Jenkins Family • Happy Birthday Myla-Jade

Thanksgiving was a couple months ago, but it was one of the few times my whole family, including my husband, were all together in 2017. I love any time I can get these favorite people of mine, but Thanksgiving this year was one of my favorites. Seeing little MJ grow each time I see her is one of the coolest things. She is full of personality these days! She's a cat lover, so it was awesome seeing her cuddle up to Simba and Kovu, who are both very docile. Oh how talkative MJ is too! She always was mumbling something and I loved it! 

Beside adoring MJ all of Thanksgiving, we were also able to get family photos of the Jenkins. MJ would not share her smile during the session! I was so bummed! I could get her to smile any other time during the trip. Heck, she smiles at me on FaceTime every week! But she was still just as adorable as ever. I'm so glad I get to see this family of mine next week.

Happy Birthday dearest Myla-Jade! See ya next week! 

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! 

Joelle + Trevor • Mountain Anniversary

When it comes to family sessions, I have always made it a goal to take the parents aside and get updated images of just the two of them. Life gets busy and crazy. Date nights may not happen as often as they used to, and that quality time together ends up being the 20 seconds laying in bed before you fall asleep. But marriage is so important. And I'd say it become that much more important once you do have littles. Which is why I LOVE getting these shots. I love capture love still on fire. Joelle and Trevor still look like newlyweds. Enjoy their anniversary session up in the mountains!
