THE JOURNAL

A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with Matoli Keely Photography on Clubhouse all about juggling two careers – one in science and one in photography. Both of us have built our wedding photography businesses while scientists, so it was wonderful to be able to chat about how we did it […]

This Seattle lifestyle motherhood session is one of my favorites to date! Last fall I was welcomed into the home of a friend from high school who married her high school sweetheart (like Matt and I) and has the sweetest boy named Ulysses.

Last Friday I had a chat with Lucy Munoz Photography on Clubhouse about how to plan your own wedding styled shoot to elevate your brand and attract your dream clients.

In the heart of Normandy sits a beautiful chateau called Chateau de Carsix. Surrounded by dreamy fields, every morning one can hear the church bell ringing in town. Our bride rises to meet the grey clouds as winter turns into a beautiful spring day. The reception table is set for her intimate wedding in France […]

Since Clubhouse is a live chat app, we unfortunately couldn’t record the conversation, but I wanted to give you a run down of what we discussed because it was […]
