Hey my name is Keni Bartley and I am a photographer thriving in a tiny, hippy town tucked away in an Oregon valley. Most days you'll find me with my hair up, drinking fancy coffee and a big orange cat sleeping at my feet -- neither of us believes in diets. More importantly I am the girl who snort laughs at everyone's jokes (especially my own), always carries a reusable water bottle and always forgets it somewhere, does not need to be persuaded into a late-night Ben & Jerry's run, and ugly cries during every episode of This Is Us. My real love languages are early mornings, Dixie Chicks, and denim jackets. I'm a dream-doer, popcorn enthusiast, and champion of empowering women. I believe in not only chasing my dreams but my values!

I am all about embracing intimacy and emotion through my images - the deep sighs of comfort being held in your love's arms, scrunchy-nosed smiles, shaky hands holding onto your vows. The real small and the real big moments, and all the ones in-between. When the cake is gone, your dress is hung, and the flowers have dried, your wedding day will survive through your memories and photos. Each moment captured a witness and celebration of you. From the giddy hours before "I do" to the drunk-in-love feels after the bouquet is thrown - let's witness and capture your joy, your spirit, your love.

If you're dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me.

1. My love, Max, is a pilot and I still get giddy every time he comes home

2. I've lived in 4 different states - WA, CA, OR, TX

3. The La La Land soundtrack is my favorite morning pump up music

4. My favorite book is Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (send me all your book recommendations!)

5. I am a dog person AND a cat person - my cat Samson and dog Winston have my entire heart
