Adventure Session in Grand Teton National Park

Let’s just gush over these two for a second. Can you believe Lindsey and Jon have been together almost 10 years? They’ve also lived in five different states in the last five years with the Air Force. Currently they live in Denver and I already told Lindsey I’ll be calling them up when I get a chance to shoot in the Rocky Mountain National Park. I’ve been dying to shoot there for so long! And my parents only live 2 hours from it so I’m not sure why it hasn’t happened yet.

We did Lindsey and Jon’s Anniversary session in September and it was still smokey from the wildfires all over the country. I never want wildfires of course, but sometimes the smoke brings out a neat view of the Grand Tetons. It makes the light a little hazy and the colors pop differently. And these outfits, are you kidding me? I’m always a fan of dressing up and Lindsey and Jon showed up! If you can’t tell, these two were just here to have fun which made their images turn out phenomenal!

We went to 3 different spots in Grand Teton National Park. I shot here over 25 times in 2021 so I learned all the best spots for each time of day and different weather and lighting situations. I seriously love shooting couples who aren’t afraid of being silly and having fun during their session. Enjoy a few of my all time favorites from this summer anniversary session under the Grand Tetons!

Idaho Falls Woodsy Engagements

Sierra was working at Pizza Pie Cafe when Josh came in. In the words of Sierra, “I was smitten by him!” Sierra decided to tell her co-worker to tell Josh that he needed to ask Sierra out! And guess what? He did! Their first date was at Gravity Factory in Rexburg, which I must say, that’s a pretty awesome first date. After dating for about 2 months, Sierra made a few jokes about how Josh wasn’t allowed to fall in love with her. On one summer night while they were driving to go hang out with some friends, they were singing in the car. Josh told Sierra he loved her and the rest is history!

Sierra and Josh were a ball to hang out with during their engagement session! It was a pretty chilly day and as much as we wanted to go to the mountains, we decided to stay local so we didn’t get stuck in snow or too cold during their session. I’m glad we went to one of my trusty locations in Idaho Falls! I can’t get over this amazing forest vibe this hidden gem gives off.

I could hang out with Sierra and Josh everyday! Seriously, so kind and down to Earth. Not to mention totally themselves during their shoot! Posing was not required for these two. I appreciated how low key Sierra and Josh were. I feel like these two could have fun doing literally anything! We honestly were out just out in the snow having some fun, and getting a few photos in between it all. I’m counting down the days until Sierra and Josh’s April wedding! I cannot wait to document these two again!

Brianna + Brett • Snowy Mountain Bridals

Brianna came to me knowing she wanted mountains for her bridal session. We played around with a couple ideas and then decided on Jackson. I remember driving up with Jacob and being so tense! Thank goodness Jacob had that weekend off because it was such a sketchy drive with the icy roads! It took us about 2 hours to get there and then I quickly scouted for an area for the first look before Brianna and Brett arrived.
Even though it was below freezing, we were able to create some dreamy photos! I love the snow covered mountains combined with the fog. I've always been drawn to fog so I love any chance I can get to shoot in it. Check out Andrew and Jordin's Engagement Session to see another beautiful session with fog featured in!
Brianna and Brett both toughed it out during this chilly session, but I think it was well worth it!
