I have known Mandy for years. She and my sister have been friends since grade school. I got to watch as the older sister while they grew up together having countless sleepovers, choreographing dances to Britney Spears songs, and weekend camping trips to Sunnyside. It’s always a blessing to see the people you appreciate in life find love and get married. It’s even a bigger blessing when you get to be apart of documenting their day. I was honored to photograph this wedding and be a fly on the wall (with a camera) to capture this life changing day for Mandy, her new husband Jerry, and their families. Thank you both for asking me to capture this day for you. Here’s a small recap!
Happy 4th of July. May your day be filled with family, friends, food, and fireworks. I hope you eat more watermelon than you should and that your cups are full of refreshing lemonade. Today is about celebrating our independence, so let’s remember those who serve our country so we can live in freedom.
God bless!

Today I headed to the Oregon Coast to celebrate my sister-in-law’s 17th birthday. Mckenzie left this world November of last year. This is the first birthday we celebrated without her here. Two of her best friends came with me. I, of course, had to get photos of them together as we remembered our dear sweet Mckenzie. These two ladies are beautiful people and I can’t imagine a better way to spend this special day.
10 things that I LOVE about this girl…
1. Her heart
2. Her great fashion sense
3. Her self awareness
4. Her ability to rock the lens
5. Her inner beauty
6. Her quiet confidence
7. Her pleeted skirt
8. Her smarts
9. That hair…need I say more?
10. Her smile!!!
This group of ladies was crazy fun! Their energy was off the charts and I absolutely loved the 30 minutes I got to spend with them before they headed to their school prom. Thanks Bree for setting this up! You’re a doll.
