Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Katrina & Mike are so freakin’ cool. They came to Glacier National Park to elope but really wanted to spend their day adventuring and see and experience as much of the park as they could. They seriously covered so much area that day and the photos at each place are incredible.  By the time we […]

OH. MY. GOD. What the what!?!?! Lindsey & Jason are a dream couple to have had. Honestly sometimes I think every time I’ve photographed them was a dream. It’s too good to be true.
