Joel & Sarah - Seaside, Oregon Beach Engagement

When Sarah contacted me for photos on the Oregon Coast, it was a dream come true. The forecast called for a 100 percent chance of rain, but Sarah has a great adventure threshold and said, rain or shine, they would be there!

Even though it was a December day, it was warm…hearing the powerful waves roll in, the sand in our toes, watching my kids experience the ocean for the first time, and experiencing the sun dipping below the horizon was out of this world.

Joel and Sarah share such a love for adventure and wild things. Here’s to the rest of your lives wandering together!

Josef & Laura ~ 5 years married ~ Glacier National Park, MT

When my friend Michelle of MEE Photography reached out to me wanting to partner together for a styled shoot in Glacier National Park, I was totally in. Basically, any excuse to wander up to Glacier, I’m in. Josef and Laura were celebrating 5 years of marriage together and it seemed like the perfect opportunity for an anniversary session. We headed out to the Hidden Lake trail at sunset to capture the sun dropping below the majestic mountains and saw some bighorn sheep that seemed quite ok with people. Laura, Josef, and I have known each other since we were kids ourselves. It has been amazing to watch them grow up and raise a family of their own. Here’s to many more years of happiness. By the way you should check out Laura’s photography work here. Michelle, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the rest of your exploring this great park!

Carter & Jenna - Roadside Adventure

I met Carter and Jenna in Columbia Falls, Montana to begin our adventure. I was particularly excited about it because it was from this session we would use the behind the scenes footage to create a promotional video for my business. They both climbed into my ford pickup and it would come in handy as the road up has some fairly gnarly potholes. We exchanged hiking, mountain climbing stories. Turns out Jenna has a case of mountain wanderlust also. Mark and Carolyn from Storybright Films were so fun to work on this project together with. We found this lovely little campsite with some great views of the Great Northern mountain and Hungry Horse Reservoir in the backdrop. Watching the sun dip behind the mountain and wandering down the dirt roads is always a wonderful time! Carter and Jenna were so sweet and willing to do any adventure together. Carter was even showing off his yoga moves towards the end. Enjoy!

Mark & Carolyn - Vow Renewal

Mark and Carolyn and kiddos took an extended road trip around the country to visit and take in some of our national parks. They picked Glacier National Park as a location to do their family photos and vow renewal. I’d say they made a good choice! We got up super early (because we all know the sun comes up early in the summer) and started our journey to this large rock. So majestic and so amazing to be able to capture this vow renewal for eons to come! Thanks for the fun time and amazing ice cream topping stuff straight from South Carolina. Mark and Carolyn own Story Bright films. In the evening, I got the opportunity to have them shoot my promo video for my business. I cannot wait to see it!

Andrew & Vanella ~ Glacier National Park Montana Hiking Adventure

When Andrew and Vanella contacted me about doing a hiking adventure, I was immediately “all in.” I always tell people to experience the park fully I feel like you need to go and wander around in it for a bit. Fully engulf yourself in it’s mountains. I loved getting to know this couple a little more and I love it when people get to experience these mountains that I have known and loved for so long.

Let’s talk about this epic storm. When we started this hike, it was nice T-shirt weather. This storm rolled in and looked harmless. By the time we made it back to the parking lot, it was 42 degrees and we were soaking wet. In July. In Montana. I always tell people the weather here can change so quickly! I love the colorful Arcteryx jackets that they chose also for this trek.

I hope you guys can make it back to the beautiful Glacier National Park sometime soon. Thanks so much for adventuring with me!
