The most grounded and beautiful evening with D+M on the Olympic coastline 🐚 🌊🌲

what was supposed to be a totally rainy evening, ended up being a ~slightly~ overcast and windy evening with the most unexpected sunny moments. We laughed, reminisced about their courthouse wedding just a few months ago, talked about the hardships they endured individually and together, and tried to cross the water at low tide.

it was a beautiful evening full of adventure and new beginnings. I adore my clients and I’m so grateful for each and never one of you for trusting me to document such tender and important moments of your lives 🥹💗

What if I told you that I have a running list on my phone of “things that I’ve learned at my clients weddings/elopements”? I’m not just talking about technical lessons or photography improvements.

Things that have stuck with me forever…like “Always say the kind thing” and knowing that my clients are grabbing a photograph with their grandparent for the last time…hearing speeches about how my clients collect friends and seeing the tears well up in their eyes…

Yes, I have a running list of little gems of knowledge, insight and lessons I felt and learned from each wedding I’ve ever been privileged to photograph.

But most importantly…What is done, is not done lightly. I am always left with a heart absolutely BURSTING at the seams the moment we meet in person and the moment I get back into my Airbnb, back sore, feet aching and cheeks stained with tears.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your story. Thank you for trusting me to tell your story.

Thank you for giving and sharing your love with me and so many in 2025. You are all so special. You are what make me know, see and feel love. True, honest, pure and REAL beautiful love. Thank you.

Macy + Ezra’s Wedding featured in British Vogue!

To document Ezra and Macy’s day filled with simple morning details in Macy’s parent’s 1900’s farmhouse, Peaky Blinders inspired fits, and end the day with portraits overlooking the Columbia River Gorge was an honor and left me with so much joy.

I have a whole musings of thoughts surrounding this incredible advertorial opportunity that I’ve been given in the comments below, which I encourage you to skim through! A lot of it is me being vulnerable and opening up a discussion to openly share thoughts surrounding advertorial topics, which is something I want to be transparent about.

What I did for these moments and photos to happen was to show up. To observe. To be in-tune with my couples wants and needs.

I don’t believe that we need to create a whole production in order for authentic work to show through. In fact, I believe that for me to create in the most authentic way, I need to be hands off and direct only when necessary.

I used to think that being featured in a magazine meant that you were “big enough” to have “made it” or that somehow you were just hand-selected without any artistic and financial consideration on your end. To throw “As seen in” or simply “featured in Vogue” as a single line caption without any back-end just didn’t sit right with me personally. One of my values in my life and in my business is authenticity and transparency.

I have been given an advertorial opportunity to be featured in British Vogue!!! So yes— when I share that this was an advertorial opportunity, that meant that I was offered a spot to be advertised with British Vogue. And that it is something that I thought a lot about.

We oftentimes put ourselves in a box of what we think we should be doing: what kind of art we should be creating based on others artists perception of success, what kind of weddings or elopements or clients we should be booking or turning away, how we should edit to fit in or stay on trend, etc.

So when I was given the opportunity I thought “I’m a wedding and elopement photographer. I don’t book high-end luxury weddings or exclusively do weddings either”…in fact, I’m learning more into elopement work now more than ever! But then I realized…the only person that’s putting myself in a box of expectations is myself. And so showing what this REALLY looks like and how to confront it with authenticity that feels true, aligned and authentic to me is what I wanted to share and is what I’m trying to get at.

If you want to shift away from weddings because you genuinely feel drawn to, then do it. If you want to book high-adventure elopement experiences, then do it. If you are in the mix between the two (like me), then guess what? You make the rules and you do what you feel is right for you.

I’m both honored and grateful to have been given this opportunity and couldn’t have had it without any of you. Thank you for helping make my business and life what it is and thank you for being a part of it in so many ways.

Today feels especially bittersweet, as we are celebrating the planet amidst environmental rollbacks and deregulations. To be honest, i used to think earth day was a little woo woo celebration and a day to remember to not litter.

But now it’s all different—I cry when I stand on the edge of a coastal cliff with waves crashing against the sheer rock edges. I pray and thank God when I walk around sacred and quieted forest with the birds singing hymns to one another. I stare into sunsets as a warmth and peace fills my chest with a soft weight, reminding me of my tiny existence in this vast world.

This earth day feels different. More political, more heavy, more scarce. Now that I understand how sacred our lands are and how at risk they can be under certain circumstances, it makes my heart ache for our future on this beautiful planet we get to call Mother Earth.

I don’t want to make this a political post, but I have had so many mixed feelings on earth day this year. I will always do what I can to protect our lands— not because it’s the “right” thing to do, but because not doing so feels so personally wrong to me. My values are rooted in our planet earth and protecting it.

Long story short…I’m so grateful for a job that allows me to celebrate an intertwining love of humans and love of Mother Nature. Let’s try to give back as much love and gifts as it gives and gives and gives to us 🌍🍄🌲🌊🌻🌅⛰️

building my “branding” over the last few years in my business has just been about re-discovering my true, authentic self. Re-connecting with my inner child. Tapping into my happiest memories as a kid— laying in fields looking up at the blue sky in awe and wonder, climbing my front yard trees with a book in hand just to read on the open branches and feeling deeply fulfilled after meaningful + deep conversations + connections with friends, family and strangers.

“rooted in humanness | rooted in nature” is so much more than a phrase…it’s how I navigate my life and my interactions with the world and strangers and people I love on a daily basis.

Branding is not just about the colors or the logo or getting new photos done. It’s so much more than that.

For me, this has been an ever-evolving several month journey of deep reflection and tapping into and re-discovering my core values.

I’ve known the kind of work I wanted to document and the kind of clients I wanted to work with for a long time, but didn’t know how to achieve it or approach it. Now that I’m stepping into that space with true confidence, it makes sense to look back on how my life has drastically changed over the last 3 years and recognize that I’ve also stepped into my truest self with my truest core values.

I love the butterfly I’ve become in this past 3 year metamorphosis for myself and my ever-evolving, growing and changing business.

Thank you so much for being here.

P.S…and yes, you will be seeing more of these photos and other branding/about me posts. did such an incredible job, I can’t not share more!!

Happy first day Fall!! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my page as I’m mainly active on Instagram. But here’s a little peek into Veronica’s senior session in the pines and lake 🍁🌲🍂

12/15/2023

Part 1- When I asked Lauren and John was their favorite things were about each other prior to their anniversary session, here are some sweet snippets of what they said:

Lauren: “The list is so long, I don’t know where to begin. He cares so much about his friends and family, and it shows in everything he does. He’s also my favorite travel partner in the whole world!”

John: “She has this gravitational pull around her. I want to make a home in her heart, to sit with a glass of wine and talk to her for hours. I love the way her brain works, thought processes and synapses that feel like an endless and endlessly entertaining path to walk down. She is beyond thoughtful and compassionate to me, her family and her friends. She is always herself and never anyone else.”

And when I met them I felt such a kindred spirit to them and could instantly see how deep and profound their love was for one another— beyond words.

What a special and fun evening this was together— I take all of my sessions very intimately and personally and promise you that I will document that love beyond words for you and your partner as intentionally and thoughtfully possible.
