Instagram stories saw this floral Senior portrait session first 🌸

A moment for a few of my favorite black + white frames from Courtney + Kristian’s i n s a n e l y beautiful wedding at (a personal fav venue of mine here in Augusta)

Wedding season is in full force right now and my feed is about to go crazy with all of these gorgeous weddings and shoots I’ve had. I love love love color in photos but sometimes, black and white just stops you in your tracks 🖤

Kicked off the 2024 wedding season with the absolute biggest bang (two posts in one day kinda big).

Katie + Matt were surrounded by their closest friends and family and they danced until the the very last song. We immediately were welcomed in like family and honestly, this is a wedding I wish I could relive just so I could be a guest 🥹

Congrats you two— and hello 2024 wedding season🎉

Buried in the prettiest (and the spiciest🔥) of edits but had to take a moment for another Chicago post. Never going to stop posting these.

Part 2 of 3 with Jillissa + Sterling in my new favorite city. Promising myself to make this a routine occurrence (Did you know that I travel? Passport is u pd a t e d and this years list is growing with flights to various destinations for my clients. No destination is too far🤍 next up? Ireland 🇮🇪)

I was made to wander. Take me with you wherever your story leads✨

Pausing my usual content feed to interrupt with a casting call📣📣

Partnering up with some crazy, talented vendors for an Editorial Bridal Lookbook this February. Think Vogue Italia, Avant-Garde with the prettiest of gowns, florals, hair and makeup + photos taken by me🤍

We currently have all but o n e spot filled.

ISO:

- Blonde with medium to long hair (no vivids for this particular shoot)
- Comfortable in front of a camera + with images used for marketing, media + publication
- Available on 2/25/24

Interested? DM me for more info✨

Opened up three more spots for the Hanging Florals in the Glass House due to popular demand! This will be the only day I offer them so snag one while you can! 🌸

Floral Minis in the Glass House🌸

“I always knew I wanted some sort of boutique, be it clothing or jewelry, but I didn’t want to spend time away from my kids. So I started Hive in my dining room (or “jewelry room” as my 6 year old now calls it) to show them that you can do anything (and ANYWHERE) you put your mind to. From there the vision turned into something bigger. It turned into a place on Instagram that women can escape their daily stress and worry and negativity to come and design a piece of jewelry for themselves.”

And so, was born and I have never been more proud of my bestie Jessica 🥹

Shooting Hive Designs very first Branding Session at .na was so much fun and a colorful way to kick off my 2024 season. Also, a favorite, but I’m partial because it’s my Jessica🪩

Jessica is the reason my all black or only neutral wardrobe even began to integrate color into it (if you ever see me in anything other than black or neutrals, she’s the reason). I love how fun and happy her line is and will now be exclusively gifting a piece to each of my wedding + bo***ir clients going forward (this past weekends Bo***ir babes all received the cutest bubble initial🥹)

Jess- I’m so effing proud of you and the vision you had and the drive to create it. Here’s to big things this year baby🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Gloomy weather means prepping for the most b e a u t i f u l floral minis 🌸🩷

Heading back to Serenity Glass House in the spring for a limited series of Hanging Floral Minis. The venue itself undecorated is stunning, but adding in this install?!! These will make for gorgeous, interactive photos, just in time for Mother’s Day🌸

When I tell you my 2024 couples are literallyyyyyyyyyy making me s c r e am, I mean it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

pt. 1 of 3 in the city with Jillissa + Sterling

Also, currently packing my bags + moving to Chicago because I have never fallen in love with a city faster bye.

Cheers to the New Year babies! (A week late but who cares —- this year we are choosing chaos and i LOVE IT) 🥂

Kicking off this season already with incredible branding shoots with business owners, authors, bridal shoots + engagement sessions all while wrapping up finalizations on some of my most favorite galleries from the end of 2023.

As I prep for the 2024 wedding season and a bustling calendar that’s taking us all over the world (Ireland is calling!), I can’t wait to flood your feed with all of my favorite moments from 2023 and finally get a chance to play catch up with socials. A lot of it had to take a backseat especially towards the end of the year, but I have a passion for telling your story, both in photos + in writing, and I can’t wait to share it✨

Wishing you + yours the Merriest Christmas 🎄🤍

To all of you for showing me just how magical the Christmas season can be ✨ Merry everything, and happy always 🎄🤍

I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Mary Beth + Will had one of the greatest receptions of all time 👏😭🎉

I’m just trying to figure out how to go back to their reception as a GUEST byeeee

Had the absolute joy of getting to photograph ‘s Annual “It’s the Night Before Christmas” show. When I tell you this studio brought the magic of Christmas to life🎄✨

Mama’s: never ever skip on doing a Mommy + Me session🥹

My heart is in a puddle. Actual tears were shed during this session- thank you .w.white for inviting me in to see this special relationship you have with G🤍

Happy Thanksgiving to you + yours🤍

It has been my immense pleasure getting the honor of documenting you all in these incredible moments from weddings, to witnessing new life, to watching your family grow, to your businesses soar.

This has been my wildest season yet, and new business plans are in store for LKP for 2024 and beyond so I can better serve you. Thank you for your patience as I spend time tenderly caring for your art for years to come🤍

Figured it was time to take a break from reels + leave a stagnant post. ‘Tis the season to be swamped but I had to sneak a preview of my babe + her boo Matt and their blue hour to dusk picnic on Folly 🤍

Hair + MUA: with .salon

Capturing families this season in my life has brought me more joy than my clients have realized— allowing families + their littles to lead the sessions while I just follow the motions in their natural state.

Kessler + her fam are forever one of my favorites to capture 🤍

Wedding this past Saturday, first round of Minis yesterday and slicing my hand on a rusty gate from the 1800s (getting that tetanus shot today) but w o r t h it for the shots, branding shoot tomorrow and a double wedding weekend this weekend?

Y’all are you ready?

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly fit in one more mini session this year, THIS SPACE appeared in my feed and there’s no looking back.

Will be offering one more set of Christmas Minis in December, with a week turnaround date to ensure they are in your inbox before Christmas 🎄

This place looks like a d r e a m and I cannot believe it exists here in the CSRA! Message me to get on this list!
