At Life Edit Photography, I prioritize authenticity over perfection every time. Gone are the days of carefully posed, overly polished, and heavily edited photos. You want to remember the moment as it was—lively, vibrant, and, yes…sometimes a little messy.
I specialize in working with couples and individuals who want to create lasting memories in nature. My outdoor portrait photography and elopement photography packages give clients a chance to document their most precious moments in the places they love most.
Individuals | Couples | Engagements | Seniors | Outdoor Lifestyle Sessions
From intimate ceremonies to multi-day adventures, I’ll help document your celebration in a way that feels intentional, personal, and true to your story.
I specialize in photographing people as they actively experience their lives rather than simply placing them in front of a beautiful background. My work brings together outdoor adventure, movement, environmental portraiture, and meaningful storytelling.
You shouldn’t have to worry about a series of forced poses. Instead, I focus on movement, connection, and the moments that naturally unfold throughout your session.
For me, the outdoors isn’t simply a beautiful backdrop. It’s part of the experience. The places we choose add meaning to every photograph, whether it’s a place filled with memories or somewhere you’ve always dreamed of exploring.
Because I spend so much of my own life exploring the outdoors, I’m comfortable adapting to changing weather, natural light, movement, and terrain. That experience allows you to focus on enjoying the moment while I handle the planning, guidance, and logistics.
I provide clear guidance throughout the process so clients do not need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. I help with planning, preparation, location selection, movement, and posing while keeping the experience relaxed and personal.
Whether that means hiking to an alpine lake, wandering through towering pines, sharing coffee at sunrise, or simply slowing down together, the experience is just as important as the photographs.
I prioritize:
My goal is to capture photos that bring you back to the moments, emotions, and experiences behind them.
We’ll talk about your vision beyond outfits and lighting. We’ll choose a location that reflects your story. Maybe that’s your favorite trail, the lake where you spend every summer, or somewhere completely new that represents the adventure you’re about to begin, and create an experience that feels like you.
Instead of worrying about posing, you’ll focus on enjoying the moment while I guide you naturally through it.
Your photographs become reminders of the places, people, and moments that shaped this chapter of your life.
Photography has never been about creating perfect images.
It’s about preserving the experiences that shape our lives.
As someone who spends my own free time exploring the outdoors, I understand why certain places become part of our stories.
That’s why I don’t believe the best photographs happen when people stand perfectly still.
They happen while you’re laughing together on the trail, catching your breath after reaching the summit, wandering beneath towering pines, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with someone you love.
My goal isn’t simply to document how you looked.
It’s to preserve what this chapter of your life felt like.
Life Edit Photography was built on the belief that the moments shaping our lives deserve more than a quick snapshot. Every adventure, relationship, milestone, and quiet morning outdoors becomes part of the story we’re writing.
When I’m not photographing clients, you’ll usually find me hiking, climbing, backpacking, or exploring the Inland Northwest with my family. Those adventures don’t just inspire my work. They’re why I started Life Edit Photography in the first place.
Whether you’re celebrating your relationship, graduating, planning an intimate elopement, or simply wanting photographs that genuinely reflect who you are, I’d love to help you create an experience that’s every bit as memorable as the images themselves.
Let’s take photographs that reflect this season of your life.
Absolutely. Most of my clients tell me this before their session. I’ll guide you naturally so you never have to worry about how to pose or what to do.
I’ll provide outfit recommendations that complement both the location and your personal style.
Nature is part of the experience. We’ll monitor conditions together and adjust plans if needed—but some of the most memorable photographs happen when the weather surprises us.
If the location permits dogs, then absolutely!
Of course! It means so much more when we go to locations that mean something to you.
Maybe:
That location is part of the story.
If hiking isn’t your thing, we can choose a location that better fits your preferences.
I’ll happily travel throughout the Inland Northwest and beyond. Whether you’re dreaming of a local forest, an alpine lake, or an epic destination, I’m always open to an adventure. Travel costs vary depending on the location, and I’ll provide a custom quote for destinations outside my standard service area.
Years from now, your photographs should remind you of more than just how you looked. They should bring you back to how it felt to stand there, to laugh together, to breathe in the mountain air, and to experience that moment in your life. Let’s create an adventure you’ll never forget with photographs that help you relive it for years to come.
