Tryna hustle hard AND rest well these next 10 days 👏🏼 baby girls room is getting painted this afternoon!!! Still gotta install the car seat & wash all her cute little clothes. Working on this gallery & 3 others today…

In other words, there is LOTS to do, and my goal is to get it all done before thanksgiving (sorry HOW is that next week?!) but I’m feeling rested & motivated & excited to get it all done! Thankful for a weekend of rest to take away some of the anxiety I was feeling on Friday about it all. 🤍

I hope you move through this week knowing God is WITH you. Let Him be your strength & shield.

This is the worthwhile fight 💛

11/05/2021

I like to think I can do it all. The grocery shopping and keeping the house clean and delivering all the galleries on time & saying yes always to spending time with friends and family when they reach out/need me. I don’t like to let people down. Or maybe I just don’t like to let myself down, since I’m often the only one who’s set these high expectations on myself to do all the things. And then I wonder why I’m in a bad mood/on the verge of tears at the end of a week when I swear pregnancy brain is real and setting in and I’m not doing things efficiently and I can’t remember where I put something and I just sit on the ground and cry for a minute. That’s what happens I guess when you don’t slow down long enough to let your mind and heart catch up with each other. Even late at night my mind has just been racing in bed with all the things that need done. You can function like this for a little while but not forever.

So here’s a little encouragement to the distracted/overwhelmed hearts out there to take a break this weekend or as soon as you can (speaking to myself rn too) - turn off the phone, put away the to do list, get STILL ~ remember what it’s like to exist apart from your accomplishments. Remember who you are apart from your career, your productivity - strip away all the roles you walk in/hats you wear…

For me - when alll those things are taken away, I’m reminded that I am simply a child loved and chosen and pursued and delighted in by God. And my heart melts. My mind put at ease. I give Him the praise He deserved all along when my mind heart and body were preoccupied with little things that make me believe I’m okay/I’m making it. What a cheap sense of fulfillment. I’d trade all of that away for Jesus. Better is one day in His courts than thousands elsewhere. 🤍

Still a few openings left for Christmas Minis this Saturday, November 6th!!

Squeezing in one last day full of sessions before baby girl comes. Will have photos turned around by thanksgiving, just in time for my big Black Friday print sales to order those holiday cards 🙂

Dm me to book!

It’s 1:30am & I’m wide awake, so here are some of my favs from last weekend 🍂 especially loving ceremony shots lately 🥺

10/15/2021

I just adore engagement sessions & my couples & can’t believe this is my jobbbb 😍 these cuties got engaged in Chicago, so we headed downtown for those same city vibes. Findlay market was closed so we had the whole place to ourselves. The leaves were jusssst starting to change color. Ended the night sprinting through the rain for some margs. The perfect evening. I can’t wait to document their big day next fall :)

Some (most) wedding days barely even feel like work ~ Caitlin & Bo’s was one of those days 🤍 truly felt like I was just hanging out & celebrating with sweet friends as they said “I do”. LOVE U GUYSS

09/20/2021

Ended September with a bang with this beautiful day 🤍 & now closing in on my very last month of weddings before our girl arrives… which will also mark 2 full years of photographing weddings full time!

I could get real sappy but I’ve been trying to find words for over an hour now & my husband just got home with wings sooo we’ll save that for another time 👀✌🏼

09/10/2021

Third times a charm!! It was a JOYYY celebrating these two on Sunday. I had to share a few of my favs.

The most stunning venue (I’ve been dying to shoot here ever since I dreamed of having my own wedding here), the SWEETEST families (they literally invited me AND my husband to their rehearsal), and the most perfect pair ~ Becca & Nate, thank you for trusting me to photograph such a special & long awaited day.

09/03/2021

I love adventuring with my couples 💛 ft. a few of my favs from Emma & Darin’s sweet session in Yosemite

09/02/2021

I can’t wait to hang these photos up in our home 🥺

It was so refreshing hanging out on the other side of camera a couple weeks ago. This evening was one of the highlights of our babymoon/anniversary trip. Not just because of the photos, but because of the slow, sweet, uninterrupted time we got to spend together, just the two of us, meandering around the top of one of my favorite mountains.

