romantic summer desert engagement session

,

Smith Rock has always been one of my favorite places. Especially if you catch it at sunset, it is no surprise it’s one of Oregon’s Seven Wonders…it is truly breathtaking.

I always encourage my couples to do their engagement session somewhere that is meaningful to them. I want your photos to be a perfect representation of who you are as a couple - not just the interactions, personality and love I’m able to capture, but your environment as well.

Erin + Kyle are avid rock climbers and Smith is one of their favorite places to climb - so it was a no brainer to do their engagement session here. We had to reschedule when Oregon had those terrible wildfires, but the day we got more than made up for it!! We seriously had the most perfect sunset…just scroll down to see what I mean!

These two are straight fire together + I am so excited to be able to capture their wedding next summer!

playful romantic oregon summer hillside couple engagement session

,

Aspen + Max have known each other since they were in middle school. They met in band class + I guess you could say the rest is history. Seven years later, here we are, planning for their wedding in the spring.

These two are so dang cute together - no matter what playful, goofy thing I asked them to do, they were all in - and Aspen even had to get in on the piggy backing Max (scroll down to check that out!). They light each other up and I can tell they’re genuinely best friends. We talked about the adventures they’ve been on so far + ones they have coming up. There is such a comfortability and ease with these two.

We hiked up Chip Ross where we ran and laughed so hard until the sun started setting - then created some serious magic with the sunset, tall grass + view of Corvallis.

Aspen’s ring was handpicked by Max and is so unique - I love that they have these little touches that make everything so personalized to who they are as a couple.

Their wedding is in May at a vineyard, and it is going to be so beautiful. I’ve loved hearing about all the plans + cannot wait to see it all come together + capture their amazing day - and the little suprises they have planned!!

playful springtime wildflower couple session

, ,

springtime flower fields is definitely one of my favorites - it’s colorful, romantic + just a little magical come sunset! spring here in Oregon is something special. we definitely have to wait for it through all the clouds + the rain, but my goodness - for sessions like this, I’ll take every last day of it!

I’ve been lucky enough to be telling pieces of these two’s love story for the last couple years. they are super playful, so sweet + you can tell are completely each other’s best friend. they’ve been together forever + we always end up laughing til we cry, every time. seriously such a blast!! plus they are absolutely the cutest together, right?!

these life-long couples are what I love so much - getting to truly know my clients, document + tell their story again + again is the greatest privilege. these are the moments they’ll have to look back on - the “way back whens”..these are the photos that remind us of what we are fighting for, every day.

the joy. the fun. the laughter.

the love.

this is the story I get to tell.

romantic texas couple session

Is it just me, or do these two look like they should be gracing the next cover of a Nicholas Sparks novel?!

Rebecca and Riley are two of the sweetest, most down to earth and kind people you will ever meet. I absolutely love when clients fully trust you, your vision and are willing to just be present with each other - those times when they are caught up in the moment with one another are some of my all time favorite shots. Afterall, life isn’t about the posed, perfect photo - it’s the in between moments, it’s the ones that catch you being the most YOU…the way you look at one another, how she holds his hand, how he brushes her hair out of her face - these are the little details that make up moments you want to remember forever.

and I’m there for it all
