  • Ciolek Family | Puyallup, Washington

     This is almost way too much awesomeness packed into one photo session. Period. Love this family!

    P.S. Shelly Ciolek (the mom) is an incredible wedding coordinator, having hundreds of weddings under her belt. She even did ours! Shelly definitely knows what she is doing, making sure that every last detail falls into place. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! She’s energetic, flexible, and helps everything flow so smoothly! She’s incredible. We highly recommend her.

  • Kevin & Laura Part 2 | Dallas, Oregon

    Kevin proposed to Laura in Paris, so their table seating chart was a map of Paris, with each of the tables named after famous buildings and parks nearby. Such a cool idea.

    Such gorgeous and intricate beading on her dress!

  • Kevin & Laura Part 1 | Dallas, Oregon

    A couple years ago, Kevin talked with me about photographing his wedding. Two years later he wrote and said the wedding was on and they wanted me to photograph it! Kevin, your bride is beautiful! I could tell you guys had a blast celebrating your big day with all your guests, and even had a hard time leaving!

  • Becker Family Renion | Grapeview, Washington

    What an honor being a part of these guy’s family reunion by taking their portraits here at their lake house in Washington! Just thought I’d share a few of my favorites along with a few bloopers. :)

  • I Got Married!!!

    I love life. I love that God created it so that we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. And among all else that I love that I now have a new name!

    Its been a while…a looooong while since I’ve updated photography sessions and weddings these past few months. But more important than updating those right now is letting you know the whirlwind of changes that have happened in my life. And I’ve never really been one to write about myself on a blog, so this’ll be a bit of a stretch. ;)

    August 28th, I married the man I have been praying for, Eric Lantzer (to read our story, go to http://lantzerandeasling.ourwedding.com/). I had no face to my prayers as a young girl praying for my future husband…until this last year.

    Both Eric and I are so grateful we remained pure before marriage, because it has made our marriage and oneness so much richer. Daily, he is a true reflection of Christ’s living work in his life, serving, leading, and encouraging me in my walk with Christ. He points me to Christ. He leads by example. He gives so sacrificially. He is a picture of Christ laying down His life for the church.

    Life is definitely an adventure being married to Eric! Not only did we leave and cleave by moving here to Texas, but he constantly surprises me…everything from discovering a gigantic walking stick in the lunch box he brought home to love notes he strategically places in the house for me to find throughout the day.

    Eric I wouldn’t trade being married to you for anything! I admire and love you so! You make life so fun! I love being your wife. Total understatement.
