Our son Noah died of a fentanyl overdose 3 years ago this month. 2 years ago. We snowshoed to Zeacliff in NH and scattered some of his ashes. It was a very special moment at one of my favorite spots. @lr_paul And I will be carrying his ashes for 170 mi on the Portuguese Camino the cathedral Santiago de Compostela in May. As Noah was Catholic, this would have been very important to him.

Some (horizontal) moments from a year of choosing a life of freedom and comfort….and, damn…it takes a lot of work 😅

Thank goodness for all the sweetness along the way.

Get on the damn bar.

Engagement photos don’t have to be stiff, overly posed, or focused on nailing the “perfect” smile at the camera. The best engagement photos happen when you lean into what actually feels like you. Whether that’s hopping up on a bar, ordering another round, wandering your favorite neighborhood, or laughing way too hard at an inside joke — that’s where the magic lives.

Your engagement session is a chance to do something a little bold, a little playful, and very main-character. It’s about movement, energy, connection, and letting your personalities lead instead of worrying about where to put your hands. When you’re having fun, your photos feel effortless, confident, and real — not performative.

As a Seattle engagement photographer, I focus on creating engagement photos that feel editorial, relaxed, and true to your relationship. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence. It’s documenting how you show up together, what makes you laugh, and what makes your love feel unmistakably yours.

So yes — get on the bar. Do the thing. Your engagement photos should feel like a snapshot of who you are right now, not a version of yourselves trying to look “right.”
