Melnichuk family newborn 8.7.22

I had the honor of capturing another special milestone for the Melnichuk family at Christianson nursery and greenhouse, in Mount Vernon WA. Welcome baby Jason! These photos were taken a day after little one was born and Lilly you are one strong mama! We originally planned on scheduling a family maternity session, but Jason arrived early and was such a delight to meet him.

Roman + Anastasia + Vienna

My last family session of 2021!

This last min inquiry came as a referral from another recent session. Lately my schedule has been booked out completely but I fortunately had availability a week before Christmas for their family shoot. Temps were quite low but they were brave and handled the outdoor winter session like champs! We definitely lucked out on weather because this was the only sunny day of the week! We were blessed with some AMAZING golden hour light right before sunset!

Melnichuk Family

Such a lovely time meeting the Melichuk family in Seattle. This was our first time meeting, but it felt like we have know each other for years! They are SO kind and sweet, little Alex was was such a chill fun baby to work with and made this session a breeze. I enjoyed capturing every moment from this shoot, couldn’t of asked for a better family to photograph!

Phynesse & Micky

I couldn’t of asked for a more dreamy beach elopement! I have only DREAMED of capturing a couples special elopement on the Oregon Coast. Phynesse reached out to me about a month before her and Micky’s planned elopement. We were childhood friends & haven’t seen or talked to each other in 15+ years! When Phynesse told me that her and Micky wanted to do an intimate beach elopement, I was super excited and thrilled that they thought of me. I met with Phynesse & Micky bright and early for sunrise photos to beat the crowds on a busy Saturday in Septemeber. If you know me, I TRY my best to beat crowds If possible.

We planned on doing a first look, Micky was blindfolded the entire drive (15 min) to Cannon beach and our walk to Haystack Rock. When we arrived to Cannon Beach, it was very foggy to the point we couldn’t see Haystack Rock from the car. As we continued walking to the beach, we could see more and more of the beautiful rock formations. We literally couldn’t of had better moody & dreamy weather. During our session Phynesse & Micky made it so easy for me- with their relaxed, fun, & positive energy. Also, their love for one another, they made this shoot so much fun!
