In 2017, my husband and I purchased a very quaint, yet charming mid-century home in the Burien (just outside of Seattle city lines).

Flowers are a Girl's Best Friend After 2 years, I finally had the chance to do another photoshoot with Ms.Lindsey Marie (@mslenzeymarie) who I had photographed once before, in my Kardiel showcase. When I first met Lindsey, she had become a new resident of the Seattle area looking for opportunities. Now, she is a well established gal! Lindsey frequently models as a hobby and is now nearly complete with her massage therapy program. For this session, Lindsey and I met at the Vol

Creating a Bohemian Out of a Bohemian Soul I first met Monica Fischer (IG: @strength.of.spirit) at a mutual friend’s wedding over the past summer. From first meeting this girl, I could tell that she was a beautiful and free soul! Monica is a person who has dedicated much of what she has learned in yoga and life to helping others. She specializes in yoga therapy for those who have been through traumatic experiences. When posting on Facebook that I intended to do ONE last sessi

Making a Model... A GODDESS Say hellooooo to my model, Makenna Love (IG: @MakennaLove_Modeling). This gorgeous, young lady volunteered for my project that we ended up titling, “Golden Goddess” (for obvious reasons!). In creating this look, Makenna had to sit for a few hours while I placed massive amounts of glitter, body glue, and adorned her face with pearls. We knew this look had come together when there was enough glitz that would put almost Beyoncé to shame. When the fina

Creating a Superhero I wanted to do something that displayed power and courage, but in a galactic, superhero way! I collaborated with my husband, Cody, on the design since he is an avid comic book reader. I was inspired by DC’s Blue Beetle for the facial patterns and straight lines. Using Mehron’s metallic paints and tape, I created what we came to call “The Silver Spartan“. My model, Umaru Haruna (IG: @visionsofumaru), was fantastic for this role. Having the physique and the

"Won't you come back to bed?" | Dudoir Needing to expand my portfolio, I contacted a model that I had worked with before – Ravyn K. Celestino. We had worked together previously on the Kardiel photoshoot (see his gallery here). My experience with Ravyn has been filled with laughter and ease. I knew that I would feel comfortable shooting a dudoir (the male version of a boudoir) with Ravyn and that we could produce some fabulous photos! I asked him if he’d be up to shooting a d

Sunset, She Is As part of a collaboration with Daniel Keane of Serenza Salon, I created this look with model, Catherine DiSpigno! Catherine is a teen model from Bellingham (IG: catherine_d_modeling) and was willing to dye her hair sunset colors just for this shoot. She was such a trooper – sitting for hours of makeup, modeling for the photography, and completed the removal process for all of the makeup. Photographing her was easy! She is a smiley, young girl who is ready to t
