Hello, I’m Shari—a Pacific Northwest soul through and through. Born in Bellevue, raised between Seattle and Idaho, and now happily rooted on the stunning Olympic Peninsula. I feel endlessly grateful to live where the ocean meets the mountains. I love the perfect blend of our small-town warmth with the closeness of Seattle. On any given day, you might find me snowboarding, beachcombing, walking the Olympic Discovery Trail, cheering on the Mariners, or soaking up life with my daughters and grandson.
I wear many hats—wife, mom to four incredible girls, a proud “Gma” to a sweet baby boy, a substitute teacher at my daughter's school, and a portrait photographer! Our bustling home includes 2 dogs, 2 chickens, a cat, a bunny, and even an axolotl in my photography studio!
Photography is where my spirit comes alive. Since opening my business in 2014, I’ve become devoted to creating timeless, true-to-life imagery that celebrates both who you are and the breathtaking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. From the towering peaks of the Olympics to cascading waterfalls, moss-covered forests, lavender fields, and the rhythmic Pacific shoreline—every session is a perfect blend of your story and the natural beauty all around us.
My purpose is simple: when you open your gallery, I want you to feel the emotion behind each photograph—not just admire a beautiful image. Every season, milestone, and quiet in-between moment deserves to be captured with intention.
With years of experience guiding natural posing and finding soft, flattering light, I bring your vision to life with ease, artistry, and care. Whether you’re celebrating maternity, welcoming a newborn, marking a graduate’s next chapter, capturing the tenderness of a couple, documenting a wedding day, honoring your family legacy, indulging in fine-art boudoir, or photographing your beloved pets—Your story deserves to be captured with intention and elegance. These are the images that will outlive us, cherished for generations.
Now, tell me about you. I can’t wait to hear your story, dream alongside you, and create something beautiful—truly unforgettable—together.
