Love, I want to be your wedding photographer!!! I want to be with you as you put on your dress and all your ladies cry. I want to be there as you walk down the isle to the man of your dreams. I want to freeze his reaction in time. I want to be there…so you’ll never forget!!

Couple sessions don’t have to be stuffy and posey and boring and uncomfy, y’all. It’s a time for you to have FUN and be 100% YOU. My goal is to show off and capture your real laughs. Your real love. I’m not there for me, I’m there for you. I don’t need to get the most epic photos for Instagram - I want to get photos that you will remember forever and ever by knowing how you felt in that moment with your person. Whether you’re laughing, crying, snuggling, kissing... I’m not going to interfere with your love to try and get the most epic “insta famous” shot. Anyway, you get it. I love what I do, and I have wonderful humans again and again that I get to work with 💕

Does the style of your wedding shoes matter? 👠 Experts say if you can’t see them, consider comfort first. Especially if your shoes have a slightly larger heel, they’ll need a bit of wearing in to ensure they don’t pinch or kill your feet. This might just call for a bit of casual strutting while watching evening TV or cooking dinner.

One of the best things about engagement sessions is having the opportunity to capture the personalities of the future bride and groom. And there is no better to place to see the true feelings of a couple than at their home! So, when Carrie and Mick asked me to travel to them for their engagement session, there is no way I could say no. Carrie and Mick’s at-home engagement session was cozy, comfortable, sweet, and perfect. They were in their element, and because of this, their love and happiness radiated so clearly in each of their photos.

Go be proud of the mom you are today. Treasure her. Pluses, minuses, & all that lies in-between because the way you are shapes your kids FOR THE BETTER. Don’t forget that you are the daughter of a king 👑. And don’t use this space to gauge how you are measuring up. And don’t believe the nonsense that you need more of ______ to show you care. And please don’t write #goals on another stranger’s filtered picture of their perfect kitchen or flexed abs. Seriously. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Stop scrolling, if you start feeling icky. Take inventory of who you’re following too - as what goes in must come out. Let your heart be your daily guideline, not social media. Acknowledge that stuff is just stuff. And yes, IG can be so inspiring but it can also be a giant magnifying glass 🧐 to what you’re lacking. Too, be your own purpose of action to the life you already have...and to the person you already claim...and to the children you already cherish. Without anyone watching.

It’s crazy over here and it’s not even spring! But beyond blessed for this busy season and grateful to all of my amazing clients!

I’m still learning and growing as a business owner and prioritizing my family is a must, but if you read into my enneagram, when a 4 commits, we get totally committed. We love intensity. But burning at both ends is good for no one.

Any other 4’s out there find themselves on the struggle bus because they LOVE working? What’s your enneagram and what are your struggles? Can we ride the bus together? 🚌

If you’ve ever posed the question veil or no veil.... the answer is always with zero questions YES! 🙌

There are no rules to when you need to wear your veil on your wedding day, but I always encourage couples to bring one along for an extra touch to both your getting ready portraits and couples intimate photos.

Even if you just wear it for less than half your photos in helps add some variety to your final album and I mean who doesn’t want an excuse to sneak in a few extra images.

But for real don’t ditch the veil just because you don’t want it weighing you down or flowing crazy during the ceremony because nothing says you can’t take it on and off throughout the day!

I want to fill you all in on a little (or not so little) secret and I’m going to get a little deep here, so stay with me. Before your session...every. single. session. I feel anxious. My heart pounds, I take deep breaths, and I pray as I drive to meet you. It was like this when I began and it holds true to this day.

There is no doubt that this happens because I want your session to be PERFECT. Perfect in the sense of the forecast holding out, the location being as stunning to you as it is to me, and most importantly that moments unfold and I am able to document them as purely as possible. It’s on me as your photographer to guide and arrange those moments, I don’t just show to a field and say, “okay! Have at it!” Then back away and HOPE something magical happens.

No. I am on my toes the entire time. Prompting, directing, playing (I’m literally sweating at the end), and building trust in hopes that your kids feel comfortable enough to be themselves in front of my lens. Yes, there are organic moments (like the one you see here) but careful preparation got us to this shot.

So much care and emotion goes into every session. When I say my heart goes into my work, I mean it. I leave feeling so grateful and content knowing I am doing something that not only brings ME so much joy, but without a doubt YOU as well. Images like this are priceless and I want you to know as your photographer, I take so much pride in documenting the connection and chemistry between you and the ones you love most.
Because I know as a mama, time is fleeting and these treasures will last a lifetime and I am honored you invested in me to capture it for you.

Weddings are like a blank canvas. You have the ability to paint in whatever colors, shapes, patterns, textures or ways you want! One of the most freeing things I think I could tell any of my brides is : IT’S YOUR DAY! So, let it be just that. If you want to have a colored wedding dress, or a ceremony in a creek. If you want to dance the night away with disco jams or eat funnel cake instead of real cake! If you want to have no bridal party or 20 of em! The day is yours for the taking and should be celebrated in every small, big and extraordinary way you want to celebrate it! Don’t let the pressure to be the best Pinterest wedding or pleasing those closest to you, make you miss the joy of the experience. Do YOU, in whatever aspect you envision that canvas to be, just be YOU!!!
