Maya and Scott’s wedding at Mt. Hood Organic Farms was the most beautiful blend of late-season color — lush flowers everywhere, crisp air, and the most incredible views of the mountain. It felt like that perfect moment where summer is just starting to fade but everything is still in full bloom.
Their day was full of so many sweet, quiet moments and the kind of joy that makes documenting a wedding feel really special.
I’m so excited that their celebration is now featured on @loverly !
Still so honored I got to capture this day for them.

Scott and Maya’s wedding at Mt. Hood Organic Farms was the perfect blend of moody PNW charm and mountain beauty. Their day began under classic grey PNW skies—a soft, misty atmosphere that wrapped the orchards and iconic apple houses in a romantic haze. But just as the ceremony began, the clouds parted and sunlight spilled across the property, revealing stunning, unobstructed views of Mt. Hood in all its glory.
If you’re dreaming of a Mt. Hood Organic Farms wedding, this venue delivers everything the PNW is known for. The property is lined with apple, pear, and grape orchards—lush rows of fruit trees creating natural, intimate spaces for portraits and quiet moments. Every corner feels like a blend of wild nature and curated beauty, making it one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Oregon.
Scott and Maya chose Mt. Hood Organic Farms because they wanted the full Pacific Northwest experience surrounding their day—the towering mountain backdrop, the ever-shifting weather, the organic farmland, and the immersive feeling of being tucked inside nature. Their ceremony was filled with emotional reactions from loved ones as the unexpected sunshine lit up the mountain behind them. Throughout the day, every laugh, tear, and joyful embrace felt amplified by the landscape.
From wandering through the orchards to celebrating beneath the warm glow of golden hour, their wedding perfectly showcased why Mt. Hood Organic Farms is such a breathtaking venue for couples wanting a true PNW wedding experience. The mix of rustic charm, organic beauty, and dramatic mountain views created a day that was not only unforgettable for Scott and Maya—but for everyone who witnessed it.

You don’t have sensitive skin.
You have dysregulated skin.
There’s a difference.
Sensitive skin is what the beauty industry calls it when they can’t figure out what’s actually happening. It’s a category. A label. A way to sell you more products marketed to “calm” and “soothe.”
But your skin isn’t sensitive.
It’s responding exactly the way it should to:
→ A compromised barrier
→ Chronic inflammation
→ Nervous system dysregulation
→ Environmental stressors your body is trying to process
Your skin is terrain, not surface.
And when you understand YOUR terrain: genetic, environmental, transitional - you stop treating symptoms and start supporting the system.
This is what we’re building in Regulated & Radiant.
A course that teaches you to read your skin like a professional, understand your unique terrain, and create a minimalist routine based on regulation, not reaction.

Getting the garden ready is one of my favorite times of year and a great reminder that we are heading into a season of growth🌱🍄🟫🪻
Happy May to everyone and congrats to all of our May couples getting married! We have been so lucky with incredible weather this year so far🌞#inmygardentoday #lovemygarden #gardentime #organicvegetables #organicgardening
Happy Spring Equinox🌷it’s a new season and there are so many new faces here, so it felt like the right moment to show up and introduce myself properly.
I’m Kelli - I have been a holistic esthetician and wedding beauty artist for over 25 years. The person in my chair matters to me. Not just how they look when they leave, but how they feel. Whether they feel like themselves and genuinely seen and cared for.
If we are working together on your wedding, I’m thinking about you long before I arrive - every detail, timeline, moment, I’m holding space for it all and care deeply.
If you are a skin membership client, I track your terrain month by month like it is the most interesting story I’ve ever been told. Because it means so much to me that you’re advocating for your skin health.
If you are in a makeup lesson with me, I’m not teaching you a look. I’m teaching you to see your own face - your features, your biology, to feel your nervous system.
Beauty is not a formula. Expect this account to get more intentional and educational. I’m so happy you are here for it! If you’re ready for terrain-based skin care that photographs luminously - COMMENT SPRING and I’ll send you my NEW 2026 SKIN PREP GUIDE.

Kaya came to me naturally beautiful and nervous. She left radiant and confident. Luckily, I got to be there while she let herself feel it.
Then she immediately sent me these gorgeous photos and told me she’d been getting a ton of compliments on her hair & makeup - which made my whole week.
This is why I do this beauty work. Not to change anyone, but to help them show up as the most luminous version of themselves at the moments that matter.
To the most beautiful season of your life - Kaya. Cheers, Mama 🧡 #cleanbeauty #naturalbeauty #oregonmakeupartist #makeupmama
This is for the person who’s been scrolling wedding beauty with a quiet knot in your stomach.
The one who doesn’t wear much day to day and can’t picture themselves in a full face of heavy makeup.
The one whose partner says “you’re beautiful without makeup” and means it.
The one who wants to feel something special on that day without losing themselves in the process.
I see you.
You’re not being difficult.
You know what matters to you.
I’ve done over 500+ weddings and the most powerful moment is never the dramatic transformation, it’s the person who looks in the mirror and their eyes fill because they look like themselves, elevated.
More luminous.
More present.
The version of themselves they feel on their best days, made visible.
That’s what intentional, botanical beauty means in practice. I read your skin before I touch it. I use formulas that work with your biology, not over it. I enhance instead of transform.
I’ve spent 28 years, from clinical esthetic training to eastern practices at Shiseido to evaluating 20+ professional product lines, learning how to do exactly that.
You don’t need to arrive knowing what you want. You need someone who knows how to see you. This is what we do - each artist on the team is here to help bring out your innate radiance.

The Year of the Fire Horse happens every 60 years! Liz and Ashton's wedding at @theorchard.hr was fire meeting intention, capturing the energy of this exact spirit.
Bold beauty, rooted tradition, a dance led by the team at (@whitelotusliondance ) that brought the entire room to life. The kind of celebration that reminds you what it looks like when culture, love, and beauty are honored with real care.
This is what I have been speaking to over the past few weeks - fire doesn't have to scatter. It can be directed. It can be precise. It can hold tradition and power in the same breath.
25 years of doing this work and being able to share in moments like these still stop me in my tracks. Not because they're perfect. Because they're intentional. Because every detail was chosen, not defaulted to.
That's the energy I want for all of us this year. Not more. Not louder. Not faster. Directed. Regulated. Rooted. On fire in the way that lights a room instead of burning it down.
Happy Lunar New Year 🔥 #ChineseNewYear #FireHorse #RegulatedandRadiant #WeddingBeauty #OregonWedding

To our future couples: We don’t transform. We elevate. We reveal. We honor what’s already beautiful in you. The moment I live for is when a bride looks in the mirror during her design session and says ‘I look like me - elevated’ - with relief in her voice.
Somewhere along the way, we were conditioned to think that wedding beauty means looking different. More done. More trend-forward. More… something.
But the people I work with? They’re the ones who want to look at their wedding photos in 30 years and recognize themselves naturally beautiful.
Radiant. Vibrant. Timeless.
Not 2025. Not Instagram. Not anyone else.
They want to see all their natural beauty brought forward, enhanced, celebrated. That’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t need updating. It’s never about covering or fixing. It’s always about being fully honored, magnified and cared for.
