Moody clouds with the sun trying to slice through is some of my favorite weather ever. Don’t believe me?

Then take a look at these stunners of Bri & TJ from the morning after the rain storm here in western WA!

They are from Wisconsin so the 35° on top of the mountains were practically balmy for them!

But it didn’t matter all to them that it was cold, Bri was all smiles and giggles!

Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years!

Let’s talk about Sepia. If you’re unfamiliar with what that is it’s a brownish hue to photos that represent photos taken back in the olden days when film was king and people had to stand still forever, or it’s the “antique” look.

It was hugely popular in the 90’s, almost too much. And had a small surge in the early 2000’s when I was starting my photography journey.

But I’ll be honest, It wasn’t my favorite look and I knew some older photographers who only did sepia tone, and were not kind to me when I was starting out. So for sure had a bad taste in my mouth about the look.

But in the last few weeks something in my mind has changed. Maybe it’s wanting to mix things up a bit. Maybe I somehow knew that it would make a resurgence someday and wanted to be ahead of the curve for once. Whatever it may be, I am here for it!

I’ll still do black and whites, but sometimes, that soft brownish hue is makes a photo seem just so dreamy!

Let’s talk a little bit about Vow Renewals…

People have been doing them for decades, but at the time it was more for when you hit 20+ years and it was very much a baby boomers thing. Well things have changed!

I myself have done a vow renewal when I hit 10 years, I have been with friends who wanted to do it at 3 years because they were constantly separated due to the military. And for Brea & Jonathan they went for their 7th anniversary!

There is no rhyme or reason to when a couple does it, and there is no rules as to when you can or cannot do it. It’s when it’s most meaningful for you as a couple!

Maybe you made it through infertility, maybe you’re also a military family and can now be together all the time. Maybe you were on the brink of divorce but decided to stay together instead and your love for one another has been renewed! Or just maybe you have made it past 15, 20, or even 50 years together and just want to remember those sacred bonds you’ve made to one another.

Whatever the reason is for you two deciding to renew your vows, I am here for it and for you!

Let’s get real for a minute..

I was inspired by my friend @leeshakingphoto to open up about life lately so here it is..

I have been immensely blessed financially this year by my business and all the hard work Jesse and I have been putting into making sure we are successful during Covid.

With that hard work, and lots of praying, we have been able to pay off almost $40,000 worth of debt in the last few months! Even just writing that makes me choked and want to cry happy tears. It’s been a decade in the making to get to this level of financial freedom and we’re almost there! I can’t wait to get to the next stage..saving up to put roots back down!

But of course that does come with some stress because I am working more than I ever have and trying to keep everything in order is very demanding on my very tired brain. Seriously, if it wasn’t for @jessebbutler I would be so disorganized!

I am trying my hardest to keep to my deadlines and to keep my clients happy, and I do appreciate all the grace y’all have given me!

Even with the blessings of finances, my personal life has been the hardest. 2021 has been the biggest bully to me. Between two unexpected deaths of loved ones (not Covid related) and letting go of relationships that I’ve had forever due to toxic behavior, I am shocked I haven’t cried everyday.

Holding tightly onto friendships I have made this year and growing others has kept me going. I know so many of us only know each other via social media, and a few that have finally met in person, but it has been something I look forward to every day chatting with y’all. It’s the main reason I keep coming back on this weird app.

But today I am taking off for myself and my little family. Relaxing in the van by the beach mid-day on a Thursday and remembering why I love my job so much that allows me this freedom. Thank you all for trusting me with your memories and hard earned money!❤️

When you get to shoot a beautiful, sweet & happy couple at one of your favorite places ever, it makes the whole experience better!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love and always will love the Olympic mountains. It’s always going to be home. But just something about the Cascades that make me swoon so hard!

Maybe it’s the jagged peaks. Maybe it’s the fact that I always get to hang out with couples who are in love while I’m there so it’s always a happy memory. Or could always be the family history those hills hold that make so happy to be there.

Whatever it might be, I want to be there more and more and more for the rest of my life, however long that may be for.

But until I can go back to the Cascades, I’ll be content sharing beautiful photos of them.

I know long captions are good for me to have to “beat the algorithm” but I am just at a loss for words. I just love this photo, I’m going to let it speak for itself!
