Always give love the upper hand❣️

Pretty sure Luke said “this is weird,” every time I gave them a prompt. But is it weird now, Luke? 😅

I promise there is a method to my madness during a session?

If I’ve photographed you, what was the moment you thought “this is weird?”

Tell me in the comments!

So like if reels are going to be the way to stay “relevant” on social media does that mean Instagram is going to fix their crop?

Morning sessions may be my new favorite way to do sessions in the summer. Get it done before it’s scalding hot outside and not waiting around all day, hoping the littles will be in a good mood come evening time.

My July books are closed but I have lots of august availability if you’re looking to get family photos done before fall hits!

This mother/son dance was so sweet! Clay and Meredith both have big loving families and their day was a special occasion for all!

Give me all the babies with the fuzzy bird hair!

I have a few weekends off and then I get to hang out with these two for their happily ever after!

This weekend we are keeping it low key and soaking in some family time after a very busy spring.

What are your plans for the weekend?

I will always encourage you to use real flowers in your wedding, at least for the bouquets....especially when they are as pretty as this bouquet from @rosesbouquets

Real flowers don’t have to break the bank and a good florist will work within your budget to help give you ideas and design something beautiful and classy.

Going over my editing process (very quickly) in my stories today.

The Gist:

1. Raw image + Preset and then ADJUST!
2. Profile corrections/grain
3. Use black, contrast, and shadows to create depth
4. Adjust for skin tone (temp/tint, saturation)

Typically the day after a wedding I like to post a photo of the couple. BUT...Today I’m not doing that for a few reasons.

You see I grew up in the same town as Justin and Breanna. A small town with big mouths and a lot of “under the radar” issues. My parents had me at 18 years old and have had to battle and overcome their fair share of generational curses.

Justin and Breanna come from similar backgrounds, and have also had to fight their way through generational trauma to get to where they are today.

So today I am sharing this sweet photo of a dad and his daughter sharing a dance in place of the mother/son dance. This is a picture of a son, friend, brother, husband and daddy of two who works every day to beat the trauma and hand me down baggage of his upbringing. A man who works every day to become the best version of himself and provide a life for his daughter that she doesn’t have to recover from.

Justin (and Breanna) I am so thankful you’ve chosen me to document life for you and I’m SO MOTHER EFFIN PROUD of both of you and the life you’re creating for your family. I will always be cheering you on 🤍

Happy wedding day to these lovers!! I CANNOT WAIT to finally celebrate you! It’s going to be the best day 🤍

It’s going to rain for the next forever, so here’s a moody black and white to match the vibe.

What song do you think Isla is singing?

Yesterday we had our own family photos taken, and as I was getting my 2 year old, Lola, dressed and ready to go, a thought crossed my mind.

As mothers we spend years getting our babies ready. Literally by getting them dressed every day, and figuratively by teaching about, molding for and modeling the skills they need to be happy and healthy when they grow up.

For moms of daughters this usually culminates in this exact moment: Their wedding day (if they choose to get married).

And honestly it’s unfair how fast we go from changing diapers to buttoning up wedding dresses.

So mommas, soak it in. And daughters, let mom have this moment. This one last time of getting you dressed and ready for your happy life ahead.

As we start seeing these hot girl Summer posts, there’s something that’s been weighing on my mind that I really feel the need to share because I know at the age of 16 and even into my early 20s it’s a message I would’ve needed to receive.

So people hear me loud and clear when I tell you that beauty is not standardized. Especially not standards set by influencers who are literally paid to look a certain way. You do not have to fit a mold, get fillers, show your ass, cover your ass, Have lash extensions perfect eyebrows or anything else that causes you your peace of mind.

You are beautiful because you are kind. You’re beautiful because you care about other people. You are beautiful because you are passionate and you have big dreams that you are pursuing. The way your eyes light up when your babies smile at you is beautiful. The joy that you bring others in your day to day attitude, is beautiful.

If participation in beauty standards is fun for you or makes you feel good then go for it! But if you feel a constant struggle to keep up or like you’re being asked to change who you are then don’t do it! You’re beautiful either way!

If you can stand the heat, summer sessions are the way to go in my opinion.

Yes, fall in the Midwest is gorgeous. BUT also so unpredictable. When will the leaves change? How long will they last? Will one rain storm knock them all down before we get to your session?

That summer sunshine though? Chefs kiss 👩🏼‍🍳

I lose a handful of followers every time I post a bo***ir photo.

A year ago this would have bothered me because of my follower count.

Today it bothers me because there are still people who can’t see the beauty in the human body. Yes these photos are meant to be “sexy.” But more than that they are a celebration.

A celebration of a body that has created life, battled mental health episodes, hugged loved ones, danced in joy, survived a pandemic and so much more.

So if you’re one of those people who is offended by bo***ir photos I would challenge you to consider why you struggle to celebrate the amazing human body? Maybe try celebrating your own more often 🤍

Just Lexi, Dakota (and the mosquitos) cuddling in nature.

I’ve been loving engagement sessions lately. Not as high pressure as the actual wedding day but still all the excited feelings of love.

I’m photographing TWO former student weddings in 2022 and it’s making me feel old! I still have plenty of availability on my 2022 wedding calendar so if you’re looking for a photographer I would love to chat!

06/06/2021

First look with the little brothers? Yes please 🥰

06/05/2021

Happy wedding day to Meredith and Clay! Let’s do this 🤍

06/03/2021

What new techniques have you tried lately?

I have been experimenting a lot with posing AND my physical position as I shoot. I’m trying to tell a story through unique or out of the ordinary perspectives.

Sometimes it hits, sometime is misses. But the moment we become stagnant and comfortable, our creative fire dims. I’m trying to keep mine stoked.

But don’t worry, I’ll always get the classics for you too!
