A sunset beach session in Destin is an amazing experience for any couple and it was so incredible to get to experience it with S + P (two good friends of mine!). They moved to the area about a year ago with P’s new job. Then I connected with S on Facebook and we have been friends ever sense!

When it comes to engagement photos, everyone wants to capture their moment in a special way. For C + E, they knew that the perfect way to capture this chapter was to include their four-legged family member, B.

It was such an incredible evening with T and J as we celebrated their engagement with a stunning sunset session in west Destin! It was also the perfect time for us all to get to know each other better before their fall wedding at Eden Gardens State Park.

I met D and D two summers ago in when I was roadtripping from Seattle, Washington to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We connected back then and I did photos for their sweet family (and it was significantly warmer!).

Overcast days are some of my favorites. It is less bright outside which = no squinty eyes, it creates soft light on your skin, and it seems that there are less people out and about! And that is exactly what we got during this week day session near San Francisco with D + M. We could not have asked for better weather. The clouds made it moody and the weather was the perfect temperature.

Imagine a date night with your person that includes a vintage car, a sunset view from Malibu cliffs, and beautiful florals! That is what C + S did on a Wednesday night in February. It is nice and sometimes necessary to take a break in the chaos of life and work to reconnect and breathe. After finding the perfect pull off, with views facing the west, we hoped out of the car to experience the quite up there. My favorite part of this evening was that after the sun had set and blue hour was upon us, we turned on the headlights for C + S to dance to their favorite song as the last of the light left us.

Running around the city after the sun has gone down and most people are in the comforts of their home is truly unparalleled. And getting to do it with L + H added to the magic of the night! I know these two from Florida and it was such a sweet time getting to catch up with them in New York City where they moved after getting married this past year. During our time together I got to experiment more with film which was exciting, can you guess which photos are film vs digital?!

The two days that I spent with V + D up in the Isle of Skye in Scotland exceeded all of my wildest dreams! Getting to know these two and capture their love was truly such an honor. V is originally from Russia and D from Italy! V lived in the states for sometime, which is where she started her professional wedding photography career! Throughout the years she started doing more destination work which lead to her meeting her now husband while she was photographing a wedding in the UK in 2019! How incredible is that?! Their love story is the kind that novels are written about and they knew from the first moments that they were for each other. V + D faced with my trails during the start of their relationship with being long distant (UK to the US!) and then the pandemic hitting, but they showed everyone that they could (and did!) make it work. When you know you know.

Once again getting to celebrate friends milestones is always a joy! M and I went to high school and college together. It is neat having friends from where I grew up here in Florida (even if for just a short time!). When I found out that C + M were moving down to the Florida panhandle I was ecstatic! As I have gotten to know C, it is obvious how well these two fit together and the love they have for the other.
