I am often asked what is in my camera bag and I’m always more than happy to share! It’s fun to peek inside another photographers bag and maybe even get new ideas for gear. But I also feel like it’s important to remember that at the end of the day, it isn’t the gear that matters as much as the knowledge to use it and the eye behind the lens.

One of the things I love about being a photographer is that I spend quite a bit of time getting to know my clients. I get to photograph many of my clients through multiple stages of life, as their family grows and they reach new personal and professional milestones. I thought it might be fun to share some of the things you might not learn about me during the course of our work together!
