Hi friends⭐️ Longggg time no post… I’m talking a 4 month hiatus! I figured it was time to pop back on and say THANK YOU for an incredible 2025. Whether you booked your senior session with me, followed along with my sports content, or simply watched a few stories—I appreciate you more than you know. I’ve been lucky enough to have my business grow each year & that is because of the positive feedback via social media / word of mouth. 2025 was truly the best. 

January through May, I poured my energy into sporting events with Gonzaga. Over the summer, I shifted gears into portrait sessions, attended a photography retreat, and even shot my first wedding🤍 Then from September through December, I STUDIED ABROAD—and intentionally took time off. (something I’ve never done before) It was truly an incredible experience. I was lucky enough to travel to 12 countries, and 2 continents. I did bring my camera along, I will share more content soon. 

With all of that being said, I am SO excited to jump back into work in 2026🤍 I’m starting the year off strong in Hawaii next week at a photography retreat before heading back to Spokane for my spring semester at Gonzaga. Beyond athletics, I’ll also be working with GU & WSU college grads this spring! I currently have a long waitlist for 2026 sessions (Seattle-based) and am not booking summer clients at the moment as I’ll be seeking out an internship👩‍💻 (big girl stuff!). Please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email to get on my waitlist for this year. Thanks again for allowing me the space to take time off, and come back!!
