Good Things in the Badlands
The Badlands, Pacific North West
Sophia & Ryan
“Ryan and I met in college in New Hampshire, but reconnected in Oregon where very shortly after forming a beautiful friendship, we took the plunge into more.We bonded over our love for the outdoors, being easy going in nature, and constantly seeking the next adventure to share together. After a road trip across the country to visit our families, we hit White Sands, New Mexico where Ryan asked some random strangers to take our picture. I smile and posed, not even realizing my other half was down on one knee waiting to ask me the question that would change my life forever. I cried. And then cried more. But after finally managing to get the word “yes” out, here we are ready to begin our lives together.”

“Victoria traveled to Bend, Oregon for a sunset engagement shoot in the Badlands, which was nothing short than perfect. My fiancé and I were anxious leading up to the photo shoot because we had never experienced posing, and really showing “PDA” for a camera. Victoria immediately put our minds at ease and spent the first fifteen minutes teaching us some basic poses that made us feel much more comfortable. We got a preview of our photos very shortly after, and the whole gallery followed in a very timely manner. We were absolutely floored at how beautiful they came out, and they’re something we’ll cherish forever. Our families are on the other side of the country and receiving this pictures (especially during the pandemic) made them feel like they were celebrating our engagement with us. Additionally, Victoria’s personality is EXACTLY what we needed for being new to this. She made us feel so relaxed with her professional guidance and positive affirmations, I’d recommend her to anyone. We love you, Victoria!!!”
