Billy + Mckenzie

April 18, 2018

Possibly one of my favorite engagement sessions of all time. These two jumped in the ocean in the middle of March and it was magic. Click one of the pictures below to see more!

This was taken on the side of a parking garage and honestly if you guys saw where most of my favorite shots are taken you’d probably laugh at me. 🙃

FIRST LOOK DREAMS.

Rosie + Drew + the most amazing purple (pink? idk) wall from yesterday’s wedding. 💜💞

Fridays are such a sweet gift around here. Today Ben and I did some yard work, I drank a pot of coffee and we’ve been laying in bed eating candy and watching YouTube videos together for the last hour. It’s sometimes hard for me to rest during busy season (like when there are galleries to deliver, emails to answer, travel dates coming up quickly) and I honestly have to consciously choose to trust the Lord with my time and take a day to just be a wife/friend/human being that doesn’t just edit all the time. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyone else?

I wore jeans outside today which was really dumb but now we’re doing pizza and beer with friends which is really smart so you tell me how this Thursday is shaping up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last time I photographed Ben + Lauren it was pouring rain on their wedding day and we were laughing through the whole ordeal. Now they have a sweet little newborn, are still the most fun to have in front of my camera and are two of my favorite people. I love the McGowan’s and I love these summertime sessions!

Took a few minutes this morning to drink coffee, listen to worship music and journal about all the reasons I’m thankful for this job. The Lord has been so kind to let me do this for a living and I don’t ever want the busy seasons to overshadow how blessed I am to be living this dream! Trying to get better at taking moments to stop and be thankful and it’s not hard to find a lot of reasons to be grateful. 💕

Went on a messy movie date with these two for today’s mentor session. I think I’ve photographed Ang + Kev at least four times now and it probably won’t be the last. ✨ Love love love these people!

Hi, me again. Constantly indecisive about close-up pictures but they’re really doing something for my creative spirit these days. Here’s a few faves from last night with the most perfect humans.

YOU GUYS!!! I am so blessed by the couples I get to hang out with every weekend and today was no exception. Leah + Jason we’re a DREAMMM (look at that green suit!) and it was so refreshing to be back shooting so close to home. I freaking love this job! Also I’m really proud of this before/after to swipe to see the fun changes. ✨

Things this picture doesn’t show you: the 10+ very kind children and adults we had to ask to move so we could snap a few pictures, how soaked we were from the 5 minute rainstorm that hit right before and me, standing on the road while @sophie_lindler took this because I was 5 days post-op from knee surgery and couldn’t walk on the rocks. Honestly each wedding day takes a village and I’m so thankful for mine!

Those barefoot summer vibes.
