On choosing your wedding venue —

Your wedding venue isn’t just a location… it’s the foundation of your entire day. So much time, energy, and thought goes into choosing the perfect spot.

Whether it’s a mountain overlook, a lakeside retreat, a secluded forest, a sunlit meadow, a vineyard, or a rustic ranch, your venue sets the tone and vibe for everything that follows.

It influences the style, the photos, the memories, and the overall experience.

So, as you choose your venue, make sure to consider how it will shape the atmosphere and bring your wedding day vision to life. 💫💫

Photos taken while shooting for ☻

This day was a beautiful slow celebration of their love & vows, captured from start to finish.

We began at their Airbnb, where they got ready and spent time together as a family. From there, we split into two cars and drove to the ceremony location. Kayla dressed in a historic building with stunning views of the Rockies surrounding us, as Andrew waited for their first look. They exchanged gifts—Andrew gave their son a pair of earrings to surprise Kayla with. She wore them to complete her look.

We then moved to the valley where they would exchange their vows. Andrew ran off for a few moments to fish in the nearby river…[can’t pass up a fishing opportunity, ya know? 😅] When it was time, they exchanged their vows as the sun set, their friend officiating and their son there to witness it all.

Afterward, they celebrated with champagne and took in the views before they ending the night with dinner in Aspen.

Just the most beautiful & peaceful day to witness. 🕊️

Consider this your official notice:

TMR is now based in Michigan & ready to start documenting your stories along & within the Great Lakes 🤝

A collection of photos capturing THE sweetest season of life…

Our little guy turned 3 months this weekend… it’s crazy how much he’s changed even since we took these photos. The newborn phase was more joy filled and magical than I ever could have imagined!! So beyond grateful for the time off I’ve had to soak it all up.🤎

This year has been a whirlwind of change—moving across the country, buying and selling a home, being pregnant, starting new jobs, and now embracing motherhood. Ahhh, It’s been A LOT but so good. I took a step back from TMR during all the transitions, but I’m excited to be back and ready to start creating again. 🌎🌿💫🌞

So anyways… we moved to Michigan and a little babe is joining the party this spring 🌸🌼🌷

IT’S SUMMER!!! 🌞

Yesterday was my last day with students which means I have the next couple months off from interpreting & can solely focus my time here.

Today we are kicking it off by documenting & celebrating Chris & Tani’s wedding in the mountains. It’s going to be so goooood.

The best time of year is finally here 👏🏼☀️🌻🌿🦋🌊

There’s just something about a little girl witnessing her mom graduate 🥺😭

Such an amazing mom & role model. So proud of youuuu, Destany 🤎👏🏼🤟🏼

**Here’s your reminder to document life milestones. They matter & you’ll want to remember them*

Documenting life’s ever changing seasons doesn’t have to be complicated!! ✨

This session was short, sweet & SIMPLE. Cozying up in your own home with the people [& animals] you love SHOULD BE short, sweet & simple.

I’m all about documenting your life in it’s raw, plain, everyday ways. There’s so much power in having photos to look back on & remember what’s unfolded.

The season you’re in right now is worth remembering. 🤎

THE MIDDLE

IMO "the middle" is a place we can all relate with one another on. Whether you're in the middle of school, dating, motherhood, engagement, pregnancy, a job, or [ insert current life season ] we are all in some kind of in-between.

In-between who you once were & who you're currently becoming. I like to think we never fully become yet are constantly becoming... ya know?

We often are waiting for the next thing, the next season but what if most of the beauty lies in the middle? The real life that's happening around you, in the middle, right now.

Getting to witness people enter into parenthood and watch their little one "becoming" is one of my favorite things ever... and then to get to document it too 🥺

Happy weekend 🌞

Sending some Denver sunshine your way 🧡

I hope you’ll do something to fill your body, mind & soul this weekend

I’ll do the same 🤟🏼

The Middle Root is officially ONE!!!

We are on our way back from our annual Thanksgiving road trip & it reminded me of last year, during my 7 hours of boredom on I-80, I on a whim decided to start sharing my photography publicly ✌🏼

One whole year of learning, growing and meeting many of you. I’m humbled by the opportunities that have come my way through this little page & biz. So thankful for all of it!!

Feeling inspired & eager to continue onward.

Cheers to seeing how TMR continues to unfold💫💫

Walking into their wedding month like…. 🥂💃🏻

Tell me you like ice cream and we may or may not end up getting some in the middle of our shoot 🙃🍦

I just got back from my own wedding last week (will share more sometime)!!!!

We spent a week in the Caribbean and although I probably could have stayed forever… I’m settled back home again feeling refreshed.

Knocked out a bunch of editing today and feelin’ really grateful for this little biz I got to come home to🧡

Took photos of PJ when she was a newborn, blinked and now she’s ONE!! Howwww!? Happy first birthday, little miss 🥺🤟🏼

P.s. your moms are pretty cool 😎

Grateful to everyone who participated in TMR’s first mini sessions!! Loved seeing and connecting with old friends and family I haven’t seen in ages.

Who knows, maybe we’ll make it an annual thing!?

Madi & Hadi 🫶🏼

Watching your friends become parents is honestly the most fun. She entered motherhood with such grace and somehow makes it seem so effortless??? We love you Hadley 💕

Plz tell me I’ll frolic around the mountains like this with my 4 month old some day 🥺

✨✨I’M COMING TO MICHIGAN!! ✨✨

I’ll be in Manistee, MI NEXT WEEK and I’m setting up some last minute mini sessions!!

The perfect, quick, way to get updated photos to document whatever life season you’re in.
