Winter is such an underrated time to get photos! It’s honestly one of my FAVORITE times to take photos, even if it is freezing cold most of the time! There’s just something super magical about the snow, especially when it’s freshly fallen.

What to Wear for Your Winter Photoshoot

Winter is such a beautiful time to take photos and often underrated. Maybe because it’s so cold and dark, but I think the snow adds such a fun element to photos. I love how it covers the trees and the look of the snowflakes falling from the sky. A lot of people have a hard time figuring out what to wear for their winter photoshoot, so I’m here to help!

Park City Engagement Session [Utah Engagement Photographer]

Sydney and Erik got engaged this spring after dating for about a year! They met on a dating app and are such a fun couple! Sydney is also a videographer (you can check out her work HERE) and we met while shooting a wedding together! Erik and I went to high school together but were a year apart and didn’t know each other. So it is SO fun seeing them together! Sydney has been teaching Erik how to do videography so he can be her wingman and they’re both so talented.

Cape Kiwanda, Oregon Coast Engagements [Oregon Elopement Photographer]

Madison & Jake recently moved to Portland, Oregon from Texas. They have been trying to get to know their new state and so we did a couples shoot at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, Oregon. It’s one of my favorite places on the Oregon coast. There’s a ton of stuff do just on the beach. Lots of people will do fires with hot dogs and s’mores on the beach while watching surfers in the water.
