Tanner + Brittny • Downtown Idaho Falls Engagements

Our group of friends consist of all of Jacob's buddies through High School. We're all super close and I feel like I even went to high school with everyone too. My brother-in-law, Joseph, and Tanner, roomed together at BYUI for the past two semesters. Joseph joined the Stunt team in the fall and told Tanner he should come with as support and to meet a couple girls. So they joined together. 

In November I noticed Tanner was with a girl, Brittny, in some of his Snapchats. He never mentioned anything in person though which I thought was interesting. I later found out that Brittny was on the stunt team with him and they were good friends. They were hanging out often and Brittny decided to try asking Tanner out. Tanner, being a Meng boy, didn't get the hint that she was into him. He figured she wanted a group to hang out with so when Brittny asked to go to Wendy's, Tanner would invite all his roommates to come with. This happened a few different times including a movie night. Brittny finally went and told Joseph she was ready to give up on Tanner because she didn't think Tanner was interested. Joseph ended up going up to Tanner and saying, "Dude, Brittny's into you!". 

Tanner had an "ah-ha" moment. He'd been into Brittny the whole time but wasn't getting her major hints. They both laugh at the story now, but I honestly think it's pretty cute. Enjoy some of my favorites from their Idaho Falls Engagements. Today is also Tanner's Birthday! Happy Birthday Tanner! :) 

Torsten • Fresh 48 Session

Brittany and I met last February when she contacted me about blog photos. We started having sessions about every two weeks there after and it was wonderful! We explored downtown Idaho Falls together and I got to know her pretty well through our time shooting. She gushed about her two little girls Sophie and Lilly everyday and all I wanted to do was meet them. Oh, did I mention Brittany looked stunning in every single photo for our sessions? Yes, she really did. 

Thursday morning I found a message from Brittany asking what my day looked like. Within just 30 minutes of sending me that message, little Torsten was born. Regardless of how fast he came, and how slow I was to receiving and replying to messages, I was so happy to document these precious moments within just a few hours of Torsten's birth. He was so quiet during the entire hour I was there. Sophie and Lilly came shortly after I did with Brittany's mom, arriving in big sister shirts with grins on their faces. They touched his dark brown hair, his cute cheeks, and his little toes. 

These moments were amazing to capture as a fly on the wall. I truly love documenting real, raw life, especially the once in a lifetime kind of moments. Brittany, you are one beautiful mama with the cutest family I could ever imagine. 

Danielle + Cayd • Idaho Falls Engagements

January was a snowy month here in Idaho. I hadn't seen so much snow in years. Idaho Falls had over 17 inches fall in January alone! For every session I was in at least knee deep snow, and this one was no different! Danielle won my Instagram Giveaway back in November and we started planning a snowy engagement session here in Idaho Falls. I was so excited to shoot their engagement session! 

It was Mrs. Gleaves 7th grade science class when Cayd started hitting on Danielle. He was persistent for some time before Danielle showed her interest in him as well. They started dating and now, 7 years later, he proposed and they're still just as in love! High school sweethearts have a love unlike anyone else and I love capturing it!
