✨QUICK TIPS for your upcoming photo session✨

🖤 Move often | Walk, sway, rock, lift, or spin. Movement keeps energy natural.

🖤Stay close | Physical closeness like hand-holding, cuddling, or leaning on each other makes photos feel intimate.

🖤Talk and play | Share stories, inside jokes, and laughter — your authentic reactions are always better than posed smiles.

🖤Embrace the unexpected | The little unplanned moments often become the most memorable photos!

🖤You never need to look at the camera unless I tell you to! Just focus on each other, and I'll do the rest. 😉

Remember, connection beats perfection every time!

There's a funny little thing that happens at every session:

At some point (or many points if I'm being honest😆) you'll hear me say 'okay, now look at each other', which will undoubtedly make you laugh- like real, silly, genuine belly laugh. Blame it on the awkward feelings no longer being contained as you look at your partner in crime. You can't help it, it's silly, someone is pointing a camera at you, you're going to laugh. 😂

My secret? I am only PARTIALLY after the photo of you looking at each other. The photo I ACTUALLY want is the photo that shows those real laughs. Those are the ones that hold the memories. 💕

If you've ever felt awkward in front of the camera, hoping for just one decent picture, I wrote a guide just for you!

Don’t skip the little things—they tell your love story best!

When I photograph your wedding details, I’m not just snapping pretty flat lays—I’m capturing the little pieces of your relationship that brought you to this moment. The ones that make your story yours. ✨ Your moments, your memories!

Wondering what to include in your detail photos? Here are a few sweet ideas:

❤️ Your rings + ring box 💍
❤️ Wedding invitation suite ✉️
❤️ Love notes or letters you’ve exchanged over the years
❤️ A meaningful gift from your partner 🎁
❤️ Your jewelry, perfume, or other accessories
❤️Your wedding shoes (yes, even if they’re comfy ones!) 👠
❤️Dried flowers or keepsakes you’ve saved from special moments
❤️ Family heirlooms or charms passed down
❤️ A favorite quote, scripture, or part of your vows

These little details might not seem like much, but they hold so many memories—and they make your gallery feel even more personal and timeless.

Planning your day? I’d love to help you think through all the meaningful pieces you want to remember forever. Let’s make something beautiful together!

The best kind of chaos? The kind wrapped in love, laughter, and dusty little boots. ✨

This sunset maternity session along the river was pure joy. The way these boys doted on their mama, the golden light, the wildflowers—every bit of it felt like summer in full bloom. 🌻

Moments like this remind me why photos matter so much—they hold onto the seasons that pass too quickly. ⏳

If your family is growing, changing, or just overdue for updated photos, I’d love to help you freeze time for a bit. Let’s make some magic together! ✨

Now booking summer & early fall sessions! ☀️
A few dates are still available for 2025 weddings too—reach out soon if you’re planning your day in the Gorge! 💍

I’m over the moon that I had the privilege of documenting this sweet and loving couple’s step into parenthood.

It’s wild how fast this spring has flown by! Between the busyness of the season and so many incredible sessions, I feel like I’ve barely had a chance to catch my breath. But I’m so excited to finally start sharing some of the beautiful moments I’ve had the honor of capturing! ✨

This sweet couple welcomed me into their home, and the love and intention behind every detail were undeniable. Handmade touches, cozy warmth—you could tell this space was built with heart. I told them I was officially joining their home decor fan club! 🏡💛

With wildflower season about to bloom in the Gorge, it’s the perfect time for maternity sessions in golden fields and mountain backdrops. If you’re expecting, let’s capture this fleeting season in a way that feels like you. 🌸 DM me to book your session!
