Omg you guys look how cute!!!

Please read and share

Some days, I question the significance of what I do. Then, there are moments that bring me to tears, like when I realize I've taken someone's final photos. As I prepare those images for a funeral, I always take a moment to reflect on that day, thinking about how incredible it is that something I've captured will become part of someone's legacy—something their family will treasure for generations.

It's in those moments that I realize being a photographer is so much more than just taking pictures. It's an honor and a privilege to be trusted with preserving these memories. Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your lives in such a meaningful way.

Let this be a reminder to schedule those family photos. We moms, especially, tend to avoid the camera, but your family deserves to have those memories with you in them.

Thank you for supporting my small business—it means the world to me.

Due to the incoming weather I have opened up Santa Bookings today instead of tomorrow.

Already half booked!

PLEASE SHARE. I would love to add another date!

Busy working on the photos for this sweet couple Kayla and Cody. They were wed at beautiful The Barn at Love Farms (one of my favorite venues). The day was a mix of clouds, sunshine and LOTS of heat. I always am so grateful for days like this because we get so many different looks to our photos. I hope you enjoy these sneaks while I finish up the gallery.

Thank you again for having me and congratulations!

When you take teens to the beach….

I have to give credit to my customer on this one. I LOVE this picture we took Saturday. They are going to look back at this photo one day and be in awe of these "dated phones". So typical of the times. Sitting on a beautiful beach texting.

Please Like this page to see more sneaks from this session.

This is your sign to call me for an extended family beach photo shoot. It is amazing how many photos you will end up with and a lifetime of memories. The sessions are only 30 minutes and you are already dressed and ready to head to dinner after.

Working with Brie, Jordan and her crew is always such a great event. They make everyone feel at ease. If you are looking for a planner check them out at Say Yes Weddings and Events
