Birth Photographer

I have known Tiffany and Keith since we first met many years ago discussing their upcoming wedding. As my website declares, “The sight of a Tacoma extended cab, packed to the gills with mountain bikes and kayaks, lights a fire to my imagination.

Capturing all the raw emotions before, during and after- I’m energized by these types of unrehearsed moments. But after pondering it, I think…
