MEET JONI
I am a fun-loving, adventure-having natural light photographer from the Pacific Northwest. I love to travel as much as I love sitting at home binging FRIENDS, Parks and Rec, or the Big Bang Theory! I'm obsessed with peppermint chai lattes - with almond milk, fruit snacks, and comedies that make you belly laugh!
While I also love shooting families and portraits, I LIVE for your WEDDING DAY! I do all I can to make sure that this is the most special day of your life, that your love is captured in timeless romantic images and all the details, emotions, and little moments of the day add up to tell your unique love story.But most of all, I LOVE connecting with my clients and the relationships I build with them!
Hi There! I'm Joni
I love building relationships with the sweet people I get to work with. Connecting is key to ensure an amazing experience! I also love bonding over the same shows!
If you believe:
It’s always appropriate to carry emergency s'more rations in your car…..
Feeling comfortable with the person behind the camera is key to reducing your nerves and fully enjoying your wedding day (that’s where I come in!)…..
You are a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox…..
Then you should reach out so we can start becoming best friends already!

We have three fur babies! We adopted our adult cat, Charlie, from our local humane society a few years ago. He is the sweetest and cuddliest kitty! Little miss Molly is our Cavapoo, part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and part poodle and we absolutely ADORE her! But our most recent addition is our puppy Copper, a Great Pyrenees and Irish Setter Mix! He's since grown into a 100lb puppy!

MEET MY FAMILY!
My husband, Anthony, and I have been married since 2011 and have recently celebrated our 12 year anniversary! We are a blended family. My oldest two kiddos are Arika and Jordan. Gabriel, who is Anthony's son, and we have our youngest, Addie, together. We also have two pups, our Cavapoo, Molly, and our Great Pyrenees and Irish Setter mix, Copper. We absolutely ADORE them! We also have another fur baby - our kitty, Charlie, who we adopted several years ago from our local Humane Society.
We love family days with our kids whether it's a lazy at home movie day, family game night, or a trip to the coast!
MEET MY SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER, CHELSEA!
Chelsea is my AMAZING second photographer. I am not exaggerating when I say that my wedding days wouldn't flow nearly as smooth without her by my side! She completes my team and is wonderful at what she does!
From hanging out with the groom and groomsmen capturing candid getting ready shots, to fluffing the dress and veil, to organizing groups during family formals, she's outstanding! I include her as a second photographer in all of my wedding collections because I feel that it's vital to have another person there to help not only capture angles that I can't at the same time but also assisting me in all the other things throughout the day!
Chelsea is a wife and momma to two sweet boys. They also have the most beautiful goldens ever, Timber and London! She enjoys camping, being outdoors, and of course, serving our couples alongside me while we capturing epic wedding days!
This is what I do! Come along with me behind the scenes and see what it's like to do a session with me!
We love our family time! Soaking up these moments with our kiddos before they enter into their adult lives and take on the world is the season we are in right now. Even as teenagers, and one already graduated about to leave for the air force, our kiddos still love our traditional fall trips to the pumpkin patch and snuggling around the hot chocolate bar at Christmas-time.
I have a serious sweet tooth! Lemon meringue pie and Ferrero Rocher chocolates are my most FAVORITE!
Honestly though, anything -especially with chocolate is a win. Though who doesn't LOVE a nice big bowl of fresh berries on a summer day?? Sorry - I LOVE food haha!
I love giving back through my business! One of the most rewarding moments was when I held a free senior portrait session day for foster kids. It included hair + makeup and pizza! I have also hosted several mini session events where all proceeds were donated to local battered women's shelters and the children's ministries within our church. It feels amazing to be a part of something bigger than myself, giving back and doing good in my community.
In giving my clients the BEST photographic experience possible. One way I ensure that is through forming a relationship with them! I try my best to make sure we are a perfect fit before booking. You should connect with your photographer and be EXCITED about the whole process with them!
Capturing precious moments, like a father seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time while she dabs tears from his cheek, is one of many that you'll treasure forever. I'll most likely be crying with you right behind my camera!
Photos are absolutely priceless and the relationships I gain through my business are just as sweet. I have walked through life with so many of my clients now, photographing so many monumental moments in their lives and watching their families grow.
I am here to laugh with you, cry with you, celebrate with you, and to give you those precious moments to treasure!