This job is an honor. Being this man’s wife & little girl’s mama is an honor. Life is not perfect but man is it good 🌼

This past week left me feeling ~ small ~ in all sorts of ways

07/26/2021

May we never let the fear of pain hold us back from loving hard & deep & with everything in us.

07/22/2021

It’s funny how much I can’t shut up about how excited I am for fall, because I realized this morning, I’m sort of already in that season ~ a season of transition. This anticipation of change 🍂

Everything in my life feels just a little bit different. I can sense a subtle change in our home, my body, my career, my relationships. “In-between” is the best word I have for it all. And with that comes a mix of emotions.

Lord, help me behold the beauty in this season like I do the aspen trees in the fall.

SWOONING over this sweet collection of moments from last night’s garden wedding ✨

07/20/2021

Booked our babymoon :)) along with a lil photo session for the two of us while we’re away & I’m getting soooo excited to spend some time in the mountains again.

Got me reminiscing on all the beauty I got to soak in in Colorado last fall 🥺✨

sweet lil moments from saturday 🥺

06/13/2021

Oh BABY. We cannot wait to meet you in December.

First trimester has been a sweet season of secretly processing and praising God for the gift of another child - one of His own to love. While simultaneously welcoming all the tears that still come when I think of Emma - our first, who made me a momma. Who taught me a brand new depth of unconditional love. Who I won’t get to hold next month as I imagined, but who I know is held by her perfect Father in heaven. Been praying over this sweet babe, too - that they would also come to know and love and talk often to Jesus. His nearness to me is sweeter than life, sweeter than any gift he could ever provide.

We love you lots, little one. 🥰

Summer date night ideas ✨

Romantic picnic in the park (once the cicadas are gone tho of course)

Drive in movie + popcorn + white wine

Sweat together - go on a run, whoop some b***y in a game of tennis/sand volleyball/whatever your fav sport may be

Go on a bike ride & stop for lunch or drinks along the way

Kayaking!! One of my personal favs

Drop your fav summer date idea below 👇🌞

06/08/2021

This weekend felt like the first lil taste of summer 😛 Celebrated lots of love & soaked up lots of sun with 2 beautiful weddings & a 7 hour kayak trip with the family on Sunday.

Full heart. 💕 Tired, sunburnt body.

What is summer to you?

A sweet little collection from last Saturday’s elopement. All of Jennifer & Luigi’s family gathered in their backyard to witness them exchange vows ~ not only to each other, but to their children, as well. These are my favorite kind of days to photograph & be a part of. ❤️ Simple. Intimate. Family oriented. & filled with so much love. @ Cincinnati

05/24/2021

Started off last week with this sweet elopement in OC & been chasing all kinds of beauty out here since.

Not ready to go home tomorrow. My soul needed this lil break. @ The Harper

Halfway to my destination!! Fun fact: I hate flying. Loooove to travel. I just hate being in the air. (Which my friends think is hilarious, since I worked at Delta for a bit 😅) Praise the lord tho my first leg wasn’t too bad & I got so much editing done!!

Lots of transition going on in my world lately and so so thankful for my amazing clients who are trusting me & my process. If you’re waiting on a gallery, it’s coming soon, I promise!! Putting lots of love into every edit & cannot wait to deliver these beauts.

Tell me, you a fan of flying? What place is on the top your bucket list??

05/18/2021

Just got home from my first ever mentor session (part 1: the coffee date) & my heart is so full!! 🤍 There are hard parts to my job, like any. Long weekends & evenings away from my husband & backend biz things that I sometimes dread. But I was reminded tonight of the joys of my job. That feeling when you NAIL your edit & get happy texts in all caps back from brides.

I know God gifted me with an eye for beauty & a heart for making others feel seen. He has gifted YOU, too. With something unique & powerful. What’s stopping you from stepping into it?

It was so fun tonight getting to call out the talent I saw in Brook & give her the tools to help her step more confidently into her gift for photography. I can’t wait for part 2: the shoot 😍

Also, real quick, can we all just agree that these two are the most beautiful couple you ever did see? @ Kentucky

05/03/2021

That just-married, “that’s my WIFEEE” kinda feeling.
