Now that Kayla & Truth have moved back to their home state of Washington, Truth has joined the business full time as Kayla's videographer.

Not only has her wedding career grown, but her educational career as well now having taught over 100+ students since 2020 with her leading online workshop, Full Throttle, and her in-person workshop experience at Fearless the Workshop.

I've loved weddings from the moment I held my camera. But it wasn't until I clenched the newborn child I so desperately dreamt of for 9 months that I felt true connection to my couples. How does holding your first born child connect to your wedding you ask? I don't show up to your wedding and see the surface level photos anymore. Ya know, the ones of the decor or that blow up on social media...no, I see the Mother of the Groom holding back her tears - she realizes that time has flashed before her and her once newborn child whose eyes sparkled golden with wonder are now releasing tears watching his future forever person walk down the aisle. And there I am -- front row next to mom, capturing every moment before me with passion knowing damn well this will be me one day. One day I'll watch my son marry the love of this life, and devote his heart and soul to a life partner. If there's anything you should take away from this, it's that I'm always seeking connection, and honest photographs for you to be able to re-live your day for the rest of your days. The moments unnoticed, the candid raw emotion, matched with the same joyful Photos you'll be excited to print, frame and look at every day giving you same emotions when looking at them. With me as your photographer -- we'll laugh, sing, dance, skip, drink tequila & have the best damn time of our lives.
