Janessa & Marcus | Sand Dunes Session | Boise, Idaho
Before moving to Idaho in my teens, I had some common misconceptions that there was nothing there besides potatoes. Turns out - like the majority of America - I was wrong. The Gem State is full of beauty, boasting various terrains and is filled some of the kindest people you'll ever meet. Now being on the East Coast, I often miss big sky country, dry, hot summers, the drive-in movie theater, baking pies from freshly picked fruit, and the dear souls that are my friends.
Before moving to Idaho in my teens, I had some common misconceptions that there was nothing there besides potatoes. Turns out - like the majority of America - I was wrong. The Gem State is full of beauty, boasting diverse terrains and it's filled with some of the kindest pie-baking and salsa-making people you'll ever meet. Now being on the East Coast, I often miss big sky country, dry, hot summers, the nostalgia of the drive-in movie theater, baking pies from freshly picked fruit, and the dear souls that are my friends. There really isn't a place like it and I never thought this Tampa Bay girl could love another state so much.
This Pacific North West state contains the best spots from the Treasure Valley to Moscow. Whether you're looking for snowcapped mountains and waterfalls, endless miles of plain desert, or heading up North to lake Coeur d'Alene's shore and thick forest line, Idaho has it. Not to mention the culture in Boise is giving Portland a run for its money.
So during a quick trip to Idaho this Summer for a wedding, I knew I wanted to do a shoot in the Bruneau Sand Dunes with Marcus & Janessa because their love and friendship is so comfortable. Also, sand dunes. I'm incredibly grateful that they indulged my vision and let me capture some amazing moments. The results are absolutely stunning and this will forever be one of my favorites.
Schwenk Family | Bethany Beach, Delaware
For most of my life, my beach world was the gulf coast of Tampa Bay. Specifically – Anna Maria Island in all of it’s glory. The past two years, I’ve been introduced to a new shore – one that’s become a sweet place of September relaxation with one of my favorite families, the Schwenks.

While there’s a lot of things I love about family vacation – I mean you had me at beach – I love that it feels natural with family. When you have a bunch of people who enjoy each other, the sun, the ocean, and relaxing; memories are born. We took a morning and braved the wind for family photos and I absolutely love how they turned out.
Using film has made us more intentional with our work and allowed us to slow down to ensure we’re capturing the moments and emotions we want to frame forever. A huge shout out to Lynn for letting us get on the other side of the lens during this Bethany Beach session so we could be part of the family.

Market People | Lynchburg Community Market | Installment 2
Summer came back for a quick encore this week and I'm not complaining since the sun doubles as my source of energy and my love language. It also means more Saturday mornings at the market donning cutoffs and tank tops before trading them out for scarves and sweaters.
Summer came back for a quick encore this week and I'm not complaining since the sun doubles as my source of energy and my love language. It also means more Saturday mornings at the market donning cutoffs and tank tops before trading them out for scarves and sweaters. Personal work has gained a much stronger voice in our lives the past couple months because we don't want to forget the moments that mean so much to us as we reminisce over the year. Making sure we're documenting what we're passionate about ensures that we keep emotion in all of our work.
