Kendyl + Kiley, two, true believers.
I met Kendyl & Kiley through Instagram, believe it or not. A few months ago I posted that I was looking for some photo representatives here in the Pacific Northwest. Kiley tagged Kendyl and we emailed each other, added each other on Facebook and started to collaborate for a photoshoot on Mt. Rainier!
“Mt. Rainier is just a magical place to see. It was the first place Kiley got to see snow and one of our first adventures. We love driving around and exploring nature. The PNW has had so much to offer in that department. We’ve gotten to take pictures and videos for our friends and family to share our adventures. It never feels like they do the beauty in any justice.
”
The morning of the photoshoot I checked the weather--- There was a winter weather advisory on Mt. Rainier and it was scheduled to get around 2 feet of snow. We decided we would all three ride to Mt. Rainier together since they have a 4WD vehicle and I have a Prius. Now anyone who knows me or also has anxiety realizes that riding in a car for 2 hours with people I just met can be a little scary! Because yes, what if they are bad drivers, but also what if I end up not liking them or we have different views on things or.. etc. etc. etc. The anxiety always offers plenty of those "what if's"
Guess what?! It wasn't any of those things. It was lovely and great and amazing and it was like we had known each other for years. Isn't it great how life can just throw people at you like this?? And then we ended up taking the most beautiful photographs together. SO PERFECT!!
“It wasn’t easy getting here today
Sometimes you stumbled or I lost my way
But every roadblock was a chance to say;
Take my hand I’m here beside you.
We worked and made it through the toughest parts
Now every day is another chance to start
To look around and see where we are
It’s where we were trying to get to
We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
And we are two, true believers”
