I have a confession to make 🥺. Yes, I’ve been SUPER quiet on here for most of the year.

Many of you already know but I’ve struggled with my 4th pregnancy like I never thought I would. Between months of not being able to eat or drink, seeing many specialists, trying to raise my 3 sweet kiddos, and make my amazing clients happy, Instagram has fallen by the wayside.

I miss engaging with all of you here so much and can’t wait to be back full time!

Baby girl 👩🏻‍🍼is due in a few weeks and it will be the biggest relief to hold her in my arms.

Thank you all for your patience and support. ❤️

Big thank you to my sweet friend for documenting one of my most difficult journeys in the most beautiful way. 😇

Surrounded by warm love on one of the coldest days of the year, makes this wedding a stand-out for me! Such a beautiful day!

Let's hear it for the girls✨

The one's that calm your nerves before you walk down the aisle, hype you up when you put on your dress and dance the night away with you at the reception! Wedding days just wouldn't be the same without them!

Headed into 2023 with a big smile on my face! THANKFUL for all my amazing clients this year and of years past.

Can't wait to show you guys all the NEW THINGS as Dee Olmstead Photography grows. Happy New Year!! 🎆

458 hours was the amount of time I spent photographing my WONDERFUL clients and couples this year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might be thinking “wow, that’s a lot of time JUST behind the camera."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, yes you’d be right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the way I look at it, I could not be more blessed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for another amazing year :) Without all of you, Dee Olmstead Photography wouldn't be here.

The thing I would NEVER do as your wedding photographer?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is have you force a smile for hours of posed photos. 🫤 Because to me? A wedding day is supposed to be exciting, moving, and uninhibited.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe in being an observer and only giving guidance when necessary. It's important to create a series of images that show your day in the most authentic way possible. And that means, no FAKING it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is having a low-key/unpretentious experience important to you?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*If you're already married, what would you have changed about your experience?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you all have stories 🤣!

Love the idea of adding your “something blue” to the bottom of your bouquet with something as simple as a ribbon. Makes for some pretty pictures too 😍
