Andrew + Jordin • Mountain Engagements

I met Andrew the day after I met my husband, Jacob. So I have known him for quite some time. He's been one of my greatest friends throughout the years. I still remember him sitting in our apartment this winter swiping through Tinder when he said something along the lines of, "Guys! This girl says she's a special snowflake looking for the sharpest crayon". Andrew was hooked. He had to meet Jordin after seeing that creativity on her bio. They've been inseparable since.

There is no one more perfect for Andrew than Jordin. She is seriously one of the most down to earth girls I know! She brings out the absolute best in Andrew. We adventured to the mountains for their engagements and we had the dreamiest fog! I have wanted to shoot in fog for so long and it finally happened! It couldn't have happened on a better session. I love these two so much. I'm so very grateful for their friendship, their sense of adventure, (even when they want to go to corn mazes in below freezing temps 😂 ), and their kindness.  And they hired me to document their Washington Wedding this winter!!! Jacob and I get to visit Washington again and I couldn't be more stoked! 

Nikki + Steffen • Kelly Canyon Engagements

I met Nikki back at the Marry Market in March. It was a spring bridal fair hosted and held by The Venue in Rigby. I had the chance to chat with Nikki for a few minutes there. She entered my engagement/bridal session giveaway and won! This shoot has been in the works for a couple months, and I'm so glad we were able to make it happen this past weekend! 
We decided to meet up at Kelly Canyon for Nikki and Steffen's engagement session. Kaige came for a couple family shots which just made the entire session that much better. Kaige's little smile was so contagious! Just look at him! And Steffen brought his show truck. Props are actually becoming a new favorite for me. They bring variety and personality into your images. And the classy shots we got with Steffen's show truck were fantastic! 
I'm thrilled for Nikki and Steffen to tie the knot. Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session!

Resa + Jim • A Romantic Picnic

On a beautiful afternoon I was able to get together with Jim and Resa. Jim was an exchange student from Berlin, Germany and was getting ready to head back home. Resa and Jim had the best idea to have a photoshoot done before he left. I was so stoked when they contacted me and mentioned they wanted to have a picnic during their session. I can't think of anything better than that! Activities for photos bring out the best of people and even help you relax and to be yourself during your session. 

Resa loves the water and camping, so this area was perfect! It was great watching Jim and Resa just have fun together. After the picnic we explored. Jim saw the swing set and immediately asked Resa to get on. The candids from the swings and the picnic are my favorites. Real moments are the best moments. Enjoy these two love birds!
