Welcome and thank you for visiting my website!

In 2000, I opened the doors to my studio. I shoot everything from commercial print to weddings and now senior portraits. My photographs have appeared in advertisements in Vogue Magazine, Martha Stewart Magazine, Weis Brand Dog Food, Lunar Venture Wine Labels and even a couple of billboards. One of my photo graced the cover of the 2007 wedding guide by the Stanwood Camano News. I am also a Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Super Monday Instructor.

My approach to senior portraits is a combination of fashion and photojournalism. In any kind of shoot, my objective is to tell a story. With senior portraits, I am adding cutting edge techniques that I use when shooting my commercial assignments. The result is fresh modern images that show the real you! I truly love what I do and would be thrilled to shoot your portrait, either in our studio, your location or your special event!

I have a degree in Architecture and has worked in Marketing most of my career. This career has developed my eye for detail and truly beautiful art. I truly love to work with people and enjoy in sharing in the moment with you. You will not likely find another company that will put the level of individual attention and dedication that we provide each and every client. I capture life as it happens, in fact that is our motto. "Life Captured"

We got our name through bringing hope to others. A few years back we took in a horse that was starved and we turned him around and he is having a brilliant equestrian career. He was the continuation of 'bringing home strays' that began when I was a kid. I can’t ignore the helpless or the lost, I also try to stop and help – even in the rain.

The studio is a family-owned business and is operated by myself and my husband Steven. We pride ourselves on our reputation of quality, service, and professionalism that will make your photographs memorable forever. You can be assured that you will receive excellent service before AND after your special day.
