Photos always mean a little more when they’re tied to a place that already holds memories.

Imagine walking with your little one through these same spots in just a few months and being able to say, “you were here with us and there was the most beautiful rainbow before we even met you” 🩵

That’s why I love sessions connected to places that already matter to you. Years from now, these photos won’t just feel pretty - they’ll hold pieces of this season.

Slide 5 + 6 will forever be moments where I was just standing there in complete awe!

When you look back at your photos you’re going to want something that has meaning not some random location with no connect to this time in your life.

The best wedding photos usually start before the wedding day 🌙

They start at sessions like this - a mix of getting to know each other, understanding your dynamic and this season of life. From that, it creates a space where you realize you do not need to perform perfectly - you just need to be present with each other.

The way B + C laughed through this entire session, stayed out until blue hour, embraced the Oregon coast wind and fully trusted the experience honestly says so much about the kind of wedding day they’re about to have and I’m beyond excited to celebrate with them ♡

C+J’s wedding day had us all going from crying to laughing every few minutes ♡

From her sister, mom, and dad seeing Cassidy in her dress, to Jason’s mom waiting at the bottom of the stairs with the proudest look on her face before the first look, to Jason’s reaction when he saw her… and don’t even get me started on their vows.

Any direction I looked, I could feel how deeply everyone cared for them. Their families were some of the sweetest people, constantly looking out for everyone around them (including us).

Right as the ceremony ended, it started pouring. And instead of panic, everyone jumped in together moving tables and turning the house into the coziest happy hour space. Days like this are such a reminder that weddings are never about everything going perfectly. They’re about being present enough to still enjoy it when plans shift.

We did happy hour in the house, snuck away for some of the sweetest couple portraits in the piano room while Cassidy played for us haha, shifted the timeline around a little, and honestly it ended up being perfect.

Then the rain cleared, the most beautiful Bend sunset came out, and they ended the night with the most epic party.

You don’t need to feel “ready” to have newborn photos you love… and if I’m honest, this isn’t a season you’re supposed to feel ready in.

It’s a little messy and everything is new - YES, that can make photos feel overwhelming, but that’s also part of why it matters.

Maybe you’re thinking, “I want to feel more like myself again,” “I want the house to feel a little more put together,” or “I’m not sure what I’d even do in photos.”

But when you look back, you won’t see the messy house or yourself not looking put together - you’ll just see how small they were in your arms, the way you held them, and the way these early days felt -
a little exhausting, emotional, and beautiful all at once. Before you know it, they’re two months old and rolling over.

And that’s exactly what this session was for T, M + P

You hear it all the time but these photos aren’t on a list.

You only get them when you actually feel comfortable enough to be yourselves.

When a space is created where you’re not thinking about the camera, not wondering what to do, not trying to be anything other than who you already are together and enjoying the time with your people.

Comfort turns into trust - trust turns into vulnerability, only then will I start to see how your story has been building to this day.

I had met Maddie before the wedding day and talked with both of them on the phone but hadn’t had a chance to work with them together yet. So at the start of the day, my focus was just on connecting, learning, noticing and supporting however I could.

By the time we finished getting ready, I could already see the shift - the trust forming and them just feeling present in the day. Which is everything I could ever want for any couple I work with 🌼

Why would you want photos you feel no connection to in 5-10 years? You probably wouldn’t. And that’s exactly why I focus on your story and this season when we’re planning the details.

I’ve always found myself noticing the moments people don’t plan for or pay attention to 🎞️

I think a lot of that comes from how I grew up - big family dinners documented in bins of film photos. Everyone talking over each other, a lot of wine, good food, and so many stories. I was the kid sitting on the table just taking it all in.

It was never about things looking perfect… just about spending time together. And because of that, when I’m documenting a wedding or a season of your life, I find myself focusing on what’s already there instead of trying to create something new.

I don’t remember every story or every dinner but when I look back at those photos, I can somehow feel every bit of it and above anything else, that’s what I want for you.

Your wedding film should tell a story and that doesn’t happen in one day 🎞️
