Lauren and her family moved to the area last year. She popped up on instagram and I fell in love with her work, so I reached out to welcome her to the area. Since we’re both moms, photographers and make little time for ourselves, we decided to meet up and get pedicures – the […]

Since a few images from Morgan and Zach’s  wedding was recently featured in the Edible Reno-Tahoe Magazine Wedding Guide, it’s the perfect way to dust off this blog and start revealing some of the stories from this past wedding season.
