Posing is something I’ve never felt like I’m particularly great at. For a long time, I’d watch other photographers effortlessly guide people into the perfect angles and think, how do they do that?

But recently, someone told me, “You’re really good at giving direction.” And something about that clicked.

Oh… it’s direction I’m good at.

If you’re here then you’re probably either planning on booking a session, or wondering how to even prepare for your session. Whether you’re doing a family session, a engagement session, or a boudoir session, getting ready for your photoshoot can feel a bit overwhelming….

Why is this important? Lets begin here, Why am i writing this? Well because neurodivergence is something that is really important to me. As someone who is neurodivergent myself sometimes i see that people will often avoid weddings, or not stay the whole time, etc because maybe they feel they’re to much. What do I mean by too much? well I mean like the sounds are too loud, theres lots of people, or to many.

Okay, why am I writing this? Because I’m passionate…like, really really passionate….about being an ADHD photographer, living life as a neurodivergent creative, and connecting with others who are in this same, beautifully chaotic boat. Don’t forget I’m a therapist too :) Oh you didnt know that! Well…go follow my instagram and tiktok to keep up with all things mental health and photography! (OH did i just get distracted…YUPPPP)

This collaboration was more than just a branding session—it was a beautiful intersection of friendship, creativity, and mutual respect. I’m so proud of the images we created together, and even more honored to witness Anna’s incredible work from both sides: as a bride and as her photographer.

Zyseer found me on google, while searching for graduation photographers. And I am so glad she did. She expressed that she really wanted something that was different and unique. She told me her story about being the first in her family to graduate college, and how she is ALSO FROM WASHINGTON. We bonded over our social work careers and our hometowns in washington state.

Many people don’t realize, how hot Washington state can get. But man, did we find out. But In a sun-drenched hiding spot adorned with delicate wildflowers and a soft carpet of grrass. A & B gracefully stepped into their enchanting outdoor session. They asked for a shoot to express a Faery style love. Dressed in less than flowing garments (Including Annie’s wedding dress) that danced with each gentle breeze, they twirled and laughed with pure love for one another. Their infectious joy echoed through the serene woodland.

Just a few ideas on what to get someone for christmas who may or may not be a wedding photographer! These are from my own amazon order list this year and hope it helps someone find the perfect gift.

Capturing love as a wedding photographer is my favorite! Each wedding presents a unique story, filled with genuine moments and emotions that unfold naturally throughout the relationship I create with the couples. From the loving glances shared between the couple all day, to the joyous laughter of family and friends, every frame tells a narrative of deep connection and celebration. It is a privilege to capture these romantic and loving moments, to encapsulate the love that will be cherished for years to come. And Sierra and Belle’s camp weekend was an extra special event to capture for me.
