"Sometimes you just know" Mark and Lindsay Engaged {Vancouver WA Wedding Photographer}

"Sometimes you just know!" That's what Mark said to me as he explained his marriage proposal story. I listened to him as he described the experience and I watch her face light up with the most beautiful gleam. Totally and Completely in L O V E.  (All the feels people seriously!)  The way he spoke about Lindsay and how much he loves and wants to marry her-- I thought to myself "I have to photograph this wedding" 
I'm such a sucker for love.. but sometimes I have these clients that I just completely fall in love with!! (who am I kidding.. I love all of them) But- this particular couple just made me so excited to document their special day. Seriously- I'm so honored that I get to photograph their wedding at The Country Garden Estates this summer! 
These two just hit the road and moved to Sunny Arizona. With about a week's notice, we managed to squeeze in an engagement session just before they left. It was a super yucky rainy forecast-- One I'm particularly used to, living in the NW as Photographer. Sometimes it can be a challenge to find the location, when it's super cold and wet outside.  So we hopped in their truck and we drove around downtown Vancouver. I had an idea of where I wanted to go and I told them I'm going to just look for areas based on the light and what inspired me. 
I actually love being forced out of my comfort zone and finding a new unexpected place to shoot. So here are the images from Mark and Lindsay's Engagement Session: 










 I think this last set are my faves!! 😊😊😊😊😊




Are they not just the cutest ever?!?! 

Can't you see why I loved them instantly!! Congratulations Mark and Lindsay! I can't wait to photograph your wedding 💗💗💗💗

Tween Witches - Halloween Styled friend photoshoot Vancouver WA

Image
I had surgery at the end of Summer and was itching to get back to work and be creative after almost 8 weeks off!  A Tween Witches-themed photoshoot in the woods sounded like an enchanting idea! The woods provide a perfect backdrop for a dark and magical setting that would bring out the best of my tween witches. I sent my sister a few inspiration images of woods and clothing that fit my vision and she and my niece gathered up all the things and helped bring my idea to life with these images!  The woods provided a natural setting that was used to create a dark and eerie atmosphere. We shot around 5pm at the end of September. Using a higher F stop and some Flash I was able to create a dark look. I also added in some smoke effects using Smoke bombs I purchased from Smoke Effect Online  as well as some Smoke overlays.  Friendship is one of the most precious and beautiful aspects of life. It is the bond that we cherish and the people who stand by us through thick and thin....

Getting Ready for your Wedding: Tips for Brides

Image
 Let's talk about Wedding Hair and Makeup and how long you will need to get ready on your wedding day. When it comes to planning your wedding day timeline this is a question I get a lot from brides "How long will it take to get ready?"  Generally, the answer is different for every bride and I try my best to give great advice when it comes to planning these details but let's face it, I'm the photographer, not a wedding planner or HMUA. I typically will suggest my brides get ready early and plan at least 1 hour per bridesmaid for hair and makeup. It seems like a lot of brides think they are going to have all day to get ready but time slips away very quickly on the day of. I have seen bridal parties with 10+ bridesmaids get full hair and makeup and still arrive on time ready for photos with no hiccups and I've seen small bridal parties struggle to show up an hour late to the ceremony. It's so important to make sure you have enough time for everyone to get rea...

Photographer Vancouver WA - Baby Finnen's First Birthday Cake Smash

Image
 Oh, I had the best time photographing this little one. It's kind of wild his mommy was our babysitter just a few years ago and now she's grown up, married, and has a beautiful growing family!! Time goes so fast!  It's pretty special to capture this big milestone; Finnen's first birthday and I love a good cake smash. These images were shot in the studio in Vancouver WA aka my house with an adorable neutral set that I pulled together with a few of my vintage props and some other borrowed home decor items. His cute little birthday outfit can be found on Amazon. I love cake smash sessions and how adorable it is to watch a baby get down on some cake. All the faces!! It's seriously the cutest thing ever!   The milk baths are super fun! I love the oranges in these ones!  Photographing babies on their first birthday is a heartwarming and delightful pursuit, capturing a moment in time that is both fleeting and cherished. This milestone is not just any birthday; it marks...
