I have news...

After a lot of thought and heart-searching, I’ve decided to step back from my business for the time being. It’s bittersweet, but it feels right in this season of life. My husband is exploring a new chapter in special warfare with the Air Force, transitioning from the Army National Guard, and with that comes a lot of uncertainty about where we’ll be next year. As much as I’ve tried to plan and pin down timelines, military life makes it difficult to predict. We expect to be moving early next year, but everything is still up in the air.

This has been such a heavy decision for me. The stress of not knowing where I can market and the fear of letting brides down by not being able to make it to their big day has weighed on my heart. After much thought, I’ve realized the best thing I can do for myself, brides, and my peace of mind is to pause for now.

At first, this really hurt. I love what I do with my whole heart. But as I’ve sat with this decision, I’ve come to see it as a beautiful opportunity to slow down, step away from social media, and fully embrace these next few months in Colorado. I want to savor the adventures, the sunsets, the time with friends, and dive back into creative hobbies that once filled my days—painting, journaling, drawing, and maybe even discovering some new ones.

To my wonderful clients, don’t worry—I’ll still be here to serve you and deliver on all my commitments. I just won’t be taking on any new work at this time.

I’m excited to soak in this slower pace and live in the present. Other than those who follow my email list, I'll see y’all sometime next year! Until then, wishing you all the love and adventure. 🫶🏻

What inspires my approach to engagement sessions?

"We're so awkward in front of the camera!"

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that—pretty much every couple says it! Trust me, you’re not alone. We all feel a little weird in front of the lens.

But here’s the magic: by the end of our session, that awkwardness? P**f, it’s gone! My couples leave feeling relaxed, confident, and it totally shows in their photos.

So, what’s my secret?

I turn your engagement session into a date! Yep, you heard that right. Imagine laughing, exploring, and just soaking in each other’s love while I capture all those candid moments. You deserve to feel at ease and simply enjoy the love you share.

This isn’t some rushed department store photo shoot with awkward poses. It’s all about having fun, embracing your story, and letting your true personalities shine!

Once upon a time on Facebook, Kylie and Edwardo's playful wall posts led to a sweet connection that turned into a beautiful love story. Their first date at Red Robin was a charming start, where Edwardo couldn't help but smile at Kylie’s quirky choice of a side salad at a burger joint. 🍔🥗 That moment was just the beginning of a love that would blossom through brunches, hikes, and unforgettable CSU memories.

From late-night study sessions to concerts and cozy moments with friends, Kylie and Edwardo built a foundation of laughter and love. Edwardo shared his dream of marrying Kylie at a concert in 2019. Fast forward to today, and that dream is a reality!

Their elopement was nothing short of an epic Colorado adventure! We faced a whirlwind of weather—sunshine, fog, hail, and rain—all in a matter of hours. 🌦️ But Kylie and Edwardo took it all in stride, their smiles never wavering. They embraced the wild, ever-changing elements with grace and joy, making their day uniquely magical.

Their love is a beautiful blend of romance and adventure, from their pickleball matches to snowy slopes and lake days. Swipe through to see the sneak peeks of their breathtaking day and relive the magic with me! 🥂✨
