This Session Right Here Was So Much Fun. Originally We Were Nervous About The Weather Report, The Rain Was Coming In But There Was A Break In The Storm So Chrysten And Philip Wanted To Go For It! And Oh I’m So Glad They Did. Their Black Outfits On Black Clouds And Black Smoke Bombs Made For So Much Moody Drama! I Still Have Chills.
tips On Smoke Bombs:
- You Want Zero Wind. We Had A Light Breeze (maybe More Than A Breeze, Hence The Storm Clouds) So You Might Be Able To See The Smoke Moved Away Quicker Than We Would Have Liked. But Hey – It’s Mother Nature. Still, We Achieved The Effect We Wanted And The Intense Clouds Made Up For It.
- They Get Hot. But Not Too Hot To Hold, Just Keep Your Hand Close To The Base Once You Crack It Open From The Top.
- Clothes Can Stain. They Avoided Any Issues Wearing Black On Black, But It’s Good To Keep In Mind If You’re Thinking Of Wearing White Or Lighter Colors.
- They Go Quickly. You Have About 60-90 Seconds With The Smoke Bomb So Make Sure You Have Some Good Moving Poses And Roll With It.
- Get A Permit Or Let Your Park Ranger Know. These Babies Attract A Lot Of Attention, No Matter What Color They Are. People Will Watch, Be Curious Or Nervous – So Be Prepared And Courteous.
- Have 3-4. You Don’t Have To Use Them All But At Least You Have A Backup If You Need A Do-over.
- Shutter Speed. Keep Her High! Your Speed Needs To Be Anywhere From 1/800 – 1/2500 To Catch All The Swirling Goodness.
- Use The Bombs At The End Of The Shoot. This Is For A Few Reasons. One You Will Feel Most Confident And In The Groove By The End Of The Session. Two, If It Gets On Your Clothes, It No Biggie Because You Already Got Tons Of Gorgeous Photos By Having The Bombs Last In Your Session!

when I Met Courtney And Matt, We Bonded Over Our Love For Supporting Local And Exploring The Outdoors. So It Was No Surprise When Courtney Told Me They Wanted Their Engagement Session To Be Something They Normally Do For A Date Night. Ride Bikes To The Park And Share A Couple Of Local Sierra Nevada Brews! I Mean… An Engagement Session With Bikes?! Yes Please! I Absolutely Love How Fun These Turned Out!!

photog Tip: When You Are Planning Your Engagement Session, Don’t Be Afraid To Give It A Theme. Especially If It’s Meaningful To You. It Makes Your Session Extra Fun Because You’re In Your Element.

Butte Meadows Is A 40-45 Minute Drive From Chico And So Worth The Road Trip. There Is No Service When You Get Past Forest Ranch So I Met Casey + Jordon At The Outpost Bar & Grill. From There We Carpooled To A Few Of My Favorite Spots Up There! The Old Snowy Backroads Wind Through The Forest And Look Extra Dreamy At Sunset.
casey & Jordan Are Such Good People! They Are Best Friends, So Fun To Be Around, And Down To Adventure! Plus They Are Huge Dog Loves, We All Got Along, Real Well!! Their Dachshunds Were So So Cute. We Had To Rough It To Get To A Few Good Spots And They Were Such Champs. I Can’t Wait For Their November Wedding! Thanks For Checking These Out!

Jacob And Serena Are Seriously — Freakin’ Hilarious And Gorgeous Together. I Was Basically Cry-laughing Behind The Camera The Whole Time. They Both Have Quick-dry Humor, Are Incredibly Playful And Are So Smitten With Each Other (as If You Can’t Tell By The Photos!!!) Some Serious #couplesgoals Are Going On Here. Like A Western Horse, Rancher Babe Meets Hunky Mechanic – Welder. Picture Perfect – For Real!
the Vision For This Engagement Session Was 70’s Drive-in With A Romantic & Vintage Feel. Jacob Is A Car Enthusiast With Love For His Fiancé Serena & His 1972 Nissan Datsun. Serena Runs A Horse Ranch Called Rock’n’oak Ranch. The Property Has Old Backroads That Lead To The Historic Hotel, Richardson Springs. This Grand Hotel Has Art-deco Embellishments Throughout. It Was Once An Exclusive Resort Where Movie Stars Roamed, Children Swam And Hikers Picked Wildflowers. This Was The Perfect Location For These Kickback Adventures. I’m Just Loving The Raw Emotion And Pure Joy In These Photos. It Makes Me So Grateful That Photographing Couples Is My Job. Ah, Pinch Me!!!
