Family sessions that feel like just a regular day together are my favorite 🫶🏼 This sweet fam loves spending time together hiking and playing, so that’s exactly what we did! If you’re looking for a sign to make your family session into an experience you’ll all cherish and enjoy, this is it 🖤

First 2025 elopement tomorrow let’s gooooooo 🎉

Haven’t shown my face on here for awhile so this is who I am if you haven’t seen me before 😂 If you’re looking for a photographer that will hype you up, say “perfect” 171930 times during the session, and be just as excited about your pictures as your are (seriously I’m tempted to have a whole gallery wall in my room of pics that are from your shoots lololol) then I’m your girl 💁🏼‍♀️ let’s work together this year!

Also referrals are the biggest way that I’ve grown my business over the years! If you’ve worked with me (or even if you haven’t but you like my work or like me as a person lol) I would be honored for you to refer me to the people in your life who need a photographer! While I mostly take on couples, elopement, and weddings I also work with families, seniors, branding shoots, and boudoir 💕 My website is getting a makeover right now, but hoping that it looks a lot better within the next week or two lol

When the wedding party is fully on board for all of your plans to make them run around in the hot sun 😅🤌🏼

While the vast majority of you were pro first-look, there are still reasons to wait until that moment down the aisle!

-More heightened emotions for the aisle moment
-Sharing the first time you see your partner with all of your loved ones
-Wanting your day to be truly documentary without any moments set up by your vendor team

But the most common reason I see couples opt out of a first look? Budget! While having a first look usually makes it so we can take 90% of formal photos before the ceremony (leaving you with more time to visit and relax post-ceremony) I’ve had couples skip that and have us show up right before the ceremony so they can fit the important moments into fewer hours of coverage! Not everyone has the want for social hour candids, so it might be beneficial for you and your partner to have your dream photographer for 3 or 4 hours versus settling on a less expensive photographer for 8 to 10 hours!

There are LOTS of reasons to do a first look! Here are a few of the examples you all gave:

-Being able to share that emotional moment in private
-Getting to spend your social hour with your guests versus trying to take all your pictures during that time
-Spending more of the day together
-Utilizing more daylight since you can take group photos before the ceremony, especially for the winter months

While the decision to do a first look or wait until the aisle to see each other is completely up to you two as a couple, it isn’t a bad idea to consider the benefits of a first look and benefits of waiting and chat with your photographer about it! I’ll be sharing examples of the couples who waited to see each other at the ceremony tomorrow, so stay tuned 😘
