Lost in France // Beautiful Boudoir

Lost in France was an aaaaabsolute dream!  I spent 3 days at a villa in Vence, France with a group of aaaaamazing photographers, stylist, designers, and all around awesome people.  I've never been so happy to wake up at 5am for a sunrise photo shoot, run around a charming village taking photos, shoot a styled bridal session, and then settle down with a beautiful sunset boudoir photo shoot.

Beautiful Boudoir sessions are becoming some of my favorite types of photo shoots to photograph lately!  They're perfect for a surprise gift for your fiance and they make an incredible fun experience for you to remember and be proud of your beautiful self!  I was so excited to join the Lost in France workshop to work on some styling and technique.  Thank you to everyone who created this beautiful dream. Check out and the beauty below!

A Year (and a quarter) in Review!

(This is by far my longest photo post ever!!!)

The last year has been soooo good to me. And it really feels good to say that I've been living in Stavanger, Norway for over a year and I never dreamed that I would have met the beautiful people, awesome vendors, and amazing clients that I have in 2013.  I was lucky to travel around the world to photograph peoples lives and couples on their wedding day!  I feel so honored and absolutely LOVE getting to peek into the lives of so many international families. It's truly special and I want to thank EVERYONE for all your support and allowing me do what I love to do.
