“WE’RE MARRIED! WOO!”

That was the battle cry of Madison and Robert on their wedding day and Yosemite! But thanks to @briannamadia and her post today, it got me thinking about all different types of battle cries that we make for ourselves.

Some battle cries are of joy and declaration of intent in a happy moment.

Some are of frustration and resolve.

And some are of hope and determination. Just depends on what time of life you’re in right now.

One thing is for sure though for couples getting married, have a battle cry to express your joy, your decision to be married and running face (and heart) first into the adventure that is marriage!

First session back in Washington was amazing! The light was perfect. Renee & Kristen were incredible sweet with each other and had electric chemistry! I adored Renee’s soft blush dress accompanied with her awesome tattoos and infectious smile.
Love is love is love and I am here for it!

Black and white photos from your wedding day...
While I go through a couples photos to create their teaser or gallery, I will decide to turn a photo to black and white. I do this because something in that moment feels like it needs to be focused on. Could be how the lighting was captured, the emotion you’re sharing, the landscape was epic, or even (let’s be honest photographers) to hid something we noticed. But that last reason is very very rare.
There is something timeless, classic, and even more beautiful about a black and white shot. You focus less on colors and more of the soul of the moment. I grew up as a photographer looking to people like my father and Ansel Adams. The latter of which almost never shot in color!
I may just be rambling, but if you see a black and white shot in the cluster of photos I give you, I hope you can also see the beauty in it that I did that made me turn it monochromatic.

“The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.”
-John Muir

Mother’s day will always look different for me. For me personally, I never planned on being a mom to another human. I commend those who have created life! But this year for me, looks even more different. I am one less fur baby this year than I was last year. It makes my heart heavy writing those words. But my heart is also healing and I am able to give even more love to this little guy. He has been my saving grace, my tear licker when I cry, my little spoon on days I don’t feel well, and my sassy little guy when we play.
Happy Mother’s Day to those who made humans, and those who are the human for their fur baby!

Ya know, there is just something about that California light and maternity/couples photos that get my creativity flowing! Think I might start offering and sharing them more often. Who would be interested in that??

Anyone else ready for summer?? My July this year is quite open. But rather than being worried about working myself to death, I’m excited at the thought of having more time for hiking, actual camping with friends, swapping stories and sharing cheers, & going to my favorite spots and getting some sun on these pasty white legs of mine!
Who else is ready?? 🦵🏻☀️🏕
