It occurred to me this afternoon while planning a wedding consultation with a future bride that summer social media is saturated with WEDDING images and hardly anything is focused on the engaged couples anxiously awaiting their future wedding date. So… this one is for those of you engaged couples that would like some inspiration and […]
I met Lexi nearly a year ago at our local Starbucks. I always admire brides who contact me without meeting me and actually feel comfortable sitting down to have coffee together. I knew almost immediately that I was going to like her! I admire Lexi for so many reasons. She is such a genuinely graceful […]
This engagement session made my heartso happy. Cole Fuhrman and I have known each other for years. His family moved next door to us when he was about four years-old and I was their babysitter for many years. Memories of playing with him and his sister made me smile while I edited his ENGAGEMENT session! […]
Senior year in high school is such a milestone. To be able to hang out with all of these optimistic, joyful, and excited people makes my heart so happy. They fill my soul with so much hope and joy. They are on the cusp of life where one decision can can change their entire life’s […]

Who am I kidding…I was shooting a New Years Eve wedding in Missoula, Montana that night, but you know what I mean. With all the craziness, this year went so incredibly fast! […]
I love Thanksgiving and everything that surrounds this time of year. Gratitude. Thankfulness. Blessings. This time of year is good for the soul. I love that the weather turns cold and makes our hearts warm up. I always slow down this time of year and I am thankful for that in itself. I need it. […]
I waited two years to buy my plane ticket. Two. Years. I watched online hour after hour, week after week, and year after year. “No. Don’t even entertain the idea. You are swamped with your day job, you have two young kids who need you–there’s just no way you can make this dream a reality.” […]
I shifted my 4-Runner into 4-wheel drive as I turned onto Ali and Brent’s road. The snow was softly falling as my windshield wipers tried to keep up. Snow-covered pine trees and quiet homes with porch lights on lined the country road as I made my way to meet 4-day-old Sawyer. As I drove up […]
