Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I live off of hazelnut lattes, too many cups of tea, fantasy novels, and simple joys like slime and legos. Who doesn't love a little nostalgic childhood whimsy?? right?? But more importantly, I am a wife, a pet mom to an anxious cat who loves hugs, and paraplegic dog who loves everyone he meets, an older sister, an Interior Designer, and a photographer! I grew up here in Olympia Washington and while I have lived in various places around the PNW, I found my way back home where I live with my little fam. In 2021 I founded an interior design business (Studio Molina Interior Design) and needed to take a step back from photography for awhile to build the business. I have always needed creativity in my life and I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to support myself through my passions. Photography was my first love before I even knew you could be a designer outside of HGTV. I got my first camera in middle school and it was a magenta Canon Coolpix (anyone feeling nostalgic?) Since then I was hooked! I took classes through high school and college and even tried out some film photography. After a lot of trial and error I learned that photos are like music, really great images are created from emotion! I don't do posed photos with forced smiles. I would rather capture a raw moment that takes you back to what you were feeling. I get that it can be awkward to be photographed but please don't fret! My goal is for you to feel comfortable and for us to have a super fun time!
