I’m certain I started tearing up watching Ella and Will together at this session— these two are some of the most confident, outwardly joyful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of being around…just such good energy to be around and you could feel it✨ Their love for each other was tangible during our session.🤎🤎🤎⁣
⁣
I’m so honored to get to witness the exchange of feelings and affection between so many people who love each other so much. It honestly doesn’t get old. 🤎⁣

⁣Tyler has been assigned to do his clinical rotations in Idaho Falls, so we’re finishing packing everything up and then moving to Idaho Falls this weekend for the next 2 years!!!!! Also he passed his boards last month and also I love him! ❤️❤️❤️⁣
⁣
I was extremely nervous + sad about coming to Idaho when we chose to move here for Tyler’s school 2 years ago, but then I completely fell in love with Boise and it has been my favorite place to live—just ask the handfuls of people that I’ve cornered + talked the ears off of about it!💘 xo ⁣
⁣
I love all the friends + memories we’ve made, food we’ve ate, places we’ve gone to, and things we’ve learned here! I hope we’re coming back! I also hope the housing market here goes to hell so we can buy a house someday :)😘✨ ⁣
⁣
IF is about to get a bit more rowdy🤠🤠🤠⁣

(Logistics: I still do weddings and sessions all over Idaho (and out of state for that matter🤍). I will be back in Boise regularly for weddings (and sessions) so if you want to do a session together in the Boise area, we can shoot during one of my trips back over! I’ll make a highlight with the dates I’m coming back for reference soon. Or just come on over to Idaho Falls (or the nearby Tetons🤠) and we can shoot there!✨)⁣

Today on our drive up to Stanley, I was thinking the best people make you feel like an octopus(😝)—there’s that saying that you don’t have enough hands to do what you’re doing or balance what you’re balancing, so you wish you had 8 hands like an octopus. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I was thinking about the people I love and the connection we have, and it came to me that that’s my favorite type of connection with/way to love a person—the connection where at the end of the day we have each other’s backs no matter what. And where you really mean no matter what. The friends and family who are there for you come hell or high water. When you’re with them you can let your guard down, finally breath easy, and know that if you need help or support, they got you and you got them. Those people make you feel like you don’t have to handle what life throws at you all on your own. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This year on my birthday (my annual reflection apparently😝), I’m thinking about all the people that make it possible for me to do the things in life that I love...my photo business, take trips, have hobbies, take on a big personal project, anything I dream up to do—just live life everyday...they support me in doing all these things I love and let me do them without feeling like it’s all on my shoulders alone—who make me feel like I have 6 more hands to help me when I need them. Plus a shoulder to cry on when I need that too. I feel so much love for you all who love me and take care of me. I hope I love and take care of you too. 🤍🤍🤍 #24 🎈⁣

Happy Memorial Day!🇺🇸 Ty and I didn’t do anything extremely eventful today (mostly just working + studying)...and I’m grateful to all the women and men who have made the ultimate sacrifice for me and all my loved ones and all of us in America to have “uneventful” days and eventful ones and ones where we are free! I’m grateful to live in this beautiful country. I hope you enjoyed today with gratitude.❤️❤️❤️

When my mom would stay up late cleaning or cooking in the kitchen, I used to bring my blankie down from my room to the kitchen and lay by the heater under the freezer so I could just stay with her longer. In elementary school, she was at the school doing PTA or doing something for the teachers almost everyday, and I would ask to go to the bathroom so I could sneak off and search the halls for her (eventually got my bathroom privileges revoked). In church, I’d leave my⁣
youth classes to find my mom in her class to lay my head on her lap. Been a mom’s girl for as long as I can remember. ❤️❤️❤️⁣
⁣
I love going to the beach together (her favorite place), hearing stories about her life before I was born, shopping together, watching movies (mostly lifetime when I’m with her), spending any holiday with her (she likes to go all out), seeing her get extremely excited (scream-gasping) when she opens literally any gift, talking about everything and anything with her, and just being near her.⁣
⁣
Happy Mother’s Day!!!💖🧡🌈🌻🥰😍🎉💛💕👭🏼💥😄 (the emojis from the last text she sent me)

