I have been through a lot in life and have often felt torn down by things that are out of my control. I recently separated from my husband and even if it was a needed separation it has been hard on me and on my self esteem. I am getting back to loving me , just the way I am, and this session helped me to boost my confidence. It has also reminded me that I am more then "just a mom" , it ok for me to go out and get pictures done without my kids ❤️ !!

All my clients ask me at booking, what do I need to do to get ready for my shoot? There are some key topics that really make a huge impact on your images; hair and makeup, skin prep, and nails are vital above and beyond outfit selection.

Becoming a mother meant so much more than anything I could have dreamed of. Russell M. Nelson once said, "The highest and noblest work in this life is that of a mother."

Being pregnant has its ups and downs and it’s not always magical and beautiful. Sometimes it’s messy and that’s ok too. This is Shelby’s story that she bravely share about how motherhood to her third was not all that she expected it to be.

the experience was one I will never forget. I spent the day bouncing around Tacoma to capture stunning photos with beautiful architectural buildings as my backdrop. Elle encouraged me to choose locations that coincided with my personality.

“Little did I know as Elle and I talked, the vision of a fun sassy and extremely cocky shoot fell to the wayside. I was tired of hiding and pretending I was okay. I was tired of the expectation to project what others deemed as a comfortable version of me. So, I sent photos and my ideas of raw, earth shattering, heart wrenching emotions I wanted to portray.”
