Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… outdoors with my darling boys. We love hiking, visiting our rocky beaches, and spending time in our garden. 

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… my husband and I once took a completely  spontaneous trip to Italy. We didn't book a single hotel or map out our travel beforehand… just hopped on a plane and went where our hearts took us! Venice, Cinque Terre, and Florence were just a few of my favourite places. 

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… So many! New Zealand & Greece are  at the top of my list. 

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… meeting incredible people, learning their stories, and traveling the world to serve them and their families brings me so much joy! Besides those cherished relationships, it is also a treasure to have a job that exists purely because of love, and to witness from behind my camera the unique and beautiful connections between people. 

IF I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR A JOB I WOULD BE… teaching of some kind. I have a Masters in Education and would love to teach the art of photography as a therapeutic craft to help children with emotional and behavioural disorders connect with the world around them. 

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE…plan the wedding of your dreams, but prepare for the MARRIAGE of your dreams. Keep dating throughout the wedding planning process and put loving each other first.  Oh… and choose a photographer who will love and serve you as if you are their dearest friend. That is what you deserve! 

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… within an hour I can be in the heart of Seattle, the peak of the mountains, or taking a stroll on the beach. The Pacific Northwest is truly a wonderland!

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… somewhere by sea. There is simply nothing I find more peaceful or serene than the ocean. 

THE PETS I OWN ARE… my 7 year old Labradoodle Oliver is my big teddy bear! He gives abundant snuggles and is the most gentle and wonderful dog.
