Rachel & Matthew | Seattle Ferry Boat Engagement

May 25, 2022

Traveled with these two lovebirds on a ferry boat from Seattle to Vashon Island to capture all the giddiness of their love before they get married!

We had a quick trip across the sound with a few photos on deck before arriving on Vashon Island. The spring sun shone on the deserted beach while we walked in the sand and we were blessed with a boatload of wind on the return trip for a rapid, action-packed ferry session before we all froze. It was the perfect evening!

Rachel & Matthew, we’re so excited for you two. There are so many adventures ahead for you as a couple, including your wedding day next year, can’t wait! ~Erik & Marissa

Locke Family Maternity | Washington Park Arboretum

May 10, 2022

When one of our forever families grow, it’s always such an honor (and exciting news) to hear from them!

This sweet trio will become a family of 4 this summer and I can’t wait to meet their newest little one. We were chatting while walking through the blooming trees at the Arboretum and figured out that this maternity session was our 5th session together! I seriously do have the best job seeing my families again and again throughout the years.

Congrats Locke family! Shaleen, you are glowing and beautiful, just like your last pregnancy. So happy for you all during this exciting time! See you soon. ~Marissa

Katie | Seattle Senior Photographer

May 3, 2022

As a more normal graduation approaches this year, high school senior Katie mentioned she felt lucky while we walked along the beach during her senior photo session. When I asked her why? (Isn’t this a crazy time to be a student?!) She answered that she was lucky to start high school with a normal year pre-pandemic and finish high school as a senior in person. Such a positive view coming from this smart, kind, young woman!

We had such a blast creating some fun, natural images for her senior year. As a swimmer she loves the beach and wanted to incorporate this iconic spot. Golden hour was perfection and we finished with a bit of pink hour as well, how lucky indeed!

Congrats Katie (and all the seniors this year)! I’m feeling lucky we met and got to work together on this big milestone. Have so much fun celebrating all your accomplishments! ~Marissa

Sarah & Brian | Golden Gardens Engagement

April 5, 2022

They met through mutual friends and had their first date just down the street from Golden Gardens, in Ballard. In true Seattle fashion they got engaged in the rain and have been excitedly planning their wedding ever since!

It was the perfect evening to celebrate their engagement with photos on the beach- empty, but warm, a little sunshine, and the sweetest pup.

Congratulations Sarah & Brian! Can’t wait to celebrate on the big day! ~Marissa & Erik

Bokshi-Drotar Family | Seattle Newborn Photographer

March 30, 2022

Our fourth session together was the sweetest! We love seeing our families as they change and grow. This adorable family moved to Seattle several years ago with their first baby and we’ve had the honor of documenting them ever since!

The newest addition to the family was perfect in every way. She yawned, slept, and didn’t even make a peep our entire session. Big sister was the opposite, giggling, jumping (when I asked her), and gently holding her sister, already a big helper to mom and dad at such a young age.

Thank you for letting me meet her and capture this moment in your lives together! ~Marissa
