Courtney & Dominic | Wallace, Idaho Wedding

I had so much fun with Courtney and Dominic downtown Wallace. This is a place they have both built lives over years. They have so many connections, know so many people, it was wild to have the ceremony on the street in the middle of downtown Wallace, but it was also so cool to see all the people and connections they have as they walk around downtown. These two were always ready to have fun, and i loved meeting their friends and family. Such a great couple, such a great day, such a great wedding.

Emma and Rainer's Engagement Photos in Farragut State Park

They met at church. What I initially thought would happen after that sentence was that Rainer would walk over to Emma and introduce himself. He didn't. In fact, there is some debate as to who was staring at who first, but either way, they caught each other's eyes from across the room. Emma on her way in, Rainer on his way out (at least, I think I remember it was that way).

Family Photos with the Bartons

Photographing a family I’ve known for years is always something I love doing. Jamie has coached my boys in soccer (she’s amazing!), and I’ve had the chance to coach Flint in basketball. Plus, Bodie and Lucia are part of the youth group I help with, and I’ve loved getting to know them. This shoot was awesome because I got to interact with the whole family at once and know them even better. What an amazing family—so kind and wonderful to have in my life!

Shelley and Jake's Jewett House Wedding

Jake and Shelley are two people I have really enjoyed getting to know. From our meeting outside at Bakery by the Lake, to being able to listen to their vows early in the morning on their wedding day by the lake (also where they met) has been such a privilege and something I have loved about them. Being able to share these photos, these memories with you is something I'm super excited about, and I hope you love them!

Bea and Landon's Engagement in Manito Park

They met at work! Back in 2020 Bea started working at the Hayden Lake Country Club where Landon was already working. Landon said she caught his eye early, but because she was always wearing a mask he "couldn't tell if she was cute or not". This was all from a distance, as they hadn't really spoken at all. On Bea's side, she noticed Landon and she did think he was cute, because every once in a while he'd come in where she was serving and get a burger and some fries - aka, no mask.

Caden's Senior Photos

While I've had the privilege of working with Caden’s mom multiple times - she’s an excellent makeup artist - This was the first time I had the chance to meet Caden. He was thoughtful, analytical, and easy to talk with. I am pumped with how these turned out, and am excited to share some of my favorites from our shoot!
