When you plan an engagement session, there are a lot of pieces that come into play. You have to figure out location options, what time of day will be best for said location, where will the sun be, how long will we have light, outfits to plan, which locations will work best with which outfit? […]

Some brides have dreamed of their wedding day since early childhood and have more than one Pinterest board filled with all of the ideas they would love to have for their wedding day. Everyone, meet Hannah! She’d been planning the most elegant rustic wedding with twinkle lights to illuminate the reception site. Well, when Layne […]

I was first asked about doing their engagement session on Wednesday of last week. At that time, the forecast for Saturday was set to rain all day! You guys, we accidentally threw away my clear umbrellas when we moved cross-country back in June. I was semi-panicking knowing that I didn’t have them on hand already […]

Downtown Napa was a checkmark off my bucket list of places to do an engagement session. When I met Heather & Jake in person, I knew it was going to be an amazing session! They are both just so relaxed and were such naturals with the posing, even when I was accidentally calling him Tyler. […]

I have a deep love for first looks, but not everyone knows what this is. So, let me explain.. A “first look” is a private moment when the bride and groom see each other for the first time, prior to the ceremony beginning. This usually takes place in a secluded area, sometimes with or without […]

With palm trees lining the long white sandy beaches, teal waters, and a mountain backdrop, Ka’a’a’wa Beach is one of those places that you fall in love with as soon as you see it. I know I did. It’s one of those places that scream “Hawai’i” the moment you see it. Maybe that’s why Lexie […]

When Krissy first reached out to me about their family session, she already knew she wanted to have her family session at Lanikai. This beach is special to them because it’s “their beach!” I love when my clients choose locations that mean something to them. A year ago, it was just the two of them […]

I had the honor of traveling back to the mainland for a wedding in Nashville. Nestled in the rolling hills about 90 minutes outside of Nashville sits an open air rustic white chapel. The view is spectacular as it overlooks a creek, hills, and the most beautiful trees. The venue, is Five Star Retreat, and […]

A month ago Ty reached out to plan the perfect surprise proposal to Tay. As we talked, I learned that Tay’s mom and grandma (from here on out, referred to as “Meme”) are super important to her. When they talked in the past about proposals, she always mentioned the same thing…their families MUST be there. […]

Bonnie & Will are expecting their first baby, a boy. What better way is there than to celebrate with once-in-a-lifetime maternity portraits in Oahu? It’s not a secret that Bellows is my favorite beach. It encompasses everything one can think of when it comes to a typical “Hawaiian Beach.” Stretches of long sand with unbelievable […]

Family, sparkles, pasta, buncha crunch...these are a few of my favorite things
Growing up, I always thought I would be a teacher or nurse, or something along those lines since both of those occupations run deep in my family. But, that all changed when I was unexpectedly left without a photographer just 2 days before my own wedding. I knew right then and there that I would do everything in my power to not let another couple feel that same level of stress. For the past 14 years, I have worked to create an environment that allows my clients to actually enjoy their photography experience!
