Winter Elopements are magic, especially the ones that happen on a day when it snows so hard you’re forced to change plans Kayla and Michael found themselves in this wildly romantic situation. They found the nearest dive bar, changed in the bathroom and we found a pretty snow covered spot to say their vows. Their wedding day has some serious swoon factor!

Newborn + Parenthood photography is close to my heart. I am a mother of three (9, 6 & 3) I know how delicate and fleeting these moments are. Babies change so much in the first week, you want to photograph every second. I am so happy for this new family of five <3 So much LOVE fills this house <3

Congratulations to the Newlyweds Rachel + Will Scheele :: 

These two Spokane love birds married in the bride’s home state of Virginia. Their venue, The Middleburg Barn, was surrounded by rolling hills covered in vineyards and horse stables. They say Virginia is for lovers, and I completely agree! This posh barn was perfectly tailored while […]

This couple gets my “Best Wardrobe Award” …ok, ok it’s not really a thing but after seeing this couple slay I just might! Wardrobe is such an important part of your photography session.

With it’s dynamic crescent shaped bays nestled into cliffside, Lake Coeur d’Alene is one of my favorite spots for romantic adventure seekers.
