PRO TIP: when you export photos to post on Instagr

PRO TIP: when you export photos to post on Instagram “someday,” sort them into a folder in your phone library. 📷📂
That way you, too, can be scrolling through the “Insta” album and run across a dreamy shot from years ago - one that’s already re-sized and optimized for Instagram - and upload it in a snap because inspiration hit. ✌🏼
•
I often keep some of my favorite images from my weddings/sessions on my phone so I can share them, but they get lost *so* easily in the black hole that is my phone pictures. 😂
•
Here’s my simplified routine:
1 » label faves in Lightroom and export with social media settings (can post more on this later).
2 » airdrop from my Mac to my iPhone.
3 » immediately sort into the “Insta” album.
4 » delete from the album/phone once I’ve shared.
5 » every time I make a new photo-dump, purge the Insta album of images I no longer want to post — some of the best hang on for a LONG time (like this image from April 2018!).

After FIVE YEARS of professional photography, I finally gave in and shot a maternity session!! ✌🏼😂
•
I did engagement photos for Vina + Michael before they eloped (hello, summer of 2020), and this spring they’re expecting their first!! Their little baby boy is already so loved and special, and surrounded by a great community of people ready to love him. Can’t wait to share more from their session of three!!

“LOVE ISN’T PERFECT » It isn’t a fairytale

“LOVE ISN’T PERFECT » It isn’t a fairytale or a storybook, and it doesn’t always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on, and never letting go. It is a short word; easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without. Love is work. But most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, every second of it was worth it, because.... we did it together.” ✨

ONE DAY » you’ll look back and be SO happy that

ONE DAY » you’ll look back and be SO happy that you chose to wait on the Lord instead. ✨
»
Sometimes the “no” or the “maybe” is incredibly difficult in the moment, but it’s always worth it to follow His heart instead of yours.
»
“Therefore the LORD will wait,
that He may be gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted,
that He may have mercy on you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
Blessed are all those who wait for Him.”
‭‭[ISAIAH‬ ‭30:18‬]

People like me don’t NEED April Fool’s Day... I basically prank myself all. the. time. 🤦🏻‍♀️😬
•
☕️ TODAY: I picked up the kettle and poured cold water all over the coffee grounds in my chemex (if you’ve never made coffee in a chemex... it’s supposed to be HOT).
•
🚙 YESTERDAY: I walked left instead of right out of the mechanic shop... and through the window, everyone could see me hunting aimlessly for my car before realizing it was right behind me.
•
👉🏼 THE DAY BEFORE: honestly I can’t remember, but I’m sure I did *something* that proves I’m not quite able to handle life properly.
•
Please share your silly stories so I know I’m not alone in this struggle to be put-together!! 👇🏼

I call the PNW home now, but did you know I was raised in a military family? I spent many years moving around, but lots of time in the SoCal area. So every time I come back, it feels like coming home (at least to my elementary-school self!), and I’m proud every time I *don’t* need Google maps to get around!!
