What does an adventure elopement actually look like?

Well… it can be a hike up a mountain. Something you have to really breathe for, climb for, and earn—until you’re standing there with an epic view stretching out in front of you.

It could be a road trip to a place that makes the drive completely worth it.

Or… you could book an adventure elopement with an adventure photographer 👀

And then you’re asking for something a little more wild.

Like climbing into a machine that’ll trek 40 miles into the Alaska backcountry—where most of the living things around you are furry.

Applying your makeup on the back of an ATV.

Getting dressed in a tent.

And trusting your photographer to take you somewhere most people will never experience.

Because that’s the beauty of an adventure elopement with the right photographer.

You don’t have to know where to go. You just have to know what you want it to feel like.

I’m there to help dream up the adventure, find the wild places, build the experience around you, and document every messy, beautiful, ridiculous, emotional second of it.

And then… THEN… magic happens.

Because even 40 miles into the backcountry, you still get all the moments that make it an elopement.

A first look.

A sweet, private ceremony.

An epic first kiss as Mr. & Mrs.

Cupcakes. Fire. Laughter. Romance.

All the beautiful, intentional pieces of your wedding day…

just surrounded by something a little more wild.

A little more raw.

A little more untamed.

So if you’re looking for a photographer who won’t just show up and take pictures, but will help you create an elopement that feels like you—wild, intentional, unforgettable, and completely outside the ordinary…

Let’s go find your wild. ☺️

You’re the kind of trouble I’d choose every time—the kind I’d chase down back roads with, wh***ey on our lips and nowhere else we need to be. A little wild, a little reckless, and somehow the safest place I’ve ever known. You feel like midnight, like stolen kisses and slow dancing in the dark, like the kind of love that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. If forever means getting lost with you somewhere between tonight and always, then come a little closer. I don’t plan on behaving.

Adventure sessions are just where my heart is❤️ Couples saying yes to every dare I throw at them. I’m also pretty stoked about future adventurous hearts that book me here in Alaska willing to do the daring 😀

There are times when I wonder if photography is something I’ll do for the rest of my life.

I go through waves of emotions with this career. Some seasons I feel completely sure, and others I wonder if this is really where I’m meant to stay.

To be honest…I’m not really great at a lot of things. 😂 But capturing people? Guiding people? Making them laugh? Top tier.

My favorite thing in the world is making people smile. I may not be a comedian, but somehow I’ve found a way to do it through photography.

And then, every year, the same names start popping up in my Instagram feed. Another family session. Another inquiry. Another like on a post. Another person watching my stories.

Instagram might call them “fans,” but to me, they’re the 20–40 people who have stayed with me for years.

I’ve watched your babies go from tiny and barely mobile to peace signs, giggles, and personalities of their own.

I’ve watched your marriages grow. I’ve photographed weddings that turned into bellies, and bellies that turned into families.

And sometimes I think…in 20 years, maybe those babies will be grown and getting married, and I’ll be there to photograph that too. Maybe I’ll get to watch their families grow.

That’s when I realize this “career” holds something so incredibly precious.

I get to capture a stillness in time—a little freeze-frame of what life looked like in that exact moment. And then, somehow, I get to see just how much everything changes from one year to the next when you book me again and again.

Maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it.

Because photography isn’t just about taking pictures. For me…it’s documenting. It’s storytelling.

And there’s something pretty incredible about being trusted to capture the experience.

I always knew the title of “Mom” would one day mean something different to me than it did growing up.

Growing up, Mom meant heartbreak. Abandonment. Feeling invisible and lost. It didn’t mean sacrifice or safety or the kind of love that stays.

As I got older, I knew I wanted to become the mom I never had.

And now, I’m beginning to understand just how much that title holds.

I see the moms who stayed. The ones who gave up pieces of themselves without anyone noticing. The ones who clean one room and organize one shelf while making dinner. The ones who carry scar tissue from births that changed them. The ones who hold their children through heartbreak and celebrate their firsts, even when their own hearts are breaking a little too.

The moms who cry at college send-offs, slipping a gift card to their child’s favorite sandwich shop into their hand because somehow they still know exactly what will make them feel at home.

And when I look at my daughter, I see so many versions of myself.

I see the eight-year-old girl who just wanted her mom.

The nineteen-year-old who needed her mom’s hug.

The woman on her wedding day who wanted her mother in the room—the one who had been there through first heartbreaks, first kisses, and every little moment that somehow became a lifetime.

And I think that’s why this title means so much more to me now.

You don’t have to give birth to a child to be a mother. Some women step into that role through love, through choice, through showing up, through staying.

There are so many women who play all the roles.

So here’s to the title: Mom.

To the women who stayed.
To the women who sacrificed.
To the women who showed up.
To the women who became mothers in every way that mattered.

Because being “Mom” is worth so much more than anything the world could ever reward.

At the edge of the world, we’re just playing in the flowers and picking berries. Basking in the childhood our children let us live again.

Some moments are better lived than explained. Or maybe better lived and then captured ❤️

Still a few weeks left to experience some passionate water fun before the cold comes again for another winter ❄️

You know those days where you just have it figured it out. Life seems easy and all the stresses from yesterday seem blurry and distant. These are the days that make all the hard ones worth it. These are the days you lay in the grease and teach your kid to build shapes out of clouds. You meet your friends and let the kids run wild outside and plan the spontaneous trips. You make the blueberry lemonade and blueberry jam that takes forever. These days overshadow all those heavy ones. Here’s to the good days 🙃

Drink enough water.
Eat enough protein.
Get enough rest.
Be active enough everyday.
A list of 100 enoughs can make you feel not enough really quick. You can cut your calories, walk 2 miles everyday..cut out all the things and guess what…now your milk is depleted and your baby is hungry because you’re not eating enough. *sigh*
Gaining weight during pregnancy…it doesn’t matter how many times you say we’re beautiful, every woman feels like a truck hit them. We are stretched out, our abs are figuring out life again, our b***s weigh 10 pounds, our back always hurts from carrying our beautiful growing babies, we don’t get “enough” rest bc we are subconsciously awake for 18 years after having those beautiful babies. Crying happens randomly and our dogs overstimulate us. And nobody does the freaking dishes 🤷🏼‍♀️ We smell like milk from 2 days ago because switching loads of laundry means our baby has to deal with being put down for 3 minutes 😂 We’re learning all of this parenting and motherhood…all the while still being a woman and wanting to look good. Well…all of this is me at least, so idk about you, but I wear boxers 24/7 and I’ve given up on looking in the mirror. I’m tired of hating my body. What it looks like now and accepting it…instead I just want to be healthy. I can hike a good hill and walk 4-6 miles a day, and not drink sugar drinks and eat good food. At the end of the day…my husband thinks I’m more than enough and I feel good ignoring all the voices telling me I’m not. So if you’re a mama on day 4 without a shower and you also forgot to feed your dog breakfast…you’re doing great 🙌🏻

SOLD OUT! Dm if you want to be out on the wait list for cancellations.

Ok AK mamas…I’ve been seeing so many fall minis posted recently. I’ve been pretty excited as I make Alaska home for myself…even though I lean into storytelling and documentary style photography…I kind of have a thing for cheesy minis for the holidays 😆 So this year I have fall minis for September 19th! With a wonderful friend lending me their rad Scout vehicle to use as my prop! The location will be up Hatcher Pass (of course it depends on which one I snag on the day of). All the details are below! If you’d like to share with other mamas and families 🙏 Depending on how my bookings go for this, I’ll be diving into my Christmas minis too 😍

I will be decorating the trunk with fall blankets/pumpkins etc..🙂
