Reminding myself I need to be better at posting on Instagram and using the opportunity to share about this fun wedding I did a few months ago!!! 😍 I absolutely adore and and being a part of their wedding day was a JOY! They ended with the habit burger truck and I am so pro it! They even include fries! Yum! But this day was just so fun and wanted to include some inside and night photos we took for a different look than my usual outdoor photos 🥰

The mountains are calling and I must go! I am so excited to go to Colorado on Monday to celebrate ’s bday! And even though this isn’t Colorado, this Mammoth wedding was what mountain dreams are made of!! 🥰🥰🥰

If you have any recommendations for hikes in Aspen, Vail, Boulder, or the Rockies let me know! We will be out there for 11 days! 👏🏻

These two are married now and what a beautiful and amazing day it was!!! We were at one of my favorite venues where not only are the staff great but the food is AMAZING! And the day was perfect from all the little details and Joey added in to the crazy fun dance party that went right up to the end!!! We were able to get some great photos from their day and I just loved being able to capture it all! 🤩🤩

Should you still do engagement photos even if your wedding is only a month away??

Heck yes!! I have had a few couples including this one do that recently and I am all for it.

Why? Because:
1) You will never regret having photos that document your engagement season. It is a special time in your life and it is a great time for you two to be yourselves and in clothes you would wear normally! It is remembering your relationship as a whole not just your wedding day ❤️
2) Taking photos with your photographer will help your wedding day go even more smoothly!! Most all of us are nervous in front of the camera, and having the opportunity to see how your photographer will work with you outside of the chaos of the wedding day helps you feel ready when it is time to take photos on your big day!
3) Expanding upon #1: You can make the photos just about you and your relationship! On the wedding day it is about you two yes, but also about the family and friends and events of the day. Your engagement session is a time to just let you two and your love and relationship shine!

Loved this engagement session and can’t wait for their wedding day at in a few weeks!! 😍👏🏻

Tomorrow I head back to one of my favorite little islands off the coast of Ventura! It also is a National Park which makes it even better!! I did this engagement session there about 2.5 years ago and now get to head back for another all day engagement session fun! 🤩 This one was amazing because these two got engaged on the island while on a hike which I was able to document then Lucas and I brainstormed about him sneaking some nice outfits for the two of them into his bag so they could change and we would do engagement photos! It worked like a charm and we had so much fun running around and taking photos! Can’t wait to go back tomorrow and create new memories with my couple!!!

3 years ❤️ Time has flown and it’s hard to believe that as of yesterday we are celebrating 3 years dating! We have gone through many of life’s ups and downs together and it has brought us closer and helped us grow in so many ways. I am grateful for our journey and what God has done in it, and I am looking forward to seeing what this next year brings!

Thank you for being my partner and best friend ❤️ Life is richer with you by my side cheering and challenging me on! God has used you in so many ways to bless and change my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to know and love you ❤️

Happy anniversary ! Glad we got to spend the day celebrating at Universal Studios yesterday! Thank you for your help with that! 😍

🎶 Baby you’re a firework 🎶

It is not every day that you get to have fireworks at the end of your wedding but when you choose a wedding venue right next to Disneyland you get to have your night end with a bang 🎆! And these two brought the fun and brightness through their entire day!!! I loved being a part of their special day and documenting it all the way through!

Bringing my camera while I travel allows me to create for just the sake of creating. I love when people look at a scene and say a photo just can’t do it justice, and I instead look to create the photo that can 🥰 Waited on the trail for the sun to peak beneath the clouds and show off that stunning Yosemite Valley! This is now my new phone screensaver and it makes me happy whenever I look at it!

02/26/2024

Firefalls! In Yosemite in February you have the chance to witness this beautiful waterfall being lit up by the perfect angle of the sun hitting it at sunset! It makes it look like it is glowing fire 🔥 and I traveled there in hopes of catching it and were blessed that we had a beautifully clear sunset time during our first day there! It was beautiful to witness and see God’s creation showing off!!! Plus Yosemite in the winter time is just beautiful 😍😍 More photos of that to come!

