A little something different than my usual style but I’m loving it!!!! 😍 also how is this little girl already 9 months old?!? It doesn’t seem right or fair how fast time goes by!!!!!! Still drooling over this session nearly a year later!!!!!
So funny story- I made this the other day- went to post it and got distracted (story of my life!!)…. Well, I just noticed today is @homeswithkevink’s birthday, so what better day to post this than today!!!!
Happy birthday Kevin! Hope your day is amazing and filled with love!!!
Go wish him a happy birthday guys!
When the teaser just hits right!!!! Gosh, if I could relive this day I absolutely would over and over again!!!! These two were made for each other and I’m so thankful I was able to witness such a love. Even more thankful to have left making new forever friends with these two!!!!
Nothing better than to kickstart our Friday morning with a video of these two love birds elopement up in Big Bear!!!
It’s truly special to witness someone you’ve known for nearly 25 years (we were babies!!!) discover and find the person who makes their heart feel whole. Watch them grow, evolve, and now find a partner who completes them. It’s a beautiful reminder of how life unfolds, with all its unexpected joys, twists and turns, and profound connections. Their journey is like watching a story come full circle, filled with moments that make you appreciate the beauty of love and friendship even more.
Life truly has a way of surprising us, that love can find us when we least expect it, and that the journey is just as important as the destination. A gentle reminder that love will find us on its own time, and when it does, it’s always worth the wait 💗
This just gives me all the feels all over again 😭😭 Amber and Mason, you two are truly made for one another. This entire day was filled with so much love, laughter, and a lot of happy tears. I loved every moment of your special day and all the details and planning that lead up this very moment! I can’t believe it’s almost been 2 months now!!!! Where does time go?!?!
Loving this quick little reel to show the process from start to finish and the vision that goes behind everything that we do. It’s not just as simple as “pushing a button”. Photography is an art form that goes beyond just capturing an image. It involves composition, lighting, perspective, storytelling, and sometimes even post-processing to convey emotions, tell stories, or evoke certain feelings. It’s about capturing moments and creating something meaningful out of them. I love that this little reel gives a quick glimpse into what our little minds are going through as we take your photos and even more so the detail we put into our final product!!!! Love you all for trusting my wild visions!!! Also- I should really post more black and white images! Why do I rarely ever share any?!?!
Happiest of anniversary’s to these two!!! I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Where does the time go!!!! If I could relive this day over and over I absolutely would!!
And now these two are just a couple months away from meeting their baby girl!!!!
Cheers to one year down and a lifetime to go!!!!
Let’s talk elopements!
This year is one of the busiest years for me in terms of elopements! I’ll be traveling all over this year for my couples. I feel the industry is shifting yet again. People are prioritizing themselves even more this year And focusing on smaller more intimate weddings! I’m here for it. I’m always down to travel!!!
Eloping in the city can be incredibly fun and exciting! Imagine the thrill of escaping the traditional wedding planning stress and opting for an intimate ceremony surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city. From exchanging vows at the court house, in a charming urban park to saying “I do”, or even in a chic rooftop venue overlooking the skyline. The possibilities are endless. Plus, you can explore the city together without any time crunch like traditional wedding days (nothing wrong with traditional - it just isn’t always for everyone). You get to discover hidden gems and creating unforgettable memories as you celebrate your love in your own unique way. Whether it’s stealing kisses on the busy city streets or sharing a romantic dinner at a trendy restaurant, eloping in the city offers a one-of-a-kind experience that’s both adventurous and unforgettable.
If you are planning your elopement this year I’d love to hear where you are going and what you are doing as well as planning to keep it still unique to you!!!

💗The photographer vs the model💗
Although pregnancy was incredibly hard on my body, this time around, I still wanted to celebrate what my body was able to do. The journey to get to this point was one of the hardest ones I’ve endured. I was sick nearly all 38 weeks until the day sweet Hazel was born. I retained so much extra fluid this time around that by day 10 postpartum I had already lost 30 pounds. I felt exhausted, ugly, scared of every move I made, I had irrational fears, and my anxiety was through the roof (more on that for another post). My pregnancy with Maverick was so easy. Easy enough I joke I could run a mile- although I don’t run unless there is a fire lol. I’m not use to not operating at 100% but I still pushed through each day counting down my days knowing it would be here before we knew it. It was bitter sweet knowing this would be my last pregnancy, my last time feeling little kicks and flutters, and the last time my body would perform such a miracle as that of creating life.
Over half my life I was told I wouldn’t be able to have kids, after a traumatic accident to my abdomen in 4th grade. Maverick was my first miracle, and then came Hazel. All the aches and pains, the stretch marks, the anxiety and sleepless nights have all been worth it. I knew I wanted to document this last and final pregnancy in the best way that I knew how- through photos. I thank all the talented photographers that helped bring my vision to life. It’s more than I could have ever asked for. And to my clients who trusted I would still deliver the same quality work - I thank you. When you own your own business there are so many fears that come with pregnancy and maternity leave. And I thank each of you for trusting me - past present and future clients
💗💗 cheers to 2024 and all the blessings this year has in store for us. And thank you for letting me share these special moments with you all! I’ll be posting them for awhile lol
I like to think I have the best clients ever! Which I honestly do!
I, without a doubt, make you a promise that you WILL have the best reception hands down, with me there! I might be known for dancing along with you and encouraging rowdy (but safe) behavior amongst your bridal party! So if your reception and dancing are your most important parts of the night- count me in!!!! I’m your girl!!!!
Tell me what the most important part of your wedding was!
Calling all soon-to-be-wed lovebirds! 🕊️✨
We know weddings can be a roller coaster of emotions but we like to think that every ride has its up’s and downs and let’s celebrate the joyous moments today!!
Let’s sprinkle some fun into the wedding planning madness! 🎉💖 What’s the one planning moment that made your heart do a happy dance? One bit of advice for future brides/grooms planning their big day? Spill the details, and let’s celebrate love together! 💍🥂 #WeddingJoy #ShareTheLove
Who says engagement shoots have to be boring?!?
Engagement shoots are your chance to unleash your inner adventurers! Picture this: you and your partner, wrapped up in laughter, stealing sweet glances, and maybe even dancing a little – all while I stand behind the scenes capturing it all. It’s not just about photos; it’s about creating a personal story that screams “us.” Let loose, be goofy, and let your unique love story shine through every shot. After all, this is the prelude to the epic tale you’re about to embark on together! 📸✨
