Hey y’all, it’s me!! 👋🏼
A much needed update on life for those that have been with me for awhile and to those who are new here!
Early March we welcomed baby boy #3 and we’ve been nonstop ever since. Life as a family of 5 has given me a run for my money, not to mention the other commitments our family has made this year. This mamas plate is full!

With a lot of thought and a lot of conversations, I’ll be taking a step back from photography. I don’t plan to step away completely - I will focus a lot on my returning clientele and taking on very very few new! If we have already set dates for sessions, gift cards to redeem, weddings booked or milestone packages secured - no sweat 🫶🏻 I’m fully there!

I’ve done so much reflecting and realizing that the attention and heart I want to pour into each client that crosses my path and the time I wanna take on your gallery after - I am unable to do that in this season of life and I’m learning to be okay with that. If you spread yourself too thin then no one area of a your life can be given your best.
& that’s what y’all deserve and so does my family, my best.

It’s not a goodbye, just giving myself permission to take a break!

Hey y’all, it’s me 👋🏼
A little reminder that I am still on maternity leave. Will be reassessing all things come May.

Doing some reflecting - been neck deep in motherhood and adjusting to life as a mama of 3. I wish I could say it’s been smooth, warm and fuzzy. I’d be lying, it’s been hard. We’ve had some changes in daycare, extra curricular activities starting up and alll the day to day things. A lot of learning and relearning. I find myself reflecting on moments like this. The details, the small moments - the moments that quickly come and quickly go. How much they matter and how important they are to carry us through the hard moments. I’m thankful to be able to capture them when I’m given the chance.

Y’all, I cannot thank you enough for the time you’ve given me. Full of understanding and love.

Transparency has always been something I pride myself in. If their is a prayer you can pray for me — is learning to navigate my new norm alongside doing what I love, photography and my ability to capture moments like this, more and more, real soon because you can be sure, I am missing it reeeeeal bad 🫶🏻

Introducing, Koa Warner 🤍
He surprised us 16 days early & is a sweet bundle of cuteness.
Big brothers are so incredibly in love with him.
Mom & dad are swooning over him too. 🤍

Full transparency, this season of going from two sweet boys to three has been a big adjustment. Those that know me know with my first I struggled with postpartum depression; fast forward to my second and by the grace of God, my mental health felt good; bringing our third baby boy home, I have recognized a lot of signs within myself that I experienced the first time around. Realizing that, I have vocalized the many lies that play in my head which has helped me heal, however, I am very much aware that I am in need of some time and lots of grace.

I will be on maternity leave until May 1st and plan to reassess then 🫶🏻 You all deserve my full focus and attention when it comes to inquiries, planning & sessions and I’d want nothing less for you. I understand some sessions and inquiries are time sensitive therefore it may cause you to go another direction, I get that and respect that - hopefully we can work together in the future.
To my clients that I have on my list to schedule once I return — I will likely touch base with you some time in May!

I have received an overwhelming amount of support and love - I truly cannot thank you enough 🤍

& just like that we will very soon be a family of 5. We cannot wait to meet you and see who God has created you to be!!

Signing off for now my friends, talk to you soon

The last couple months have been ✨busy busy✨ full of capturing sweet sweet seasons in so many lives before we begin a new season in our own life.
I’ve had the chance to spend a lot of time utilizing for a lot of my sessions during this winter season and I am so thankful! We are so lucky to have a space so versatile and welcoming!
I also cannot thank my clients enough for their patience and flexibility with me as I worked so hard to get everyone in, all their precious moments captured and galleries delivered.
My heart is full at the support and love I have felt and continue to feel — I owe that all to each of you.
With my entire heart + more, thank you friends 🫶🏻

Happy Saturday my sweet people, I hope you get to spend it with the ones you love! I plan to do the very same for it’ll be the slowest weekend I have before baby comes.
I will be replying and doing all the things, Tuesday 🤍

✨ turning FOUR is FUN ✨

Thankful to say I’ve been able to watch this sweet girl and her sister grow over the last few years. They are beautiful on the inside just as much as they are on the outside +++ a full side of sass 💁🏼‍♀️

As they have grown, so have I and that growth, in all areas of life, is something to be celebrated. Thankful for families like these and to be able to continue doing what I love no matter what season of life I am in or beginning!

Cheers to growth & all its beauty 🌱

There is just something soooo right about the bride getting pampered and treated like a straight ✨QUEEN✨

& that’s exactly how it should be, ya won’t change my mind.

+ & all staff at were so fun to work with.

Mom and Dad were getting married, but Augie stole the show!

Hey y’all 🫶🏻

It’s been a minute but I’m alive and well - getting more and more pregnant by the minute! I have been working hard to wrap up my 2022 weddings, get all my clients in before baby boy gets here *without overdoing it* and setting my future self up for success when baby boy is here and I learn to do life with our sweetest new boy! Alll while listening to this body of mine!

✨WOMEN ARE AMAZING✨

I am so glad you are here, I am so grateful to my clients for the grace and patience they have shown me and I am so excited for all that’s to come!!

So much love, C 🫶🏻

The moments that you hit click on your camera that have a 50/50 chance of turning out but the magic is there & the results are 👌🏼✨

Who’s with me? 🙋🏼‍♀️

H A P P Y A N N I V E R S A R Y 🥂

This day last year was pure winter MAGIC - I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to capture Jackson & Kailey’s Wedding day!

✨Merry Christmas✨

There is so much to be thankful for.

My prayer for you is that you are met with at least one life giving hug, a loving smile, and a kind word amongst the busyness, the cold, heartache and heaviness of expectation that the holiday season can sometimes bring. May you feel seen, heard and so incredibly loved.
Because you matter.

Hey there 👋🏼
I know it’s been a little quiet here for a bit, so just wanted to say hello! I’ve been busy helping so many of your spaces — entryway, family room, dining room, basement living room, even a local retail space! I have also been working hard to balance family time, a full-time job I love, friends, and hobbies. Thanks so much for supporting me & following along. Always feel free to reach out. If I can’t help you, I’m confident I can point you in the direction of someone who can! Enjoy this Christmas season with those you love ❤️
