The skies were slightly overcast as music billowed from the shiny airstream parked out front. As I came to say hello, I could see Katie and her bridesmaids dancing and singing inside, and I knew immediately it was going to be a fun day! And it was! From the minute I arrived to the last hug goodbye, this day was a DREAM!

With school starting up again, it feel like summer is coming to an end. But my heart is not quite ready to see this season go, and I’m hanging on to all the things that make me love this time of year – staying light longer, fresh nectarines, dinner on the BBQ, mowing the lawn, and…capturing sessions on warm summer nights!

I don’t even know how to begin about this amazing day! From my first time chatting with Justin and Valerie, I knew I wanted to work with them. They are two of THE kindest, most genuine people.

Holy cow, where has the time gone?!? I’ve had the privilege of photographing her three older brothers senior portraits, so it was extra special to get to […]

I first met Banji and Yinka back in 2020 when they were expecting their sweet girl, Eliana. Fast forward two years and a pandemic later, and Eliana is walking (just kidding, RUNNING!) and talking and laughing and absolutely DARLING!!! I met up with this sweet trio in downtown Spokane to document family portraits….and (!!!) Yinka […]

Where do I even begin with this beautiful wedding day?!? Nic and Rachel got married on his family’s cattle ranch in Merced, California with the most personal and thoughtful celebration. Not only was the setting beautiful, but the entire day was such a perfect representation of THEM as a couple. From the family’s brand on […]

They had a few classes together while attending Dordt University. But it wasn’t until a weekend trip through the Ag department that their paths crossed outside of class. Their group got snowed in, and they ended up staying up all night with their friends, talking and playing games, and floating the hotel’s indoor lazy river. […]
