I had the pleasure of photographing Kyle and Kaitlyn’s winter engagement session in downtown Walla Walla, and it was a total dream! Kaitlyn’s love for Starbucks made it the perfect touch to add some cozy coffee shop vibes to their shoot—how cute is that? Despite the hustle and bustle of downtown, its timeless beauty and charm never fail to provide the perfect backdrop for romantic and fun photos. From the adorable spots along Main Street to the historic bank fronts with grand columns and stunning brick walls, downtown Walla Walla truly offers a variety of beautiful settings. It’s always a favorite spot for capturing those intimate and flirty moments.

From Super Bowl Proposals to Milestone Moments


Kyle and Kaitlyn’s love story is as sweet as it gets! They met on Tinder—one of many couples I’ve enjoyed photographing who’ve found love through the app. Kyle is a massive Eagles fan, so it was only fitting that he proposed during last year’s Super Bowl when the Eagles were playing the Chiefs. Watching football together has been a cherished part of their relationship, making the proposal even more special.


Kaitlyn first contacted me in the Fall of 2022 for a couple’s session, and she surprised me with a touching pregnancy/gender reveal announcement. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of capturing many of their life milestones, from their Fresh 48 session after the birth of their baby girl to fall family photos and now their engagement. Documenting their journey and being part of their special moments is an absolute honor.

A Cozy Winter Engagement Session in Downtown Walla Walla


Winter in downtown Walla Walla has a unique charm, and Kyle and Kaitlyn's engagement session was a perfect example of that! Despite February's bare trees and chilly temperatures, the city's timeless beauty radiated through. We captured some beautifully cozy photos that highlighted the season's atmosphere. A standout moment was when Kyle insisted on including the Weiner & Bun sign in their shoot. This unique request, a reflection of their identity as a couple, added a touch of humor and personality to their photos.
