✨ Surprise Engagement at Honey Tree Farm ✨
Some moments feel like they come full circle… Saturday I had the absolute honor of capturing a surprise engagement session at the beautiful Honey Tree Farm for Ashley & Landon — a sweet couple whose love radiates in every frame. 💍🌿
Ashley Tofstad is my dear friend’s daughter, someone I’ve known since she was just a baby, and seeing her step into this new chapter with Landon was nothing short of magical. From laughter echoing through the fields to the quiet, tender moments between them, their story unfolded so authentically.
✨ “Like a tree with strong roots, our love grows taller each day, reaching for the sky yet grounded in forever.” ✨
It’s sessions like these that remind me why I cherish photography so deeply — preserving milestones not just for clients, but for families I’ve grown alongside. Congratulations Ashley & Landon on your forever beginning at the Honey Tree Farm! 🥂

🚀 Senior Spotlight Nick 2026 🚀
This young man showed up with confidence, long curls framing his face, and his truck parked proudly by his side. His style is all his own, and his easy going spirit made this session a joy to capture.
What stood out most was his determination. While many are still deciding what’s next, he’s already set on joining the workforce after graduation — ready to roll up his sleeves and build his future.
And of course, his mom brought her quirky charm and endless support, reminding us that behind every senior is a family cheering them on.
Here’s to hard work, open roads, and the next chapter that’s waiting just around the bend. Candace-April Batson-Jay

💫 Homecoming 2025: Before the Beat Drops… and Just Before the Raindrops! 💫

Before the music started and the dance floor lit up, we stole a little magic in Tacoma — right on the Spanish Steps, where elegance met excitement and every twirl felt like a movie moment.
The rain flirted with us all evening, but held off just long enough for laughter, corsage pinning, and these unforgettable portraits. The clouds waited patiently while these stunning seniors made memories in heels, suits, and sparkle.

Thank you to every family who trusted me to capture the before — the anticipation, the joy, and the quiet confidence of a night about to unfold.
