This guy. 🤍 This guy right here is OFFICIALLY A This guy. 🤍
This guy right here is OFFICIALLY A JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN! 💡
After 4.5 years of hard work, early mornings, long days, overtime, months of classes and more long days of work followed by practice testing, @brendty successfully completed the program and never once complained! Never once even with his 4 a.m. alarms.
I know I would have been complaining had the schedule he has. He is motivated, intelligent and a problem solver. 
I’m so proud of my man and his accomplishments. 🤍
Congratulations Grad! 🥳
Congratulations Mike and Jessica! ✨ M + J creat Congratulations Mike and Jessica! ✨

M + J created a wedding celebration perfectly tailored to their love of the outdoors. . . After all they both work for the Forest Service. The day had the feeling of a mix between a private elopement and an intimate wedding ceremony. Coverage began with a short hike for a vow reading at one of their favorite locations. The view was breathtaking! They frolicked in a meadow, we found little pockets of shade to make photo magic in and they didn’t let the heat deter them. 
After a couple hours of photos we headed to the @belfryevents for their backyard ceremony, followed by family photos, @elsanchobend tacos and a laid-back reception with music from @_skillethead_. ✨

Yesterday’s sweet family. 🩵 Our shoot was or Yesterday’s sweet family. 🩵

Our shoot was originally scheduled for Monday evening but the weather did not corporate with us…. So we postponed to the following day and I am soooo glad we did. What a difference a day makes! ☀️

If you’ve been thinking about booking a family session. Now’s the time. Summer is quickly approaching. ✨
Modoc County or Iceland? The first photo is defi Modoc County or Iceland? 

The first photo is definitely giving off some Iceland vibes. Boy, did we have some adventurous weather for Skylar and Bethany’s wedding. Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of rain and anxiously looked out the window at the gray, dreary morning. But that is the glorious thing about weather…. It can change in a heart beat and by the time Bethany and Skylar had their first look the sun peeked out at just the right time. ✨ And again after on and off rain and wind throughout the day the sun came out at just the right moment and we created some magic at sunset. ✨

Pro tip: always opt in for sunset photos. 

Congrats Skylar and Bethany! 🤍 Thank you for having me document your love story.
