Washington doesn`t have a shortage of beautiful places to take family photos. Finding a gorgeous location isn`t a problem.

Making sure the photos actually look like your family — that`s where it gets interesting. I mean, does your family usually prance around in a field while wearing your Sunday best?

Here`s how I approach outdoor sessions differently, and why your backyard might be the best location we`ve got.

Are you moving this summer? There is no better time to book an in home session and make sure you capture all those little rituals that have made your house a home.

I’m currently taking limited bookings through the end of August and would love to help capture your life here in Washington!

Little Fish Photo is back!!!

It’s been a hot minute since I closed down operations to move out east with my family. However, I am excited to announce that I am back in Washington and booking lifestyle photo sessions that focus on storytelling, honesty, and the magic of the ordinary.

And now is the time to start booking your session, Kitsap County! That gorgeous summer weather is just around the corner. ...

My Stromanthe Triostar. She`s a hot mess; less than perfect color, battered leaves, some sunburn and crispy edges. But she keeps dancing with the light and pushing forth new leaves. Despite the winter and some battle scars she`s still thriving. She`s a damn inspiration. (And I`m really proud I haven`t accidentally killed her yet.)

Sometimes I wonder how many hours of my adult life have been spent in front of the kitchen sink. At this stage in my life the kitchen seems to have a gravitational pull all its own. It`s an outlet for frustration when putting away dishes seems to be the only source of control and point of impact I can create. It`s the origin point of so many celebratory meals and baked goods during times of joy. It`s all the monotonous moments in between that simply keep us rolling from one day to the next.

Practicing gratitude that we have all survived the very strange and emotional national odyssey that was this past month.

January is wrapping up. We are starting February and I, for one, am intensely hopeful about what the rest of this year has in store.

Last spring, when we all still had high hopes that this whole COVID thing would blow over in a matter of weeks, we enrolled our daughter in preschool for the 20`-21` school year. We were so excited to send her. She was so excited to go.

Then, fall tiptoed closer and COVID remained ever present. So we decided to pull her enrollment rather than risk something worse than the bronchiolitis and/or pneumonia she has a history of developing with the common cold. So I`m back to having a little kid at home full time.

Right around the start of the school year my friend @mcamorpeggy mentioned online storytime & art classes hosted through @orangeeaselart and I signed up in a desperate attempt to provide some sort of structure to our daughter`s week.

It`s been a lifesaver.

It`s not perfect. Some days she gets really impatient with the projects and really frustrated that she can`t quite get something just right. But most days she makes a glorious mess and continues to paint/draw/color/mold long after class has ended.
