The NHL is coming to Tahoe this weekend, and even though there aren’t any spectators allowed, I could not be more stoked for the world to see how incredible this place is. One of my favorite things about being a photographer here is that I get to see Tahoe through new eyes on a weekly basis, and that never gets old. 
Happy Valentines Day, lovers & anti-lovers 🤘🏼🖤 
This is one of my favorite engagement sessions I’ve ever done. Roni and Cass are extremely easy on the camera, but if someone would’ve told me in 2014 that I’d take photos this beautiful, I would’ve died laughing. I’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome quite a bit lately. Social makes me feel like I’m not doing enough more often than it doesn’t. While I’ve been getting better at things I was struggling with last month, this month I’m trying to overcome a whole new handful of unhealthy feelings. So pouring my heart into my couples is where I find comfort and security, no matter what I’m struggling with. If you’re in a similar boat, I encourage you to work harder for the people that are already in your corner. I think social makes us chase people that don’t exist in our circles yet, but the real magic is in the relationships you’ve already got. So pour yourself into your ride or dies. Look back at the magic you’ve captured in the past and allow yourself some grace for the future. Remind yourself that you’re an absolute fucking badass and without that badassery, you wouldn’t have anyone holding you up ✨ Thank you to all my people, past couples, friends and present couples. When I’m bummed af, your relationship with me is what gets me through and your belief in me is everything. 
Fun fact: Winter is my favorite season. So when @emmykulia inquired about a snowy microwedding in Truckee, I literally couldn’t think of anything better. We didn’t really have much snow until the day before Emmy & James’ wedding, and when it snowed, it SNOWED. They tromped around the cold with minimal clothing and didn’t complain once. They were so easy going, and their families were incredible, it was really hard to leave. In fact, @emmawynnpaul and I left 2 hours later. We could’ve hung out all night if the roads home weren’t getting slicker by the moment. I loved this day, and I can’t think of a couple more deserving of such a wonderful day.

SURPRISE! I’ve been working on a rebrand since November! 2020 taught me a lot of things, but one of the biggest lessons I learned was that I can run a successful creative business while still being 100% myself. I’ll still book rad couples and go rad places, I just don’t have to be a corporate robot to do that. In fact, it’s paramount that I am my authentic self everywhere I present my business so couples who book me know exactly who they’re getting and I don’t have to try to be someone I’m not when I’m with them. So, in working through my new website, new logos, and my brand, I did a ton of deep me diving - heh 🥸 Y’all, it took me a solid 3 weeks to write my “about me” page. It doesn’t help that I have the attention span of a goldfish, but that shit was hard af. This is my whole ass child. And I’m so proud of it. From the illustrations by the talented @daphnasebbane to every last inch of my website that I customized the hell out of. It’s finally just me. Spicy, wordy, introverted, perfectionist, dry, over-prepared, mouthy me. The reason for the name switch: Well, Marcus hasn’t been shooting weddings with me since 2019. We’re still very married and he helps with the backend of things, but I thought “The Boundys” was misleading. Also, being “The Boundys” as just one person was weird. “Oh, I’m ‘theboundys’ on Instagram. Yeah, just me. The one Boundy.” So anyway. Please go check it all out. You’re invited to eat your heart out, make fun of me, and enjoy🤘🏼 Honorable mentions: @_jasminejohnphotography for the photos of me & @jennapeterson.artistry for the Tamatoa stuff on my face⚡️ 
GIRL BUTTS 🤘🏼🍑 There are two places on earth that make me feel the most creatively alive & that’s the Pacific Northwest and Timber Cove, California. I love the way it rains sideways in both places. Anyway, these two were incredible. Thank you for sacrificing your warmth so we could catch feelings on camera, A+C 🖤
