This is to all the dads who give really good hugs: Happy Father’s Day 🫰🏼

Hot take: morning weddings are seriously underrated! You can do so many cool things like having a coffee hour instead of a cocktail hour like what Alyssa and Sean did for their Portland wedding last year with .

One of my favs from this shoot. It was my first time working with prisms too, was it not PERFECT for this kaleidoscope concept?

I had SO much fun creating and collaborating with these women. Being creative can be so therapeutic, it tastes even sweeter when you get to work with genuine and amazing people too. NAILED IT 💁🏻‍♀️

There’s a lot of pressure to picking a photo to post after not posting for a while, but thankfully this series is a no brainer. BANG BANG 💥💥

Happy 2/22/22! You gotta admit, that’s an epic wedding anniversary date. Today it’s off to the Oregon Coast for an elopement for these two and I’m absolutely shore it’s going to be fintastic.

I love that even though I shoot a lot of weddings, I still love going to them as a guest. Who else likes to sit next to the aisle so you can seem all the action? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Guess who’s baaaaaaaack! As someone who severely underestimated how crazy and crazy busy this year would be, PLEASE take the time to recharge your batteries (fellow wedding vendors will relate amirite?). Don’t be like me and go full throttle for so long that your body crashes hard and you can’t physically do anything anymore. Take that day off! Take that nap! Take that walk in the fresh air! This is your sign to TREAT YO SELF.

Don’t be afraid to incorporate your interests or hobbies into your session because it’s all about making photos that are special to you. For Nichole and Duncan, they wanted to take some of their engagement photos with Duncan’s car and wear their signature matching striped shirts. What’s special to you?

Fun fact about me, I was obsessed with horses when I was little. I loved drawing them and watching movies about them even though they were always so sad (Ex: Black Beauty or the Black Stallion). So when I tell you that this shoot was a dream come true I mean it. If you ever have dream shoot too, let me know because I’ll always be down.

Crazy news: after a lot of thinking I’ve decided to raise my prices. Anyone who knows me can understand HOW BIG OF A DEAL THIS IS. Even crazier news: I won’t raise them until exactly one month from now on October 17. That means I’ll honor my old pricing from now until then! If you need a wedding, portraits, your business photographed, let me know.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get to this point. Whether it was to offer advice, let me practice on you, or lending kind words, I am grateful for all of it. Here we go people, I’m rollin’ with the big boys now.

Last week’s couple shoot was a walk in the park. Ayyyyye see what I did there?
