Jodi + Jayden • Carlsbad, New Mexico

There are certain sessions that just set fire to your soul. They leave you feeling inspired and ready to take on the world and this session did just that!

Doing what you love for a living is amazing, but it's also hard work! And sometimes you don't love what you do the same way you did before after. So sometimes that means grabbing your sister and brother-in-law to create some magic! We decided to head down to New Mexico for Christmas and of course the weather was amazing! Jodi told me about The Flumes in Carlsbad a few days before I came up for a visit and I figured we had to go check it out. It wasn't my typical scene I shoot in, but we went ahead and got creative. I loved that I just had fun during this session and I didn't stress about the technicals. If you haven't already noticed, my sister is a total babe so any session with her turns out so dreamy, but this is one of my all time favorites. Thanks to New Mexico and it's pretty light!

Wyatt + Maddi • Rexburg Proposal

Last week Wyatt called me and I knew exactly what it was about when his name popped up on my screen. Everyone knew a proposal was coming. But since I would be documenting the special event, I got all the details and plans earlier on. Wyatt asked Jake and I to set up along with Brittny and Tanner.

We left Rigby with Tanner and Brittny and found the rooftop right around 7:45pm. It was down pouring rain with no sign of slowing down, and the wind was also insane! Tanner drove us around the parking lot to see if we could find any other spots, but there wasn't much options. Right around 8:00pm we decided to just go for the rooftop that Wyatt wanted and we just hoped it'd turn out alright. As soon as we got out of the car, the rain turned into a light sprinkle and then to nothing at all. We were so stoked things were falling right into place for Wyatt's vision! The wind was still a little hard to work with as it blew out the candles multiple times, but it was nothing compared to what it was 30 minutes prior. 

I've known Wyatt and Maddi since they first started date over 4 years ago. To see both of them so happy literally brought tears to my eyes. I was bawling behind my camera as Wyatt proposed. After Maddi said yes, Jake, Tanner and Brittny came out of the side door clapping and congratulating. We hugged, we cried and we celebrated! Congrats again Wyatt and Maddi! Can't wait to document your wedding day!  

Mother Daughter • Idaho Falls Family Photographer

To know someone your entire lifetime and watch them become a parent and mother is an amazing experience. Jodi is my gorgeous sister who I've looked up in every aspect possible. She takes her role as a mother seriously and takes any opportunity she can to teach lessons to MJ. I love seeing Jodi ask MJ to grab her shoes and bring them over with one in each hand. I'm also grateful to have little MJ as my niece. She has been one of the best things for my soul after miscarrying in February. I look forward to every FaceTime call and every reunion I can get!

Can't wait to follow in my sister's footsteps as a mother one day. I couldn't ask for a better example.
