February 8th, 2025 — Wenatchee, WA

The NCW Bridal Premiere lit up the Town Toyota Center once again — and this year’s energy was unmatched. From the moment the doors opened, the space filled with excitement, anticipation, and the sparkle that only love (and wedding planning!) can bring.

It was an absolute honor to be part of this event for another year — and even more special to share my booth with the amazing Dalisa Sherrard of Sherrard Studios. Dalisa isn’t just a fellow creative — she’s my bestie. Having her in the booth with me made the whole day more fun, more real, and honestly? Way more meaningful. We’ve been through a lot together, and sharing this space — talking with brides, hyping each other up, doing what we love — felt like something really special.

Celebrating 40 Years of Bridal Magic

A huge round of applause and heartfelt thanks to Katrina and David from Katrina’s Bridal Boutique for organizing this unforgettable event — and for celebrating their 40th year of making wedding dreams come true. That kind of legacy doesn’t happen by accident. Their dedication, eye for style, and genuine love for this community have shaped what the NCW Bridal Premiere has become: a must-attend event for anyone planning their big day in Central Washington.

What We Shared at the Show

At Boudoir by Lynette (and Lynette Smith Photography), our booth offered more than just pretty photos. It was a glimpse into what’s possible when women say yes to themselves.

We spoke with dozens of brides who were looking for unique, meaningful wedding gifts. The bast part boudoir photography came up a lot. It’s such a beautiful way to honor yourself while giving your partner something personal, powerful, and unforgettable.

I also loved sharing stories from my ongoing 40 Over 40 Project, which is now in its fourth year. This project continues to move people. I could see it spark something in so many women who walked by our booth. A a reminder that their story matters, and it’s never too late to be celebrated.

Our Offerings for Brides (and Beyond!)

Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating a milestone, or just ready to reclaim your light. Here’s a peek at what we offer in our studio:

• Boudoir Sessions – More than a gift, this is an experience of seeing yourself in a whole new way.
• The 40 Over 40 Project – Soulful portraits of women rewriting the narrative about age, confidence, and visibility.
• Personal Branding & Headshots – From entrepreneurs to creatives, we help you show up with clarity and confidence.
• Portraits That Tell Your Story – Not just pretty pictures, but real moments captured through a lens that sees you.

Every single image we showcase has been created with permission, and always in the safety and privacy of our studio. Trust is everything — and we honor it fully.

The Power of Showing Up

These events are always a reminder of why I do what I do. Getting to connect with brides, families, fellow creatives, and other passionate business owners in the community fills my cup.

It’s not just about photography. It’s about confidence. Story. Legacy.
And it all starts with showing up.

Local Love + Vendor Connections

One of the best parts of the NCW Bridal Premiere? Catching up with so many talented vendors from across Central Washington. We had a blast swapping stories, sharing ideas, and dreaming up future collaborations. This community is full of heart and hustle, and it’s always inspiring to be surrounded by people who care just as deeply about their craft as we do.

Whether it was chatting with fellow photographers, wedding planners, florists, or beauty pros — every conversation was a reminder that we’re all in this to uplift, create, and serve. Here’s to more shared projects, referrals, and cheering each other on in 2025 and beyond!
