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! […]
I had never met Kevin until the day of their engagement shoot. Abby was all smiles as she described him during her wedding consultation, and I was anxious to meet him for the first time. Everything she was telling me about him made me smile and my heart was full listening to her admiration of […]

It had been raining for days before this May wedding, and I was anxiously watching my weather app for days before Brittney and Zach’s wedding day. Rain in Helena, Montana is somewhat rare. […]
This was the first couple that booked me for a wedding without ever meeting me. Madi and Christian… I promise I am a normal person. I promise I know how to take pictures. And I promise that I know how nerve-wracking it was to make such a big decision from a different state without ever […]
