Engagement Photo with Skylar and Caitlin

I'm Caitlin, but you can call me Cait!

I'm married to my amazing husband, Skylar. We live in Meridian, Idaho, a beautiful city just outside of Boise that offers so much!

From shopping and dining to outdoor adventures, I love taking advantage of everything our great state has to offer.

Being a local Boise foodie means I can usually be found enjoying happy hour with friends or trying out new restaurants around town. And don't forget the good cocktails - I'm a sucker for them!

Before moving to Idaho, I lived in California, so Boise still feels like home away from home. Aside from exploring the area with my family and friends, I also love collaborating with local businesses to help bring the community together.

Where to go for Date Night

Looking for fun romantic ideas for you and your significant other? I can help! I've compiled fun ideas, restraunt recomendations and so much more!
