Winter Woods Engagements • Idaho Falls

I met Courtney at the best Birthday party. My friend Brittny had planned the coolest Harry Potter themed party for Tanner. It. was a scavenger hunt and there were clues all throughout Rigby that relate to Harry Potter. Courtney I were on the same team and bonded over a 2 hour car ride in Rigby. She’s got the sense of humor I love and carefree spirit that aspire to have.

Courtney is actually Brittny’s sister. You may remember seeing Brittny and Tanner’s Engagements or their Pocatello bridals a few years back. As soon as Courtney and Brad were engaged I knew I had to get them in front of my camera!

Courtney and Brad met me up in Idaho Falls at one of my favorite pine tree locations. Neither of them ever blinked at the cheesy things I asked them to do. Anyone who’s had a session with me knows I ask my couples to do some odd things during their session which turn out to be the cutest smiles and laughs from the session. Try scrolling through their images and not smiling. Their smiles are so contagious! For being 24º, I’d say they rocked it!

I’m so excited for these two to seal the deal in January in Utah! Enjoy my all time favorites in the woods!

Idaho Mountains • Anniversary Session

Josilyn and Zach were troopers for their session! I had found this super gorgeous location last year in the spring when I went out adventuring and location scouting. I knew it would be perfect for Josilyn and Zach’s anniversary session. I love the view of the mountains but also the farm fields. I feel like it’s Idaho all in one scene. Something else I love about this location is the colors that are already here before leaves are on the trees. I even had to text Josilyn before her session to tell her to bring real shoes since we would have to hike a little bit. The sagebrush and the pines just look awesome right now! Jacob and I even took some personal photos here as well awhile ago!

We also had amazing weather for their session and only 45 minutes from my house! The day before I had went up with my brother-in-law‘s and husband and it was kind of windy. But on Monday it was perfect weather. I love the sun is coming in from the mountains as well. The valley look is just so neat to me. And actually having to hike to a location makes it feel so much prettier. I love Idaho!

Marissa + Josh • Snowy Idaho Engagements

Marissa and Josh met off of the mutual app. I can relate to clients who have met through social media or online dating because me and my husband actually met online! It was over 6 years ago before Tinder was invented so I it’s what I call a “sketchy tinder” back in the day. It worked out for us, so I love seeing it work out for my couples too!

Marissa entered my Giveaway earlier this winter and was the winner! When Marissa won she asked if she could use her session after Josh proposed as engagements, since they weren’t engaged yet. After Josh proposed, we quickly planned their shoot within a week! We headed to one of my favorite spots in Idaho Falls. I love this location because it gives off a forrest vibe, without us having to travel too far or worry about getting stuck in the mountains. These ever green pines always make the perfect backdrop for my adventurous couples. I also pulled out a lens I rarely shoot with for this session and I forget how much I absolutely love it! My favorite images from Marissa and Josh’s session are the one’s with Marissa leaning against the tree. I asked Josh to flirt with Marissa and did he pull through! We also had some of the best weather we’ve had in weeks here! It was a solid 38°F which felt like spring to all of us!
