They met on Tinder. It's amazing to me actually how often I hear that statement these days. Tinder, and dating apps like it, are probably the number one way people are meeting and starting real relationships these days. Robert and Kate are one of those couples. It only took a couple days of being "matched" that Robert had convinced Kate to go do a hike with him. This hike was in a "very popular place" down in the Phoenix area and so Kate felt safe.
Read MoreThis is the SECOND year I had the privilege of photographing this amazing family of three, and what an honor It is. They are kind, thoughtful, so easy to talk to, and absolutely beautiful. I am so excited to be able to share some of my favorite photos of these guys and I hope you love them as much as I do!
Read MoreThe Opfar family is a family that reminds me of the family I grew up in. Three siblings who clearly love each other and a mom who makes it clear that family photos are non-negotiable. For us, this meant that while they were on vacation up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest I had the opportunity to capture this amazing growing family. Of course, this was the week it decided to rain almost every single day. So while we would have preferred the sun and warm tones, we got some rain and cool tones. That said, it didn’t slow down these guys, and we ended up with such an awesome family shoot. I absolutely loved meeting them and getting to know them a little bit more, and I’m so exited I have the privilege of showing off this amazing family.
Read MoreI met Lilli for the first time when we set out to do her senior photos. You see, Lilli isn’t local, so when her family came up here to visit she thought of the (excellent) idea of having her senior photos done in a place that is totally different from where she lives. I not only love that idea, but I’m also pumped that she chose me to be the one to capture those memories and moments. In talking with her I found she is kind, thoughtful, and has great energy. I truly had a lot of fun getting to know her and her family, and I’m excited I get to share these photos with you!
Read MoreOver 10 years ago I worked at the Coeur d’Alene Resort as a Valet. One of my favorite people to work with was Tyler. If you know him, you know he’s easy to talk to, quick to laugh, and even if it’s pouring rain he’s down to have fun. So when him and Kassandra asked me to be there on their wedding day to capture each moment, I was excited. Tyler has picked an incredible bride who is like him in so many ways. She’s thoughtful and kind, ready for adventure (look no further than their instagram) and seems to always have a smile on her face. Being able to be at this wedding was something I loved, but being able to share these moments, these photos, with you is something i’m extremely proud of. Also, sorry i’m not sorry about all the sunset photos - it was just that good.
Read MoreThey met in high school. They didn't go to the same school but they were on the same track team - or something like that. I asked them what they remembered about their first impression of each other, and for Jesse, it was simple "she's pretty". This is similar to the first thought I had of my wife, so I can relate to that. Anyway, Nicole wasn't too far off, thinking Jesse was "cute". The thing is, they would immediately start flirting. At the time, neither one was in a relationship and Jesse would start hitting on Nicole by telling her jokes. He figured, as long as she was laughing, things were going well.
