I started photographing other people in 2014 and instantly fell in love with it. 

Being able to give people something as valuable as a snippet of their life, just as it is right now, to keep forever and ever, is a beautiful thing. 

I get to be there for the most important moments of my clients' lives. I get to show mothers how beautiful they are when they look at their children. I get to show fathers the comfort and security their kids have in their arms. I get to give couples the best day of their lives together to look at, feel, and remember every little bit of forever and ever. 

I am extremely passionate about what I do, and what I have the honor to give every person who works with me. 

and i fucking love my job.

Hi, I'm Cherish!

Chehalis and Olympia Family & Wedding Photographer

After a blood clot almost killed me at age 31, I dedicated my life to doing what I love, and being the best, kindest, and happiest me I can be. It was exactly the big fat slap in the face I needed to finally follow my dreams, and I am grateful for it every day.

Almost dying saved my life.

FOREVER INTO:

A few of my
FAVORITE things...

01

Long motorcycle rides on quiet country roads.

02

Roadtrips with my family
to places I've never been.

Cold, foggy mornings in the woods.

Let's make this last FOREVER...

i wanna be your forever photographer

I like to call myself a "forever photographer", because our relationship doesn't have to end at your wedding day.

For many of my clients, I shoot their weddings, anniversaries, pregnancies or adoptions, newborn sessions, and family sessions year-after-year.

I get to watch their families grow and help them keep every little bit of it along the way.
