For someone who doesn’t watch a lot of sports, I am great at being a fan. I love to root for people.

From the minute I first spoke to Meg, I was rooting for her. In April 2024, I took photos of them in the lilac fields and in-between every shutter click we gabbed and gabbed. Her *at the time* boyfriend literally required no scripting from me. I’d be seconds away from suggesting he brush her hair out of her eyes and he’d be doing it already, holding her hands whenever his were empty, and grinning at her. It was the thrill of my career that she invited me to her wedding. I loved every minute of it. She is still saved in my Contacts as Meg! 🤍👰‍♀️ I don’t think I will ever update it.

She texted me this spring to ask about maternity photos. This life update from her had me in tears. I just am so absolutely rooting for her and Kyler to have the exact life they deserve, those two angels.

She messaged me again yesterday to let me know that they’re expecting baby Fletcher to join the world today. I don’t know how to express this in a way that doesn’t make it weirdly about me, but I am so freaking happy that I picked up a camera a decade ago and now I get to take photos the Fletcher family. Harper is going to be such a good dog sister and we already know that Meg and Kyler, who love others and each other so well, are going to be the world’s kindest parents.

I dare you to ask me to tell you a love story.

I won’t tell you one I made up or one of my own. I won’t retell one that I saw in a movie or read in a book. Instead, I’ll tell you about one that was told to me. I’ll tell you about the one I heard from people who were lucky enough to witness it firsthand. I’ll tell you the story of the world’s most beautiful princess and her prince and the way they’d happily do anything for their friends but would prefer not to ask anything of anyone. I’ll tell you about how the princess’ friends know the depth of her kindness. I’ll tell you about how the prince’s friends tease him that he became the best version of himself when he met the princess. I’ll tell you about a party they threw where the prince changed the garbage bags himself, rather than ask anyone else to do it. I’ll tell you about the princess who spoke to her party staff and checked in to make sure they had everything they needed.

I heard the details of this love story from Kami, Kinsey, and Trey. They told the story of people who are wonderful on their own, but somehow even better together.

It’s a lovely story and it has a happy ending. I hope I get to tell you all about it someday.

Q + J, I am out of words to talk about how beautiful you are, but I hope you know how much it speaks to your character the way that others are so quick to extol you, applaud you, and root for you. It speaks to your kindness and your extraordinary reputations. I am so grateful that you invited me to spend some time with you to celebrate your love story. I loved every moment of it but *especially* the trivia over dinner, the cake cutting, Jace giggling as you swung him in the yard, Jack and Mayzie joining for a few photos and a lot of pets and kissing, and lighting ci**rs in complete darkness at the end of the night.

This is what I mean when I say that love looks like something. This is what love looks like. It’s irresistible, right? Impossible to look away from. For me, it’s impossible to be near without smiling.

There’s a line by a poet that I don’t actually remember - Richard Wilbur, I think - that goes something like “I would wish for you again, one hundred times I would wish for you, but I would always wish to start life with you sooner.” I love the feeling it evokes, even half-remembered, that sometimes we wish we could have filled our earlier memories with the people we love today. These two have been in love for years and their early memories overlap. They lived in Moab together and were fishing guides. They found each other young and made memories, and now they get to spend all of their lives together, making more memories. I mean, come on. That is the dream. Tomorrow they are getting married in a castle, which is also the dream.

I am so excited to be there to witness a very small slice of their memory-making together. Love. It’s so pretty to see when it’s done well.

Happy Father’s Day to all the great fathers out there and especially to this one who is celebrating as a first time dad today! This father is so sweet with Baby Beckett and somehow even sweeter with Taylor, he’s very easy to like and he recently aided me in pulling a prank on our shared friend, which means he’s now a forever pal, he is one of those men whose children will grow up without ever learning what it feels like to have an absent or angry parent and instead - I am confident - will always know that they can ask their dad for help.

Some Dads really make this holiday one worth celebrating!

Taylor, I having been waiting to share these photos and I am so glad I finally had a good excuse to! Thank you again for having me over for newborn photos. I loved every second of time with “Baby Bucket!”

I swear to sample-heaven that a dozen or more of my formative childhood memories were made at Costco. I distinctly remember tasting rice pudding for the first time ever; I did not like it. I remember never wanting to run errands with my mom - unless Costco was on the list and then I’d call “Shotgun” so I could sit in the front seat on the drive there. I remember my grandma teaching me how to eavesdrop on couples who were figuring out if they really needed a new blender or if they could eat an entire case of apples before they went bad. I remember loving it when the receipt-checkers drew a smiley face on the receipt I handed them. I remember the thrill of a hot dog and a soda for $1.50 and Costco’s foodcourt being close enough to my high school that I could drive there at lunch.

Costco is formative.

I had so much fun trailing behind Sage. This was an abnormal photoshoot because his parents were doing their normal shopping. I loved it. Going forward, I want to do at least half of all my family sessions at Costco. We had so much fun! He - like all of us - loves going to Costco. He especially loves the hot dog at the end.
