Kate & Yadder

I've known Kate for over 5 years now, since she was a little baby freshman in high school. I got to help coach her cheer, mentor her in photography, be her boss, be her friend, and overall get to watch her develop into a wonderful young lady. Through all of the years knowing her, and the 40+ hour road trips and work vacations we've been on together, I feel like I've gotten to know her heart and know her personality pretty darn well. This is why, meeting Yadder, just completely made me smile. They just make sense. Yadder is the male version of Kate. They are goofy, fun, love the Lord, love their friends, appreciate art, have stellar style, and have more swag than Jay-Z and Beyonce. They bring out the best in each other, are their complete selves around each other, and truly exude so much joy together.

I loved getting to capture these two! And what better day to share all of my favorites from their shoot than this girls' 20th birthday?! I can't believe you're 20 Katelyn... Welcome to the twenties, I am so excited to continue to watch you grow and see all of the joy and adventure that life brings you this year and years to come. Happy birthday, love you!

Cassie & Drew [and Milo too]

I met Cassie my freshman year of college... actually the first day of orientation... actually we were chatting online even before we knew each other discussing possibly being roomies.  We have so, so many memories - it's crazy to think back to our college years and where we are now! Anyways, when she met Drew a few years ago - I had heard many great things and seen so many cute pictures of them together.... and without meeting him yet, I had a hunch :) They are so good together and balance each other so well, I loved getting to capture a little bit of their love last month when I was up in Seattle :) Hope you enjoy how cute they are!!

Young Love

I have never seen such a young couple more in tune with each other. James and Kaitlyn are not only adorable, but the affection, respect, admiration, and love that they have for each other is so sweet. I knew Kaitlyn before-hand, but it was such a joy to spend time with the both of them and get to know James, too. I can't wait for their wedding one day... I mean, I guess their engagement first ;)
