It’s Earth day!!! Let’s take a second to appreciate all the beauty around us...and the stuff that’s not, like Proteas. Did you know they’re from South Africa?! Fun fact for the day. 😉 Florist: Morris Floral and Gift #mistycphotography #mistycbrides #pnwedding #509bride #huffpostido #loveintentionally #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #shootandshare #showiteer #stylemepretty #pnwroamers #chasinglight #letselope #bridesmag #applebrides #buzzfeedwedding #passgallery
It’s Saturdaaaaaayyyy! I get to spoil one of my sisters-in-law at her baby shower today and spend some time away from Raylee. I love her, but i think it’s important that we get alone time every once in a while. We drive each other crazy, and it’s good for both of us. Jackson will be my wing man today, but only because he doesn’t talk back. 😂 #mistycringshots #mistycphotography #mistycbrides #pnwedding #509bride #huffpostido #loveintentionally #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #shootandshare #showiteer #stylemepretty #pnwroamers #chasinglight #letselope #bridesmag #applebrides #buzzfeedwedding #passgallery
Pulling things out of the archives today!! Yesterday I started thinking about why I really do what I do, and why I love it so much. I started thinking about my wedding, and what photos I cherish the most. I love the photos of me and Justin (even if they are on a slant most of the time 😂🤦🏼♀️) and probably my favorite photos are the ones with my family- specifically my dad. Last fall, when Justin’s mom passed away, it was overwhelming to go through all the photos of her, but really, I’m grateful that she had taken so many through the years. My grandma turns 97 tomorrow, and the photos we have of her are just as important!! I’m honored that every single bride and groom trusts me to document those precious moments. You never know when someone will be gone too soon, and the only thing that’s left is those memories. What’s one of your favorite photos you have? #mistycphotography #mistycbrides #pnwedding #huffpostido #loveintentionally #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #509bride #shootandshare #showiteer #stylemepretty #pnwroamers #chasinglight #letselope #bridesmag #applebrides #buzzfeedwedding #passgallery
I can wait to head back to this gorgeous venue in July!! I think I’m just excited to get back into weddings already. My first for the season is just a short 4 weeks away and then I gave myself about a month break to be with Jackson more. Then about another 4 weeks, things start to get kind of crazy, and I’m SO ready for it!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 What are you looking forward to the most this year?! @missstellayork #fontaineestateswinery #mistycphotography #mistycweddings #missstellayork #stellayorkbride #winerywedding #showiteer #shootandshare #risingtidesociety

Life with kids is a lot like this picture.... when everything is going great, they take a digger, and you just want to jump out of the picture but you’re not fast enough and you end up looking like you’re sasquatchin’. 😂😂😂 love these girls! 😂😍😂🙈 #mistycphotography #clickinmoms #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #showiteer #shootandshare #passgallery
I never take family photos for people. Mostly because it was never something I was ever very good at. Once I had my own kids, my patience level dropped for kiddos, and I had a few too many crazy moms out there expecting the world from me and I got burned out from it all. I also acquired a CRAZY anxiety thing with family sessions from all those bad experiences. Because of that, I always refer my family session inquiries to other amaaazing photographers in my area that LOVE family sessions and that are SO much better than I in that realm. And you know what?! That’s ok! It’s ok to have areas that you’re not as good at others. It’s ok to have areas that you struggle with. It’s ok to admit defeat. I choose to focus my efforts on couples and people that are engaged because that’s what I love, and that’s what fuels my passion. Where am I going with this? 😂 We all have strengths. We all have weaknesses. And sometimes I have adorable besties that regardless of all of that, still want me to take their family pictures. And I’m ok with that too. 😍 #mistycphotography #familyphotographer #cherryblossoms #thisneverhappens
Happy Friday!!! Jackson turned 2 months yesterday, and he’s like double the size he was here. We don’t go into the doctor for him for another two weeks so I’m not sure what h weighs just yet, but he’s pretty much out of 0-3 months clothes already! 😩 How do they grow so fast?!? We’ve been dealing with some crazy things around here like new jobs (for Justin) which includes job applications, interviews, and waiting. It’s just another testament that adulting is SO dumb. We’ll end this #fridayintroductions with 5 fun facts! 1. I played sports my whole life, and lettered all four years of high school in volleyball and softball. 2. With that, my softball team was 2nd in state my Junior and Senior year. 3. I was 2nd base and a pitcher. I only pitched around 50 mph which wasn’t as fast as the others on our team, but I threw a mean knuckle ball and it lead me to a perfect game (with the help of my team, of course). 4. I could have played softball in college, but decided that I wanted to work instead. 5. Ended up being a good thing because I wasn’t SUPER motivated to stay in college. 😜 Did you play sports growing up?! What was your favorite? #mistycphotography #mistycbehindthescenes #mistycbts #behindthescenes #weddingphotographer #washingtonweddingphotographer #lightandairy #chasinglight #thatsdarling #Risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #passgallery #showiteer #shootandshare #pnwedding #westcoastbestcoast
