Five years ago, I was fresh out of college and had just moved to Seattle. I was still working on getting my photography business up and running, so I thought it would be a neat opportunity to work as a photo intern for The Reign, Seattle’s team in the NWSL. I remember seeing Jane (the team’s official photographer,) shooting for the first time, and being in awe of her work style and her skill. We chatted occasionally, but I didn’t get the chance to know her until 3 years later when she invited me on a coffee date. We hit it off, and she asked if I’d be interested in doing some second shooting at her upcoming weddings.

The rest is history, as they say, and I’m so happy I get to consider this lady a colleague and a friend. Jane is one of the most hard-working, kind, and authentic people I know. It would be an understatement to say she inspires me daily.

So of course, it felt like a huge honor to photograph her little family this winter! We tromped around Discovery Park, playing with her amazing pup, Yoda, and catching up with her and her super-cool husband, Galen. Scroll through and soak in all the yummy sunshine and puppy love that this session had to offer.
