Feeling comfortable during your session is so important! If you're feeling hesitant about booking your session, because you're worried you're going to be awkward, you don’t know what to do with your hands, or are already telling yourself you won’t like the photos..⁠

Then, I'm here to tell you that it's not actually your job to know how to pose at our session, IT'S MINE! So, I will direct you & your partner from start to finish and that's not saying I make my clients pose in certain ways, but I will prompt you to do small things like talk to each other or sway side to side & touch noses. This allows you to break that awkwardness you might feel when taking photos with a stranger.⁠

It's such a perfect way to feel comfortable and not feel like you're posing, & this is how I’m able to capture those authentic moments between you & your person!

At the beginning of July, I was out of office. ⁠

I went to the mountains with my family & visited a place I hold dear to my heart, Montana. However I had never been to Glacier National Park, this was where we were 90% of our vacation. So naturally as the photographer I am, I decided why not put on a styled elopement while I was there. That’s exactly what I did, I teamed up with .bridal & they have such a wide selection of bridal gowns to choose from right from your phone. If you’re a bride looking to runaway to the mountains, wanting an extra dress for the fun of it, or even need bridesmaid dresses then I might’ve just saved you! ⁠

I’m so in love with elopements & this just fueled that for me. Glacier National Park is such a breathtaking place & so stunning for elopements! I loved being able to hike & see Avalanche Lake, that was absolutely insane & the hike was kinda brutal, but I did it & that’s all that matters. Definitely crossed some things off my bucket list this summer. ⁠

If you’re looking to elope somewhere & need some guidance, then we could be a good match ✨

Wedding season is fast approaching...⁠💒💍

With Fall just around the corner, you're probably starting to plan out your wedding outfits, how you're traveling there, hotels, and so on... All of these things can really add up! So I’d thought I’d would share some tips on budgeting as a guest.⁠

1. Rent out your wedding outfit, buying an outfit for each wedding can be expensive and most of the time you won't wear that same dress again, so renting is a great solution! ⁠

2. Look into other options for staying over, if you're needing to stay a night instead of booking a night at a hotel, look at alternative options like a cheaper Airbnb or staying with friends or family close by.⁠

3. Make a gift instead of buying one, instead of purchasing a gift why not make something like a photo album! You can always find great things at the thrift store too! ⁠

Bonus tip: If you're traveling for a wedding, extend it and make it a vacation for yourself!⁠

Calling all Austin couples...⁠🤗

I'm currently living in Central Texas & I have been photographing some lovers here. I just wanted to remind everyone that I'm currently booking portrait sessions for August in Austin, San Antonio, & Houston areas! I only have a few dates for specific areas.⁠

If you're newly engaged, a momma-to-be, or growing your family, & would love to book a session for August then reach out & let’s book ya in!⁠

This session with Kat & Juan was such a wonderful time in Austin! We beat the heat by going right when this cool art museum in Austin opened in the morning. We walked around & explored this place with all the stunning light & greenery. I absolutely love these two as friends & love when I’m able to capture beautiful people in beautiful places 🌸✨

A trend I'm absolutely here for is the one-year of marriage anniversary session. It's less common for couples to do & I rarely have couples ask me for this. I thought it's something I need to talk about on here, because it's such a special way to spend your one-year anniversary together.⁠

Firstly, your marriage will evolve & grow through the years & life will take on different forms. Having an anniversary session is a great way to document where you are, what you both look like, & the way you still look at each other after another year of being together.⁠

Secondly, you can have a blast with it! It's the perfect date for you both & a great way to celebrate your special day. Valarie & Daniel, decided on popping champagne, eating a cake & dancing around together there was so much laughter & love what better way to spend the day together!⁠

Lastly, it's a huge milestone in your life as a couple & it should be captured! In many years to come, you will want photos to look back on! ⁠

If you have an anniversary that you wanna celebrate then you know how to reach us! Contact us via email & we can chat more about what we can do to help capture your journey 💫 🤍

