Jaiden + Beau • Kelly Canyon

I had been looking forward to shooting Jaiden and Beau for awhile, especially with how awesome their first engagement session was. You can view it here. So when Sunday came around and the forecast predicted rain for the whole afternoon, I was pretty bummed. Jaiden mentioned trying a few hours early to miss some of the rain so that's what we attempted. 

When we got up to Kelly's we shot for about ten minutes before in started to completely pour. I asked Jaiden and Beau if they'd be alright waiting it out for a few minutes which ended up being more like 30 minutes. But I'm so glad we did! Once the rain stopped we had a nice overcast afternoon. 

I asked Beau during the session if he wanted a couple shots with his truck and his face instantly lit up! I was so happy to get some images that Beau was stoked about. And Jaiden had mentioned she really wanted fall colors which we sort of had. But right as we finished up we spotted an area where all the leaves were bright yellow! Me and Jaiden about died when we saw it! So we ended up shooting there for a couple more minutes. 

Then we headed back out from Kelly's in our separate cars. Right as I passed Heise Pizza and went over the hill, you could see a view of all the colors and the deep blue sky. Luckily Beau and Jaiden spotted me pulled over and stopped as well and we had another 5 minute session there as well! It was so gorgeous!

I'm so thankful for these two. And I am so stoked for their July Wedding in Island Park! Enjoy just a few of my favorites from their Fall Engagement session.

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!
