Her eye for lighting, composition, and detail is outstanding. Every photo looked like it belonged in a magazine—vibrant colors, perfect framing, and such genuine emotion captured in every shot. She was also fantastic at capturing those spontaneous, candid moments that really tell a story.

These galleries highlight engagement sessions that feel genuine to each couple’s story. As a Tacoma engagement photographer, my focus is on documenting the moments and interactions that naturally define your relationship—the subtle touches, easy laughter, and quiet looks that say everything without trying too hard.

Each session is lightly guided so you can relax and simply be together. The goal is for your photos to reflect your real dynamic, your energy, and the connection that makes your relationship yours.

With careful editing and an intentional approach, these images are created to stand the test of time—something you’ll return to again and again as a meaningful snapshot of this season in your life.

  My Tacoma couples sessions are easygoing, fun, and centered on documenting the connection you actually share—not just how you look together, but how it feels to be in the moment. We leave the stiff posing behind and make room for real movement and interaction—laughing, walking, cuddling, dancing, or whatever feels natural to you. I’ll step in with light direction when helpful, but my approach is mostly about giving your story space to unfold on its own.

After photographing many couples throughout the Tacoma area, I’m comfortable working with the Pacific Northwest’s ever-changing light and weather—from soft gray skies to brief pockets of sun. I lean into the mood these conditions create while staying flexible if we need to pivot.

Every image is edited with care to stay true to life. Colors remain natural, with a subtle warmth that enhances the emotion and atmosphere without feeling overdone. Whether you're planning an engagement session, marking an anniversary, or simply want to document this season of your relationship, my goal is to create photographs that feel honest to you—capturing the quiet, meaningful moments that make your story one of a kind.

The Process

Genna is a long time friend of mine and used me as a subject for boudoir shoot and both me and my husband for a couples session. I absolutely love her dreamy and emotional quality. For the couple shoot, she did a wonderful job of posing us. I model part time but my husband doesn't spend a lot of time behind a camera, so her skills in using prompts to create a very organic and natural feeling image was very helpful. Nothing is more frustrating than walking away from a photography session with a gallery of awkward pictures, and I promise Genna will have you feeling comfortable and enjoying the process thoroughly, regardless of your experience with being a subject.

Tacoma engagement Photography FAQs

1. Do you pose couples, or is it more candid?
In my Tacoma sessions, I focus on capturing real connection and genuine emotion. I provide gentle guidance to help with comfort, light, or positioning, but most of the session flows naturally. This approach lets your relationship unfold authentically in front of the camera.

2. How do you help couples feel at ease?
I know being photographed can feel intimidating. My approach is relaxed and intuitive: I give light direction when needed, create space for interaction, and encourage you to simply be yourselves. This helps your personalities shine and lets real, unposed moments emerge.

3. How long does a typical engagement session last?
Most sessions in Tacoma last 1 hour. This gives us time for natural movement, exploring different spots, and even outfit changes while keeping the experience relaxed and fun.

4. What happens if it rains or is overcast?
Tacoma’s weather is famously unpredictable, but overcast skies create soft, flattering light that works beautifully for photos. A little drizzle can even add intimacy and character to your session. I always stay flexible and embrace the natural conditions.

5. How do we pick the best locations in Tacoma?
I guide couples to locations that match your style, personalities, and vision for the session. You can choose from my Tacoma location guide or suggest a spot that’s meaningful to you, ensuring your photos feel personal and unique. Some of my favorites include Owen Beach, Point Defiance, and the state capitol building. 

6. How many images will we receive, and what’s your editing style?
You’ll get a carefully curated gallery of fully edited images, typically 70-100. My editing style is natural and timeless, enhancing light and colors with subtle warmth while preserving the emotion and atmosphere of your moments.

7. How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking at least 2 months ahead to secure your preferred dates and locations. Popular Tacoma spots and seasonal light fill up quickly, so early planning ensures a smooth, stress-free experience.

8. How do we reserve our date?
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send a contract and invoice. Your session is officially reserved when the signed contract and nonrefundable $200 deposit are returned. From there, I guide you through session planning to make everything seamless and easy.
