The other day I got to hang with this cute little family at Howard Amon Park in Richland, Washington. This cute family was just so fun shoot…I cannot wait for their wedding day this summer! Look at that sweet little face!! :)

One of my favorite things about shooting in Eastern Washington, is that even in February, I don’t have to cancel sessions due to rain! :) It makes me so happy!!

Snow. lots of snow.

And…lots of fun people when we finally arrived at Washington Family Ranch in Antelope, Oregon. If you know where Antelope is..you get a gold star. I think the population is 50. people. Washington Family Ranch is a blow your mind, amazing Young Life Camp in Eastern Oregon….(check out the waterslides here).

Its a long story, mostly about my husband being an amazing driver…driving us 6+ hours so we could photograph this wedding….and then 5 hours home after the wedding.

But…when you take a peek at these images, you will see that it was all worth it! :)

These two are in love and their friends were totally ridiculous and fun…and it was such a great time.

Here’s a little sneak peek from their super duper snowy wedding day!

When I first met Brenna, this summer, I knew we would be fast friends! She’s fun, smart and gluten free…like me! :) We got to know each other out on the Columbia River…(where she was getting to know Nick, too!)  The day she swam across the river “with the boys” was the day that I decided that she was a great match for my husband’s cousin,  Nick. She fit so well into our family that it was my secret hope that soon, these two would tie the knot!

So…in December, walking along the mighty Columbia River, these two lovebirds got engaged and soon…my hope will come true!!

They are planning on getting married at our incredible church, Life Church 7, here in Richland….and I can’t wait for it!!!  It will be my 2nd Tri Cities wedding…and I’m pretty positive the sun is going to be out that day!

We met Angelika and Ethan in Leavenworth on Ski Hill for their fun, wintery engagement session! I loved shooting in the snow…even though it was a little chilly, it was something different. Ski Hill was the perfect location for a winter session. Lots of different options….snowy lanes, cabins, a ski lift chair, an orchard across the street! LOVED this place!

Angelika and Ethan met at church….and I think she even may have asked him out first! The rest is history! I can’t wait for their wedding this summer!

Here are some of my very favorite images from our Leavenworth Engagement Session!

I was so excited when I found out that I was going to shoot Jordi & Joseph’s Engagement Session here in the Tri Cities. First of all, its my first winter engagement session here in Richland and I LOVE shooting when the sun is out and no leaves are on trees. Secondly…I was super happy when Joseph mentioned that he ***might*** wear his Navy uniform!  My family and I are so thankful for what our service men and women do to protect our country, its my honor to be able to capture that in our images! I also loved that Joseph was giving this session as a surprise gift to his fiance! Pretty fun!

We met up at what usually is the busiest park in Richland, Howard Amon Park, but lucky for us, it was only 35 degrees out, so there was only a few people in sight. I love this park because of all of the established trees, the water, docks…and….the fingernail. (scroll down…you won’t miss it! Its turquoise!)

I love being able to shoot couples in love…these guys made my job so easy!
