“So, I have an idea.”
When Rachael said this to me, I was immediately in. Then she told me her and her husband’s idea for a spooky shoot, and I ran with it.
I LOVE when people come to me with creative shoot ideas. And this one was just in time for spooky season. 🎃

Caleb and Emily’s wedding day was filled with family, laughter, and confetti—both for their first kiss and for the reception during their first dance.

From an intimate ceremony in the woods to a family-style reception, this day revolved around family and making special memories.

It’s always fun getting to see and document the love and laughter of people’s special day, and this day was full of both.

Doesn’t she look like a literal queen?!

Sarah is a friend I got to take maternity photos for and it was such a fun time to document the special time of life for her.

The green dress in the tall trees….👌🏻 perfect.

Hello, Sequoia Studios!
I felt it was time for a little rebrand. ☺️

The story behind Sequoia Studios:

I went to Sequoia National Park in 2018 with my father. There’s knowing how tall trees are and actually seeing how tall they are. I’ve seen the ocean, I’ve seen the mountains, the dessert, wide open fields, forests. But when I saw these trees...it was unlike anything I’d ever seen.
Actually getting out of the car and seeing them, touching them, it felt like something out of a Tolkien book.

The trip with my dad was something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Two years later, my dad passed away. That trip was three weeks of quality time with my dad doing the things we loved that I wouldn’t change for the world. I took a photo of him standing between the trees and it is one of my favorite photos, because it contains two of my favorite things. Getting to have that time with him, make those memories, and have photos to look back on—that’s everything.

There is something to learn from Sequoias.

Their thick bark make them incredibly fire proof. AND, did you know that fires actually help sequoias grow and thrive? Natural fires clear out all of the brush that takes up room and takes away needed space for the trees to grow. Along with that, the heat from the fire helps the tree’s cones to open and let seeds fall—allowing new growth.

So, fires help the trees grow and thrive.

Plus, these trees aren’t fast growing. Though they span 200+ feet tall, they grow roughly two feet a year. But I think it is because they grow so slow that they are able to live for so long. The slow growth allows them to adjust to the elements around them. The more they are exposed to, the longer they can grow and thrive.

These trees aren’t weak. They go through so much just to survive, to thrive. I want to be like that. To be able to stand strong through the fires, to let them take away the things that are actually hurting my growth. And even though growing at such a slow pace sounds painful, I would rather grow an inch at a time and be able to learn and adapt for years to come.

This is why I named my business Sequoia Studios.

A couple of sneak peeks from Sunday’s engagement sessions with Sarah and Casey.

When I met Sarah, she told me that she and Casey had met at MBP which is a rock climbing place and happens to be the SAME place where my husband and I reconnected! It was so fun having that similarity with them and yesterday’s session was just as fun.

Since it’s fall, I figured this session needed a little throwback. ☺️🌾🍁🍂

Anyone else excited for fall? Cook weather, beautiful colors, hot drinks and cozy night—fall is always good. Plus, you can get some pretty cute photos too. 😉

I met Celeste my first week of college. We lived on the same floor and she would often spontaneously walk into my room to chat and hang out. We became friends and after college we became roommates.

That’s where Matt comes in. We both dated during our time at that apartment (shout out to the tiny uptown apartment with so many janky things about it almost made it cute 😂). I found my husband, and she found hers.

I met the different guys she dated, but when I met Matt I had a feeling. He stood out from the rest—he liked LOTR!! That wasn’t the only thing that sold me on him, but it helped. He treated her the way she deserved to be treated and was overall a good guy.

So it was an easy yes to be able to take photos at their wedding. It always feels a little more special when it’s your friend’s day your documenting for them to cherish. ☺️

I always love a good golden hour. 🧡

My husband is out of town this week for work, so my hope is to get the rest of these photos off and delivered…wish me luck!
