Together, let’s create something meaningful

I know its not normal of me to post this late at night, but Im breaking all the rules tonight because I cant wait any longer to share the real life magic that happened last week at #marcellalainewrkshp

Its the way these two look at each other, it does

Its the way these two look at each other, it does things to my heart... These Sunday evening edits from #marcellalainewrkshp 's workshop last week are fueling my passion for this upcoming season. I cant believe how lucky I am that the most amazing couples in the world FIND me then TRUST me to capture their most meaningful moments, celebrations, and milestones. What an honor it is to live this life... truly the best job in the world.

This sweet family drove two hours from their home to meet me in these rainbow colored mountains... who says family sessions can't be adventurous too?

Wow, what a wild couple of weeks its been. Started

Wow, what a wild couple of weeks its been. Started a busy two weeks of travel with these two wandering the desert and finding refuge in the coolness of these quiet little slot canyons. It had been a solid 6 months since I've been on a plane - or experienced real sun for that matter - and I didn't realize how much I needed this time away. Not only to find inspiration amongst new terrain, but really to make new connections with some incredible humans. B + C were kind enough to navigate us to one of the coolest landscapes I've ever seen, and we laughed and drank good white wine as they showed me these roads (to the middle of nowhere) that they had spent years creating memories on. Starting out my busy season with these two was such a beautiful reminder of what can happen when you put trust in the roads to the unknown.

Just realizing this morning thats its been a solid

Just realizing this morning thats its been a solid minute since I've posted anything on here 🤭 Whoops Well, its all with good reason! There are soo many changes coming soon, in both my personal life and my business, and I've just been chugging along back here trying to my head on straight. So today, I bring you back to this shoot from two summers ago. My first workshop before I ever began "taking clients" or calling myself a photographer. Back when photography was just a hobby, and entrepreneurship was a fantasy. This photo seems worlds old - not because it actually was (this was only back form August 2019) but because I was a totally different person back then. I've grown so much and learned so much about myself and my craft in that time, and have grown this tiny little business - my baby - from the ground up. As I look at this photo this morning, I am honestly so damn proud of myself for all the risks I've taken since then and all the hoops I've jumped through to get to where I am right NOW, and also where I'm about to be. I am nearly bursting at the seams with all the announcements I have for you all in the next couple months and how my business and life is about to completely transform.🙌 Photo taken at @sambufalo 's Cedar Lakes Retreat.

What To Wear On Your Elopement Day. Okay, so this

What To Wear On Your Elopement Day. Okay, so this one might seem strange or unnecessary... an elopement is just a type of wedding, so you just wear what you would to any other wedding right? Well, no necessarily... Elopements come in all shapes and colors, and because they offer an opportunity to do things so differently- say, spending your elopement morning hiking to a canyon in lieu of mimosas and makeup with friends - there are some factors couples should consider before buying any old gown or suit. In this IGTV episode, I talk all about these different factors to consider when shopping for your elopement attire.
