Hello to 2017

Anyone still out there? I know, I've neglected this little space for so long. I just wanted to pop in really quickly and put a cap on it, since I'm still quite active online but just not here.

If you want to keep up with whatever I'm doing, you should just follow along on instagram. All of my photo and video work, all of my daily life, all of my personal blog posts, and random hobbies are shared or linked there in some way or another.

I will always be thankful for this little place because it really helped me come to appreciate myself, grow in my own confidence, and appreciate how beautiful an online community of people can be.

And if you want a quick recap of my year, read here. But in short, I got married, graduated from university, and officially moved to Portland.

Crazy crazy life, how you always surprise me in soft, wonderful ways.

We're Engaged!!

This past Saturday, Matt gave me the best birthday present ever. My heart is so full.

Goodbye Fall 2015.

And even more quickly than it started, I've come to the end of my last fall semester as an undergraduate. I'm ending the semester a little worn down. It was a lot tougher to transition back into school this time around than in years previous, and I don't think I ever quite got into the swing of things. But like most things in life, even the weariness of this semester has been a blessing because I learned some new things about myself that can help me turn into a better human.

But it also has been a really, really edifying semester. I may be more lost than I was before, but that's only because so many new paths have opened for me. My whole outlook on life has been changed (I'm hopelessly in love with Agrarian philosophies and hope to continue an independent study) and I'm pretty prepared (I hope) to go into spring semester working on my senior exhibition.

In other random (obvious) news, I redyed my hair. The purple turned into a really pretty color but my roots were getting unruly, so we dyed the top dark brown which, in washing it out, turned the blue a nice gray color. Just out there enough to hopefully hold me over during the break, and then I think it will be back to a normal color for the spring semester. Matt and I are flying home today, and then I'll be back in Oregon to shoot one last wedding to end the year, and then another one to begin 2016. In the meantime, stay turned for an end of the year post. Thank you all for your continued support as I pour out my soul.

now booking 2016 weddings

Hey guys! If you're not following me on other social media, I just wanted to extend to you the fact that I'm now booking weddings for 2016! This year was so fun getting into the door of documenting some really cool people love each other more than anything else in the world, and I would love to be able to continue to do that for you! You can check out my website here for faqs and general pricing, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
