UPDATE 2: All of my available dates have been picked up! I can’t believe how quickly people responded and I’m so excited to see so many of you. I wish I could see everyone! If you missed this round and want to know about any future travel dates, send me a message and I’ll let you know about any plans when they come up. Love you all!

UPDATE - Golden hour dates/times have all been snatched up! If you'd like a session and are up for a morning or late afternoon, shoot me a message.

Hi Everybody! I’ll be back in Walla Walla for a bit this September and I’d LOVE to connect with some of you for photos! If you’re interested, send me a message either here or to my email ([email protected]) and we can chat about the details.
I’m also up for photos in the Boise area too (like this beautiful family below)!

I was so excited to celebrate with Kylar and Blake last weekend. Happy 1 week anniversary, by the way! It was the perfect day – full of love and sweet little details -- even an adorable little first look with Kylar’s nephew. It was my last official wedding on the books, and it was such a perfect wrap-up of so many wonderful moments throughout the years. Congratulations, you two! Next time you’re over in Idaho, let’s go out and keep celebrating!

Wrapping up the last of the weddings on my books (just one more to go!), and despite the hundreds of celebrations, they still get me. I definitely shed my share of happy tears for Nicole and Cody! Their love story spanned the country and years of tough school, and you can tell they were just so happy to be getting hitched. I’m so honored that I had the chance to party with you!

After hearing about their dating experience (extreme road trip through nearly all the states while living in their Prius with their dogs), it was fitting that Lyndsay and Logan packed their bags again and hopped across the pond to France to tie the knot.
Their progressive wedding day plan included hopping on and off the metro to stops at the Place de Vosges, Sacré-Cœur, the Trocadero with views of the Eiffel Tower, and the Pont Alexandre III bridge (and would have included more if it wasn’t over 100 degrees!). We wrapped up with a reception at the 17th century Château de Rubelles where most of the guests stayed for the weekend.
Calling it a nonstop, whirlwind trip doesn’t even scratch the surface. Congratulations, Lyndsay and Logan. Hope you’re getting to rest up and catch your breath!

I’m a bit behind on wedding sneak peeks – I had to make a quick trip across the pond for a wedding. Just before leaving through, I had the pleasure of celebrating with Lindsay & Marcus! Rain on your wedding day is supposed to be good luck, and if that’s true, these two are the luckiest ones in the universe. The rain didn’t let up all day, but we donned umbrellas and smiles and made the most of it. If you two can handle this, you can handle anything!

Thank you to...
The Barn at Blue Meadows - thank you for having such a big barn!
Harper Road Floral for the stunning florals
Jessie Ravenscroft for continuously fixing hair!
Haute Stuff Catering for the always delicious food
And I'm sure many other wonderful people who put this day together!

The forecast all week had called for rain on Saturday, but the skies cleared up just for these two. The day was full of glamour, sunshine, love and laughter. By the end of the night, these two had perfected their dip/kiss, their smolder, and the art of partying and celebrating with loved ones. Congratulations, Kara and Jake!

I only have a handful of weddings left and I intend to treasure every single one. I've been waiting so long for Gabriela and Mariano to tie the knot (but probably not as long as they've been waiting!). Life has thrown them a lot of ups and downs the past few years, but anyone can tell that it has just made them stronger. It was such a treat to spend the day with you both, congratulations!

I’ve been quiet over here on social media. Just resting and listening. Still working a lot, just taking a mental break. Change has been brewing in our little corner of the world.

This summer will mark 15 years of shooting weddings. I’ve only booked a handful this summer instead of my usual full plate. As I said, change has been brewing for a while, but after 15 wonderful years of first looks and first dances, I’ve decided to officially retire from photographing weddings. I can’t even express how grateful I am to so many of you who have entrusted me to help capture the memories from your wedding. I consider so many of you to be among my close friends, but the time has come to pivot.

Even bigger change…once the school year is over, our family will be moving to the Boise area! I’ve been blessed to call the Walla Walla Valley home for my entire life, but I’ve realized that I’m still craving new adventures. My one and only boy will be starting high school next year and I want to spend a few summers together where I’m not working every weekend. A new job for my husband, back to school for myself, and more time family time for all of us. I’m taking a few classes now and hopefully jumping into nursing school soon.

In the meantime, I am hoping to devote more time to my portrait photography and to have more energy to breathe creativity back into my families, seniors, and newborns. We’ll be here in Walla Walla until June and I would LOVE to see you all in front of my lens! We’re keeping our home here as well (you can peek at it on both Airbnb & VRBO), so hopefully we’ll have lots of visits back to the area. I’ll still be shooting over in Boise too, if you ever feel like a road trip or just need a place to crash.

The love and support from our community here in Walla Walla has been so overwhelmingly positive while I grew my business. I’ve met so many people and had so many wonderful experiences through my lens that the idea of change brings tears to my eyes. But, to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven, and we really feel that this change is the best for our family right now. Thank you all for loving us!

Wrapped up my 2021 wedding season with a bang! We ended up with the absolute most beautiful day to celebrate Ashlyn & Anthony’s wedding. I’ve known Ashlyn since she was born (yep, I’m that old), and it was such an honor to be there to see her marry her best friend. Everyone was laughing and smiling and crying all day. Congratulations, you two!

The skies cleared up just in the nick of time, revealing a perfect fall day for Maloree & Kyle. It felt as though the whole town showed up to celebrate. I loved hearing stories from family and friends about how long they knew the couple and special they are. Mal & Kyle, thank you for sharing your day with me!

What a special wedding this was! Melissa & Clayton, it was so obvious that all of your friends and family were so thrilled to be spending this day with you. There were so many moments and memories woven throughout the day and in all the little details. I hope these photos help to bring back all of those wonderful memories and that it’s just the start of a lifetime of many more!

The fantastic vendor team…I think was mostly friends and family! Everybody stepped up to make the day flow pretty seamlessly. A huge shout out to Staci Wanichek for second shooting with me. You are truly a ray of sunshine!
