There has been a whole lot going on behind the scenes lately as I've been in that lovely little lull between the first and second half of wedding season! And of the mile-long list of to-dos I had for during this time, over on the blog this morning - I'm talking about THE biggest one I crossed off that list! GUYS!! I am sooooooo stinkin' excited to finally unveil The Wedding Experience! A 70-page guide exclusively for my new #elpbrides! AHHH!!

••• Read all the details over on the blog!

Road trippin to Colorado, visiting friends, seeing family, making memories, watching my sis in law get married (as a bridesmaid for the first time ever!) its all on the horizon my friends!! Just gotta get past eclipse day! Definitely don't wanna be sitting in the epic traffic jam that's sure to cause! There's probably going to be an overload of Instagram stories, so get RADY!! ⛰

When I was a high school senior (many, many) moons ago, we didn't have senior photos like this. We didn't DO shoots like this. My senior photos are absolutely positively horrendous. Through poor communication and planning skills by those in charge of setting up our shoots, I showed up in frumpy jeans and a tank top. Carrying my cap and gown, and my red+black tassel, because that was what I was led to believe was the one and only shot that was being taken. Oh curses. So there I stood inside a cleared out classroom, on a huge sheet of white paper, with light stands all around and big foam letters spelling out "S-E-N-I-O-R". More curses. Had I known better what to expect, I would've worn a cuter outfit. I would've brought a second outfit. I would have done my hair for crying out loud.
.
Senior photos have come a lonnnng way since then, and I couldn't be happier about that. Doing senior sessions as a photographer is the ultimate - this is SO much fun for me, and I promiseeeee I prepare my senior girls in advance! I get to show all their sides, the sweet, the playful, the sassy, the serious. Giving these girls images they deserve as they close one mega chapter of their lives and are on the brink of opening one even bigger!
.
And speaking of awesome senior sessions - guys + gals, meet Emma!! She's a KC high school track star with brown eyes that will surely stop traffic.

Both Lorraine and Travis did a great job of keeping nerves at bay, and excitement at the forefront all morning long. When the time came for the ceremony to begin, the nervousness might have popped up....But then they saw each other - from across a church aisle, Lorraine on the arm of her sweet Dad, and Travis standing up front at that immaculate altar, beaming from ear to ear.

This gorgeous July wedding hit the blog just now y'all, and oh my it's such a good one!

Samantha had secretly hoped and dreamed she might find herself happily in love with a high school sweetheart. Though at the time she put that wish out into the universe, she had no idea it would actually happen, or who Brenton even was. When Samantha's middle school had track practice with the nearby high school...she finally laid eyes on Brenton, and knew then and there she just might be crazy about him.
.
How did they go from passing glances on a track field to where they are now? Find out over on the blog this morning! And see their gorgeous images that I am beyond obsessed with!! 😍🌿🌼🌱🌸

Beads. Lots of beads. Good beads.