02/22/2024

Off the grid for the next few days! Hoping to see Firefalls at Yosemite! About an hour outside the valley right now heading in! It’s mostly clear skies so praying it stays for a clear sunset and the water level is at the right spot for us to see it!! Will update once I’m back :)

Also wish us luck! Car camping when it’s 20 degrees out 🥶 haha. Going to be putting on ALL the layers!!!

Model call 📸📸

If anyone is going to be in Yosemite next week for Firefalls I am going to be there the 22nd-24th! I would love to take some couple portraits in the snow ❄️

Let me know if you are up for a snowy Yosemite adventure 😍😍😍

It’s Valentine’s Day so you know what that means??? More proposals!!! 😍😍😍 I love hearing the stories of everyone’s proposal! And I love documenting them even more!

This one was a super sweet rooftop proposal where he flew out from Texas to surprise her!! It was so beautiful!!! I love capturing the many reactions in a proposal, it just makes my heart happy!!

Do you have a good proposal story?? I would love to hear it in the comments below :) 👇

Direction. My time in Oahu and since being home I have been pondering the direction of my life. What am I aiming for, what are my goals, what am I living my life for, and what difference am I making for eternity?

It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day that I can miss the purpose of each precious day. But I want to live this life well. I want to live with intention and purpose. One of the hardest things about losing my mom over 2 years ago was that I felt directionless. She was my guiding light and my cheerleader, and things seemed empty and hollow without her. This year, I have felt God wanting me to step forward into a more intentional direction. To live with my eyes on eternity and use Him as my guiding light. To love and serve others and to not be afraid to share more about my faith and the relationship I have with Jesus 🙏🏻 My mom was the amazing person she was because of her relationship with Jesus. And I also am changed forever because of Him 🙏🏻. I want Him to be in all and through all including in my business. In the end, what really matters is what I am building to last for eternity. So I want to love freely, give generously, and serve from a cheerful heart. I want to use my business as a way to love and serve others and work for the Lord 🙏🏻. And I want to be grateful for all He has given me and the opportunities He has allowed me. In this new year, I want it to be one of intention and I want to live my life knowing that every day is a gift and I want to use it well 🙏🏻

I am so glad this destination session was able to happen!!! When I was leaving for my trip I found out that a couple from my church was going to be in Oahu at the same time! We were able to meet up and do these photos and it was a dream 😍😍 Lauren has been coming to Oahu with her family since she was a toddler and now she and her husband Christian were able to bring their little girl for the first time! And I was able to photograph her baby’s first time not only being in Hawaii but being at the beach! 🤩 I really wanted to find a place that had both the beach and the mountains and I am so glad we landed on this spot after some research! It was the perfect location to capture what makes Oahu unique and beautiful! I definitely wouldn’t mind coming back for more sessions out here on this beautiful island!!

Merry Christmas to all!!! Nick and I will try to take some dressed up photos when we travel and so here are the ones we took from Sedona earlier this month! Grateful to spend the holiday time with family and friends that we love and to celebrate Jesus as the reason for the season 🙏🏻❤️ Love to all and hope that your Christmas time is a good one ❤️

When the sunset is just perfect after that proposal moment 😍😍😍 I have talked about potentially moving to Colorado one day in the future and I think one of the things I would miss most work wise is my beach sessions! I mean it’s just so fun to capture that golden light down until the last moment and have the changing tides each time! I just love my beach shoots! I also would miss dearly miss bomb Mexican food and avocados 😂😂 But thankfully I am still here and can enjoy my beach, some amazing tacos, and all the avocados and guacamole to my hearts content 😉

Dance until the sun goes down and the moon lights up your way 💃🏻

This is a time of thanksgiving and appreciation. And though we should live our lives that way all of the time, it is a good reminder during this time of year to check in with how we are doing on that front!

