oh hey!

I'm Cambria, the red-headed college dropout that just really wants a hedgehog. I'm also a photographer that thrives on the real moments that makes your love what it is. If you're looking for more sub-par descriptions of myself, click this cute button!

snow days are the perfect excuse to do what i’m best at: laying around, doing absolutely nothing. know your strengths! —ALSO: stay tuned for the coolest announcement/surprise/fun thing tomorrow! (no, it’s not my baby) moments ago, a mystery creature flew into our chimney and now i’m unable to nap like I planned because of my deep fear that a bald eagle is in the abyss of my fireplace, waiting to kill me. • • • • • #alaska #alaskaelopement #alaskaelopementphotographer #alaskawedding #alaskaweddingphotographer #alaskabride #alaskaphotographer #elopementphotography #adventureelopement #adventureelopementphotographer #adventurebrides I got to photograph some of our favorite people today! It's always such a privilege to document the first days of a growing family. Sweet Paisley James is perfection and we can't wait to arrange her + baby Shelley's wedding someday. 😍 • • • • • #newbornsession #iowacitynewbornsession #newbornphotography #newbornphotographer #iowanewbornphotographer #iowanewbornphotography in celebration of this extra lovey day, i’ve got a little giveaway going for my past couples—share your favorite moment from your wedding day or session today, tag me, and you’ll be entered to win a surprise freebie from the print shop 💕 announcing the winner tomorrow! go go go! I was hit by Cupid’s sparrow! Funny little bird, but he gets the job done. (Don’t worry, @jamesjshelley will get it. It’s why he’s forever my valentine.) 🖤 being 38 weeks pregnant is basically just waddling out of your house only when you absolutely have to (also because it’s still Iowa winter) and everyone asking repeatedly “are you ready???” or “do you have everything you need??” (to which I reply “I don’t know I’ve never created a human before??”) or the classic “wow still pregnant!” and you just want to punch everyone but also cry/be hugged but also sleep and you can’t because you pee every 2 minutes. it’s fine i’m doing fine 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 me patiently awaiting all those valentine’s day proposal inquiries 🖤 (also me thinking about the heart shaped pizza @jamesjshelley and i are going to devour on V Day 💫) • • • • • #midwestengagement #midwestengagementphotographer #midwestengagementsession #midwestwedding #midwestweddings #midwestweddingphotographer #iowaengagement #iowaengagementphotographer #iowaengagementsession at first i thought you were a constellation i made a map of your stars, then i had a revelation: you’re as beautiful as endless you’re the universe i’m helpless in an astronomer at my best when i throw away the measurements like a telescope i will pull you so close ‘til no space lies in between. — @sleepingatlast • • • • • #californiawedding #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaelopement #californiaelopementphotographer #californiabride #yosemitewedding #yosemiteweddingphotographer #yosemiteelopement #yosemiteelopementphotographer when you see a shelf on Instagram that doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet and uncle @dylanoehler builds an exact replica to complete the basement play corner! we have the best friends. (*bonus points if you can spot Maddie in this photo) Saturday in a photo ✨ • • • • • #iowawedding #iowaweddingphotographer #iowacitywedding #iowacityweddingphotographer #iowacouples #iowacouplesphotographer #inhomesession #inhomesessions #inhomesessionphotographer 1 year ago today we were in Hong Kong with some special friends and it was a blast. We shared a very small hotel room with @dylanoehler and 2 twin beds, had beers by the ocean, saw beautiful buildings, plus much more. You had to be there. HK quickly became one of my favorite cities I’ve ever been to, excited to go back someday. 🖤 something nobody tells you that you need to keep in mind for your wedding day: where you get ready MATTERS! I’ve photographed brides + grooms getting ready in all the places— from the darkest church basements to the most beautiful light soaked rooms. While it’s part of my job to be prepared for any lighting scenario, I won’t lie when I say that photos of you getting ready in a place that has that creamy, natural light is going to trump the nearly-pitch black caves every time. I’m making a guide for my stellar couples that cover everything you should think about before your wedding day—what else do you think should be included? ✨ (shot this insanely gorgeous wedding with my buddy @erinorthcutt and you need to go check out her jaw dropping work, mk?) • • • • • #washingtonwedding #washingtonweddingphotographer #washingtonelopement #washingtonelopementphotographer #seattlewedding #seattleweddingphotographer #washingtonbride #seattlebride #pnwwedding #pnwbride This week, a huge chapter of my life will come to a close as we prepare for our little babe. Ellie and Evie + their fabulous parents have been part of my every day for the past almost 3 years (I can't believe it's been that long!)❤️ While I take comfort in the fact that we'll still live only 15 minutes away (and that they'll be the best future babysitters I could ask for!), nothing will take away the bit of sadness I feel for no longer walking into their house every day and being greeted with a "hi Lala!!"❤️These two have taught me so much and have brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined. So, SO thankful for this family and the love that they have shown us these past few years! Thank you @augustinetoscano + @juliekaytoscano for capturing such fun memories for us! inspired by mom (@tudorteresa ) relentlessly trying to guess our baby name, I’m here to ask you: what do you think we’re naming our little dude?! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Meeting our new roommate in a few weeks! Hope he likes us! “Snow over this polar vortex.” “I glove snow but this is too much.” “There’s snowplace like home because the outdoors will literally kill you.” All possible punny captions for this photo, couldn’t pick a favorite. sending off this warm January engagement session tonight! also wondering why I live where it is currently the coldest place on Earth! someone let me know! thank you! today @jamesjshelley and I went to learn about birth and a woman made us hold ice cubes and breathe really loudly so you could say we got this whole labor/delivery process down and I’m not scared at all! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 #itsfine • • • • • #iowawedding #iowaweddingphotographer #iowacitywedding #iowacityweddingphotographer #iowabride #midwestwedding #midwestweddingphotographer #ushersferry #ushersferrywedding me looking at Wednesday’s forecast for a literal -52 degrees in Iowa City and thinking about how i’m probably not gonna make it
