playful summer beach couple session
playful arizona desert engagement
Back in November, I teamed up with a few incredible vendors for a giveaway. Harlee was the winner of the giveaway - however she lives in Arizona, so she wasn't thinking she'd get to do the shoot. It's so awesome how social media allows us to connect with others in all parts of this beautiful world. Luckily, I have travel as a big to-do this year + I was able to extend an already planned vacation to meet up with her + Benson.
From what I hear, it was an unseasonably warm day in Arizona - me being an Oregon girl, I was just excited to be wearing a tee and not freezing or in the rain in February!
These two babes are now MARRIED - It was so much fun meeting with y'all + playing in the desert sun.

I so love adventuring with my couples + these two have come along on a few with me!
I have known Natalie since she was about 8 years old through church + cheer. I have been so blessed to watch her grow up into an incredible woman + super boss babe. I just love the love these two have for one another + I'm so excited to watch where life takes them!

I gotta hand this one to Instagram! I was planning a trip to Arizona + Emily reached out to see if I could do some engagement photos for them while I was there. It's so awesome how we get to meet amazing people we might not have met otherwise. I was thrilled everything worked out and we both could make the several hour drive to meet at Lake Pleasant.
Emily + Eric are getting ready to make a big cross country move for Eric to go to grad school and they wanted to capture their time in Arizona before moving. It was so much fun hanging out with them and hearing their love story + plans for their wedding.

For the longest time, I have adored Monique Serra + drooled over her work..so when the opportunity to learn from her came up, I jumped at the chance to do a 1:1 mentorship with her!!
Probably the greatest thing about it was that I immediately felt like I was just hanging out with a best friend, talking photography + frolicking at Dorris Ranch with two gorgeous people in love...it was incredible!
If you are a photographer looking to learn + invest in your business, I seriously recommend checking out the learning opportunities from Monique! Not only is she super talented, she is one of the sweetest, down-to-earth, and genuine people I've ever met.
Also a huge thank you to Jess + Matt for being our crazy perfect models + giving me my own portfolio I'm obsessed with! I mean seriously, could they be any cuter in love?! Major heart eyes over here.. <3
