ABOUT ME
Hey there, I’m Claire!
I specialize in high school senior photography and elopement photography. I'm based in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley and grew up here, so I’ve spent many years exploring every corner of this place to find the best photo spots. While Snoqualmie Valley is home, I photograph throughout Washington and am open for travel as well.
​
Senior and grad portraits are my longtime specialty. There’s something so meaningful about capturing people at this exciting, transitional time in life. Over time, I’ve also fallen in love with documenting couples, which led me to expand my work into couples, engagement, and elopement photography. While I photograph a variety of sessions, I focus on seniors, couples, and intimate wedding experiences rather than large weddings or events.
​
I truly admire the beauty of nature as well as the beauty of people, thus photography is perfect for me as it lets me create art out of these two things. I'm a huge believer in preserving memories, so I love knowing that I provide clients with pictures that'll be cherished for a lifetime!
​
I would say my style is a mix of modern yet natural - I love focusing on colors and fun backgrounds while still allowing the subject to look and feel like themselves. I like for my photos to be a vibe rather than just a person in front of a background. Each image is a work of art to me.
​
If you’re worried about feeling awkward or not knowing how to pose, don’t be! I’ve got you. My goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.​
Let’s make some magic together!​​
WHAT I DO
While you're welcome to inquire for any non-event related portraits, these are my specialties! More detailed information about all types of shoots can be seen under the "Session Information" page.
I’ve been working exclusively with high school seniors for over a decade. As a 2018 grad myself, I know just how fast this season flies by. Senior year feels like a lifetime ago, and I’ve learned firsthand how priceless it is to have photos that capture this stage of your life.
​
My senior sessions are designed to feel fun, easy, and true to you. They include custom locations, multiple outfits, and you get to choose the photos you want! I always take a mix of shots from all distances, so you’ll have the headshots you need as well as a variety of others.​
​
All of my high school senior sessions also include the option to take family photos during our time together.
​
We're at our best when we live in ways that are true to who we are at our cores, and your wedding day should be no different.
​
I'm here to help craft an elopement experience that celebrates who you are, resulting in a wedding day that couldn't feel more "you."​
​
And of course, I'll capture it all through heartfelt images that preserve the emotions, moments, and memories so your loved ones can feel like they were right there beside you.
Graduation brings out alll the feelings! A milestone that was once hard to imagine is now a quickly-approaching reality. Whether you’re tossing your cap, hugging your parents, or laughing with friends, these are the bittersweet moments that will feel so special to look back on someday. A cap & gown session is the perfect way to celebrate the end of this chapter and the beginning of the next.
​
I work with both highschool and college grads.
I strive to capture love in a genuine and candid manner. Every love story is different and that's one of my favorite things about working with couples! I approach every session with an open mind, making sure your personalities and relationship shine through, while keeping it relaxed and enjoyable. My sessions come out clean, crisp, and timeless, with a little non-traditional twist to keep things fun and fresh. It's important that our time together feels like an unforgettable date rather than just a photoshoot.
​
Whether it’s your engagement, elopement or just because, I would be honored to capture your love!
