#VanLife

I've always fantasized about buying a cute retro van and fixing it up to go on epic cross-country adventures. 

Thanks to Van In Queen Anne, I got to indulge my little fantasy with a fun photo shoot. 

Give me all the retro vibes!

Alice: Spring in Seattle

Oh to be young, wild, and free again. 

Is there anything more infectious than a child's unbridled joy at the simplest pleasures? All it takes is a little sunshine and a puddle to bring out this girl's sweet smile.

Kelsey + Matt: A Winter Engagement

When I moved across the country to the Pacific Northwest, I couldn't have imagined the natural beauty that awaited me. Rocky crags, immeasurably old forests, mossy halls, and thundering waterfalls are just a short drive away from the vibrant city of Seattle. 

It's a photographer's DREAM. 

And in winter? Well, in winter, it's magical. 

Kelsey and Matt wanted to capture some of that winter magic in their engagement session. So, we packed up our gear and set off on an epic adventure straight out of a fairy tale.

Atlanta Portrait Session

"And the rest is rust and stardust."
-Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

There's something romantic about old things.  It's like the rust and dust hold echoes of the past, and I almost feel like I'm stepping through time. 

Unsurprisingly, I leapt at the chance to shoot a portrait session in an old railway museum. Most of the trains are in remarkably good condition, and they made an absolutely perfect backdrop

Devin and Patrick: Georgia Wedding at Rocky's Lake Estate

"Alice: How long is forever?

White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second!"

-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I'm so excited to share photos from Devin and Patrick's Alice-in-Wonderland-themed wedding in Georgia. Not everyone gets to marry their high school sweetheart, but that's just what these two did on a mild October day, surrounded by family and friends. 

Congratulations, you two!
