We’re feelin SO good!

My favorite bunch of hooligans let me goof around with them again. This time with a new member of the family. Christmas casual and the silly cranked way up.

These are my legacy peeps. My Day 1’s. As I’ve watched their family grow, it’s taught me so much about life, myself, art, and the way I view this version of storytelling. This is all I want moving forward. It’s the only kind of family sessions I will accept. Unscripted, chaotic rumpus of kids being kids, parents being parents, and me being the documentary that I am.

And what a beautiful place to be. 🤍Venue:  Planner:  Florist:  DJ:  Henna:  HMUA:  Photographer:

In my 10+ years of photographing weddings, I had never shot a Hindu wedding until 2 years ago (thank you for the second shooter gig), and since then, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot 4. With other inquires coming in. I am in absolute awe over the pure artistry and intricacy of these mehandi designs. is the best henna artist in Porltand. Period. And + are my favorite New Yorkers by way of Boston and Salem (OR). Period, PERIODT. Lol.

Love y’all. Enjoy your honeymoon, lovers.

I didnt know what a blessing I was walking into the day I met . I didn’t know how much influence and understanding and friendship I’d be walking away with when I booked with her. Always in awe, constantly inspired, by you. We all are.
Cydnie, baby girl, you ARE the moment.
That day, this day, forever.

I’m a perfectionist.
And as a creative and business owner, that can sometimes be super beneficial or absolutely detrimental to the goal: make art, get it seen, make dat money.
Repeat, repeat for insane success.

But I have this thing where I am totally debilitated by the idea of posting on here.
It isn’t fear of judgement, maybe more a fear of rejection. I don’t care what people think as much as I care about how they FEEL about me, my voice or my work.
What if what I post makes somebody feel negatively about me or these incredible people I work with? Or worse, what if they DON’T feel anything when they see it? What if it’s *just* photos.

I met someone recently who felt a lot of the way I feel about social’s and how protective we are of our work. We commiserated over the ick we feel about being on display, but he also told me to just do it. Don’t think so much about it and just post it and let it fly. I’ve heard this a million times before, I’ve even paid people to tell me this at different times. He said post it, then make a habit of doing that.

So, although the most habitual thing I do well is break a habit before it’s formed (inconsistency), I decided he’s right. And even if it is *just* photos, they’ll be here. Ready for big feelings or not.

During client calls, I often get asked what MY favourite part of the wedding day is… and hands down, it’s the getting ready part of the day. It’s the stillness and the hurriedness. The way everyone is handling the bride or groom with the most delicate care. It’s the emotion and the anticipation. The nerves and excitement. It’s the part I miss most on shorter photo days, and it’s the part that I advocate most for taking your time on and being very intentional on who you allow into that sacred space with you.

Here are a handful of favourite moments from my favourite part of the day.

Biding in black and white.

I clowned this guy all night!

One of my favorite things about working the way I do at weddings is getting comfortable with everyone I talk to so that they are comfortable with me. It can be intimidating and straight up awkward to have a camera pointed in your general direction, let alone right in your face. Treating people like we’re old friends, chopping it up, dancing with them… it calms everybody’s nerves, even mine. Plus it makes for some damn good photos afterwards, seeing the joy mirrored back.

Somebody gon’head and tag this peg-legged King. 😉😂🦿