Last year’s fairytale wedding in Tetonia ✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Jordan + Eric decided to do an intimate wedding at their family cabin up in the most beautiful mountains last fall. The ceremony was on a big hill overlooking the other mountains/hills filled with pines and Jordan and her flower girls did in fact come down the forest aisle like some woodland fairies.😍😝✨ They did a gift/note exchange just before the ceremony around the corner from one another, had breakfast for dinner + s’more roasting, Jordan designed their invitations + vow books + most of their decorations (she’s a badass graphic designer), received sweet/embarrassing toasts from their families😂, had lots of dancing, snuck away for a quiet moment to share a drink alone together (plus me😝), and the sweetest night with their closest loved ones. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was the perfect day filled with so much love.🤍🤍🤍⁣

There’s just something about being up in the Sawtooths with no one else around.✨ It really feels like the world just stops for a little while you’re out there. The most peaceful and beautiful spot...it’s the place that made me finally fall in love with Idaho. 🌾 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I cannot wait for the weddings I’m shooting there this summer!!! I have spots open June 14-18 if any of you want to make the day trip to up to Stanley create something beautiful and authentic together! We can make a whole day of your session—we’ll have so much fun while I show you around my favorite spots there!🌞🌿⁣⁣

My last month has been heavy and hard ..and also inspiring and filled with faith. I feel like I’m going through a period of growth and a new phase of self-discovery. It’s hard and sometimes it feels really dark ...and too heavy for me. But I know I will get to the other side—my head doesn’t always know it, but my soul does. And she’s done this longer than my head can remember or comprehend, so I try to lean into trusting her (my soul). ⁣
⁣
I will try to dive into what I am supposed to learn and try to stretch so that I can grow. And I’ll of course let you know what it is when I figure it out. 🌸⁣
⁣
For now I’ll share this, I know that not enough people spread the message to trust in yourself. They tell you to listen and look to all sorts of authority figures. And while there are times to look to those people, it is far more imperative for you to learn to listen for and to your own intuition. Your intuition is lead by God because that is who created you. Lean into it. You are good and whole and capable to face the challenges you face. Our Heavenly Parents (I believe God is made up of Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother who are together in all things) will speak to you directly. They gave you your brain, your perspective, and your experiences for a reason. Trust your own personal relationship with Them and Christ above all else. ⁣
⁣
You are your only vessel in this life. The only one God granted you to have and be. If you can’t learn to trust it, you aren’t living your own life, but instead one someone else has told you to live. You are good. You are whole. You are capable. You are worthy of everything good.🤍🤍🤍🤍⁣

All of my couples who shoot in the snow are my personal heroes...Diana + Joey even ended their session with a snowball fight...could never be me🤷🏼‍♀️🥶. Here’s to hoping that was my last snow shoot of the season, but with Idaho, you never know.🥲 Although the mountains do just hit different all dressed up in snow.✨ ⁣
⁣
Can’t wait to see you two on Saturday when you say “I do”!!!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍

This duo felt fitting for Internet Women’s Day 🤍🤍⁣
⁣
Jayde + Penny 🤍 — Jayde was one of the first good friends I made since moving here to Boise.⁣
⁣
One time when I was having a really hard time, I texted Jayde. She made me feel seen + heard + loved at a time when I really needed it. Some of what I told her was how hard it was to not be living near any of my siblings for the first time, and not being able to go to them when I’m struggling. She told me something along the lines that she may not always have the advice that I need, but that she loves me and will be my family here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⁣
⁣
These are the women we all are!!! We love each other and strengthen each other. I truly believe that we need each other. I’m so grateful for the women in my life who help me, love me, spend time with me, cry with me, celebrate with me, encourage me, see + hear me, + believe in me. They have taught me how to be much of who I am + aspire to be. I love them. 🤍
