Hey there! I’m Whitley.

Growing up as a small-town Iowa girl, I always had a calling for the water—and in 2016, I packed up my dreams and moved to Washington to make that happen. Since then, my love for stories and being at the right place at the right time has turned into a creative adventure that I’m lucky enough to call my life.

My love for photography started young. As a kid, I had disposable cameras (which I would use way too quickly), and when my family bought our first digital camera, I thought it was the coolest thing on the planet. From there, I started doing “photoshoots” with friends and cousins. Soon enough, my own trusty string of digital cameras became my sidekick through high school and college, where I honed my passion for photography, design, and the art of connecting with people.

Over the years, I've worked in a variety of settings, from portraits and lifestyle shoots to events and branding. My style has evolved, but one thing has stayed consistent: I gravitate toward what’s natural. Whether I’m capturing a sunset at Ruby Beach or a branding session in the heart of the city, my goal is to make sure the environment speaks for itself while keeping the photos true to life—no over-processed, color-fading magic here.

By 2024, I couldn’t resist any longer—I quit my job as a Marketing & Brand Strategist and decided to follow my heart (and my camera) to share my love for photography with even more people and businesses. Plus, my years of managing socials for local businesses, contributes to an additional way I can put my creativity to work!

Whether it's a maternity shoot, a downtown block party, or a branding session, let’s work together to tell your story. Hey, maybe it’s a branded maternity shoot at a downtown block party? So, let’s make some memories, capture real moments, and have a little fun along the way. After all, life’s too short to not gravitate toward the stories that make us smile.