Hey y’all! I will be OOO starting today until July 14th. I will be responding to all emails, texts, & messages on July 15th when I return to the office. I’ll be fully stepping away from my inbox to be present with my family in the mountains of Montana. ⁠

I just had to share a few more of my favorites from Natalie & Martin’s day! ✨🌸⁠

So you said yes! Now it’s time to let everyone know you’re marrying your bestie and in today’s world that usually means posting the news to your social media.⁠

You've probably seen a few engagement announcements on your feed, naturally you would start thinking "How would I make the announcement... How would I make it special?”⁠

So we thought we would share our biggest tip for the ones who are newly engaged...⁠

DON’T GET INSTA HAPPY AND POST TO QUICKLY⁠

If you want your engagement announcement in a formal manner, then I would highly recommend getting some photos taken to make your grid on insta beautiful! Now I might be a little bias, but an engagement session is just such a beautiful way to announce this special moment to your friends & family.⁠

You definitely don’t need to go book with a professional photographer, pick a nice location, where something cute and bribe a friend to take the photos for y’all!⁠

Oh and of course... THE CAPTION! Here are some ideas... (Partner's Name) Forever best friend." "To know (Partner’s Name) is to love them. I’m so lucky to spend my life loving you."⁠

SAVE THIS FOR LATER...⁠ 💭💭

At the beginning of this month I celebrated my own relationship with someone I hold close to my heart. Kolter & I celebrated 2 years of us being together & as the photographer I am I had to book an anniversary session.⁠

I love having photos to look back in from our lives in this year of us. I felt how my clients do; not sure what to wear for the photos, if my hair looks okay, does my face look dumb, all the questions I had while we were getting our photos taken, but yes I still felt how anyone else would. So just know you guys aren’t the only ones & it’s totally normal to feel this same way I did. ⁠

Tip: early morning sessions are the way to beat the Texas Summer heat.⁠

Huge shoutout to for being the best photographer & friend, I appreciate you & these photos that I will cherish forever 🤍✨⁠

5 things you can do in preparation for your engagement session:⁠

You've booked your photographer & found the location... now what?⁠

Here are some things you should be doing before to ensure a smooth session on the day:⁠

1. Create a mood board, this could just be an inspiration for how you want your photos to turn out like, posing you’re comfortable with, or you liked their outfits.⁠
2. Prepare what you're both going to wear, and try to match your outfits! Photos always come out a lot better when you wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable! Try to have an outfit that is more casual & the other is more formal. ⁠
3. Prepare props, other than of course your engagement ring! What else is sentimental to incorporate into your session? Go on a picnic, eat pizza, grab drinks at a bar nearby, or bring your kiddos & fur babies!⁠
4. Book your hair/makeup appointment - If you know you want this done for the day, I would recommend getting this booked when your book your photographer! Try out vendors before the wedding day! ⁠
5. Scope out the area, visit the location you've chosen and see if there are any backdrops you definitely want to include on the day. If this isn’t up your alley, then reach out to your photographer on some locations they recommend! ⁠

Being prepared will help you relax and be at ease in front of the camera on the day, so I hope this helps y’all!!⁠

Mr & Mrs. Garcia 💫🤍⁠

Wanna know what inspires me? Being able to capture your memories on one of the most exciting days of your life. It brings me such joy to know that my couples care for me & allow me to step into their life & become apart of the family for the day. ⁠

Having just come out of the busiest season of my career. From photographing seniors & grads with weddings, couples, & families in between. I finished off my Spring season with the sweetest people in Dallas, Natalie & Martin. Their day was filled with laughter, tears, & so much dancing! All of their friends & family were their to celebrate these two & their love. It was so refreshing for me & reminded me of why I do what I do. So, thank you Natalie & Martin for letting us to be apart of y’all’s day! ⁠

Everything about this wedding I absolutely love and their day aligned perfectly!⁠

All of the navy & soft pink is perfect for Spring & Summer weddings! 🌺 🌞
