Re-Branding • Instagram Giveaway

When I attended Michelle and Meghan's Retreat last month, we had the opportunity to be mentored one-on-one with each of them. My first mentoring session was with Michelle and her initial questions was, "What is your story?"

I honestly had no idea. I didn't know what my story was. Michelle starting digging deeper and I realized what I wanted my business to be all about. 

Couples in the mountains. 

I told her my dreams of traveling all over the U.S. and photographing authentic love in National Parks. Thanks to Michelle, I got down to the core of why I love the mountains and why they are so important for my couple sessions. You can read all about that here. (You'll want to read it.) 

Meghan and I got to chat the next day and she helped me come up with a simple sketch for a logo which had the mountains in between my business name. It was exactly what I wanted and I didn't know it until she put it on paper for me! That's when Ali came in. 

Ali's one of those girls who is amazing at everything she tries. One of those many things is branding and website designing. Ali branded, designed, and gave my site a complete overhaul and I LOVE IT!!! It is seriously everything I ever wanted in my site plus more! She took my very small, simple idea and figured out how to make it me and my business. Seriously, go exploring through my website!!! It is phenomenal! And anyone thinking about getting a logo, re-branding, website designing, get a hold of Ali! She was so easy to work with, figured out what I wanted, and  made sure I was happy with everything she did. You can contact her HERE.

With this huge new and improved brand, I figured it'd be a great time to do.... A Giveaway! I want to give a couple an awesome session full of laughs, slow dancing, and time away from the real world. Not to mention, some gorgeous images too. Want to enter? Head over to my Instagram here and read all the details on how to enter on my most recent post.

Savannah Sheppard • Rigby Senior

Savannah found me on my Instagram just a few weeks back when she got ahold of me. I was so stoked when she asked me to do her Senior photos! We started putting together details on her session and we decided to start with a downtown look in Rexburg and have the majority of the session in some pretty greenery.

When I left for Savannah's session, it was pouring rain in Rigby! Because my weather app said no chance of rain just an hour earlier, I figured it couldn't last long. Luckily it didn't rain on us at all and it brought out a gorgeous sky for all of Savannah's session! I may have gotten a little carried away with it in all honesty. 

Savannah is such a sweetheart. Can we talk about how beautiful this girl is inside and out?! She also did her own hair and make up which looked phenomenal! And since Alyssa and her mom were tagging along we went ahead and got a few with all three of the gorgeous girls. Enjoy my favorites from Savannah's amazing session! 

Abbott Wedding • Trouts Ranch

Carissa and Jacob's wedding day was one you'd find in a magazine. We had the Teton Mountains as a backdrop for family and bridal photos, Carissa and Jacob were completely and totally in love and you could see it on their faces, and the entire family was so welcoming of me into their special day I hardly felt like a photographer.

Their ceremony was beautiful. One thing that really stuck out to me was when the Officant had Jacob and Carissa pour two different colors of sand into a bottle to symbolize becoming one as husband and wife. That was the first time I'd seen a Blending of the Sands in a Wedding Ceremony and it was such a great reminder to me even in my own marriage.

In addition to having a gorgeous couple, we had beautiful light! Majority of Carissa and Jacob's wedding took place outside allowing me to get the BEST images! Natural light will trump artificial light always. So their entire day was a dream to shoot. And check out that send off. One of the cutest! :) Congrats Jacob and Carissa! Enjoy the married life! It's the best! :)
