Kylen and Charlie met when Kylen was anchoring the news and Charlie was anchoring sports at a TV channel in Lexington, Kentucky. They started off as friends, but a New Year’s kiss sealed their fates as something more. They’ve now moved to California together, where they’re both anchoring sports, and we celebrated their engagement with…
After nearly a decade of long distance, including over a year living apart during a global pandemic, Cynthia and Erik were able to reunite with each other and their families for a beautiful wedding ceremony on the cliffs of Big Sur, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The skies were fogged over, blanketing everyone in the celebration…

We concluded our road trip to Southern California with a workweek spent in Venice. It’s usually overrun with tourists and beachgoers, but Venice without the crowds was actually quite charming, not least because we stayed in an amazing converted garage airbnb, which made for a perfect lush jungle working retreat. Breakfast from Gjiusta, the bakery…
What a treat to be able to visit Joshua Tree via road trip. We visited on a girls’ trip a couple years ago, and we even had a whole portrait session in the desert. This time was a bit different, thanks to the pandemic, with Courtney and Jackson in town for work and Cassie and…