This family reminded me of the blessing of loving on others and being family. With 4 adult daughters, two son-in-laws, and a new grand baby these two marvelous parents extended their family by adopting a sister and brother duo on the same day ❤️ after a few years of walking the path of fostering and raising these beautiful kids, they finally got to officially call them their own! I loved being able to document the start of the day they all officially became family!! It was a blessing and I am so excited to see how these beautiful children have a wonderful family welcoming them with open arms ❤️❤️

In one week I am celebrating my birthday! I am leaving tomorrow for Sacramento as is running a full Ironman this Sunday and going to cheer him on! Then off to Tahoe after to celebrate my bday 🥰 Definitely one of the main highlights of 33 was going to Australia and hitting my last continent!!! So here are a few photos from there because I miss this place like crazy ❤️❤️

33 has been a growing year, one with trials and joys, and through it all trying to draw closer to God. It wasn’t the easiest year but I’m grateful for what I’ve been learning along the way. 34 hits in one week and we will see what that year holds in store ❤️

Thank you everyone for your support last week for my mom’s two year anniversary of her passing 🙏🏻 it meant so much to me with how many reached out through social media or text ❤️ My family and I got together to celebrate her, and my mom loved all of us being together. It was a blessing and a good way to celebrate her ❤️

As we have entered October, my hope is to be able to end the year strong. It has been a harder year with not only doing year 2 without my mom, but lots of people I am close to are also going through very big and hard things in their life. So it has been a year with a lot of trials and hardships and blessings mixed together. Through it all, God has been faithfully beside me and growing me. He is working in me and I am grateful that He never gives up nor does He ever waste any of the things we go through. Today I was finishing off the book of Habakkuk and came across this part:
“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet, And makes me walk on my high places.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:16-19‬ ‭‬‬

No matter what my life is looking like, no matter how hard or destitute, God is my strength. He doesn’t always change the circumstances around me, but He transforms me to be able to walk up the towering and slippery cliffs in front of me. He gives me new feet to climb, and makes a way for me to reach the high places again. I will climb out of the valleys of life because God is with me 🙏🏻❤️ So thank you, Lord, for your transforming power within me and for giving me the strength and opportunity to grow through what I go through ❤️❤️

It’s been 2 years since I last got to talk to my mom, hear her laugh, see her smile, or feel her hug. September hit hard this year as I relived all the lasts one more time. It never seems to be enough time with those that you love, and it definitely wasn’t with my mom as she was the most incredible person I have ever known ❤️

I felt God moving on my heart and reminding me of His plan for my mom. While some people may view her life as cut short, I know in my heart she lived a full life. She completed her mission here on earth, and I have no doubt that she was welcomed into the Kingdom of God with a “Well done good and faithful servant.”

My mom lived her life for Jesus, she was a beautiful light and witness to those around her and an incredible prayer warrior. Even with 5 kids, homeschooling, and being in charge of several events for church and our school groups, she would faithfully wake up early every morning to read her Bible and pray down her prayer list. Jesus was a part of her daily conversation and she shared it with all those around her.

My mom always viewed her life through the light of God’s blessing. I am studying the beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12 and the word “Blessed” used in that passage in the Greek means “Those receiving God’s favor, regardless of what their circumstance may be.” And that sums up my mom perfectly. It didn’t matter what her circumstances may be, she lived with the joy and love that can only come from living a life for God. Right up to the end, she was praying and faithfully seeking God and seeing His goodness through her struggle.

Though I miss her everyday and still wish she was here, I know God called her home to heaven with Him because that is what she was truly made for. He loved her and called her to be with Him for eternity, her work was done, and her labor was fruitful. She was made for an eternity with no more tears, no more sadness, no more sickness, no more pain. She was made to glorify her Creator and she was a beautiful example of living a life fully for God.

My prayer is that I too can follow in Jesus’ footsteps and the example my mom set of living my life for God and His kingdom ❤️

Love you always, Mom ❤️❤️
