Still floating from last night… ✨
I was up for two categories in the Oregon Wedding Day Best of 2025 Awards—Best Photography (Outside Portland) and Best Bo***ir Photography—and I’m so humbled and thrilled to share that I took home the win for Best Photography! 🥹💛
To all the couples who voted, thank you for your trust. To friends and family (who may or may not have voted—wink wink), thank you for always rooting for me. And to my fellow industry peers who had the final say—what an incredible honor to be recognized by those I deeply admire. Every finalist was beyond deserving, so to be chosen among them is something I’ll never take lightly.
As if that wasn’t enough, last night also marked the launch of the fall/winter issue of Oregon Wedding Day magazine—and I had the honor of photographing the cover feature! Seeing the printed issue for the first time and knowing the editorial team trusted me with that vision… it was surreal. A total “look mom, I made it” moment (and yes, she was the first person I called this morning 🥹).
The theme of the night was The Sky is the Limit—and honestly? That’s exactly how I felt. Like I’m just getting started. Like I’m standing on the edge of something bigger, with a full heart and my eyes on the stars. ⭐️
To my sister—my silent rock, my biggest cheerleader, and the one who makes it possible for me to show up for both my kids and my career: I love you endlessly.
To my husband—who somehow works a 9-5, runs a business, and still holds down our world so I can live this dream: thank you for being my everything.
I’ve never been one to toot my own horn… but last night? Last night was mine. 💫
