Kim + Devin // Boyce Thompson Arboretum Engagement

Where to begin with this mega-gorgeous duo? I was stoked to photograph these two with Boyce Thompson Arboretum as our stunning backdrop. It fit so beautifully with their classic, clean attire. Kim chose a stunning tulle Anthropologie skirt and Devin looked sharp in his bowtie and suspenders. Come on, who doesn't love that combo?! Every gorgeous detail was given lots of thought. The morning light was super dreamy. Her tulle skirt and that low morning light were a match made in heaven. We wanted a simple vibe for the day; a focus on the beauty of the location and their rad love for one another.  They brought their adorable kiddos along because family is everything and we can't document their love without them. I could have spent all day with this family. We had fun. We laughed, danced to Macklemore, and enjoyed the beautiful morning.

Here is a snippet from a series I am working on with my daughter. Everything about her amazes me. Everyday.

Oh, I love the rainy nights....

“You're growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it's good that there is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance.” - Jim Carroll.

Welcome to the first blog post on my new website! This blog will be a home for both personal stories and client stories. It had been months, literally, since I had been under a rainy sky and I was about to shrivel up like a prune. I crave rain. Finally, there was a change in the air. Change is good. Rain is good. Both excite and energize me, put a little more pep in my step, make me feel alive!  When I saw those first few drops coming down, my husband and I ran outside with our daughter, Sloane. She was in heaven - dancing and splashing around. It was a perfect moment. She loves the rain just as much as her mama does. The storm passed too quickly, but we sure enjoyed it while it lasted.
