Hello all! How have y’all been?!

I will be returning {after a long much needed break} starting in September rolling out FALL sessions!

I will be releasing these dates and times soon. If you want to be on the list, comment below!

Lastly, I will be returning back to Weddings full time for the 2024 year! 🥳 Brides! Start making your way onto my calendar before it fills up! Payment plans are available on all packages.

It’s been a minute, so if your seeing this, say ”hi” below too! I’ve missed y’all! 🥰

Hi y’all,

I have been privately messaging each and every one of you that has contacted me concerning about continuation of photography for me. I think a more formal announcement may help.

I have decided to take 2023 off the books. I have drastically cut back for the 2022 seasons and I am finishing any commitments I have at present.

With that being said, I do have plans to continue and I’m not sure when that time will be. I may possibly add pop up shoots or have an itch for a wedding in the 2023 year. Never know!

I do appreciate everyone being so respectful and understanding as I take 2023 as a time for me and my family. It has been a very hard year and right now I just want all my focus on them right now. ♥️

Thank you so kindly for the support.

With Love,

Whitney

I feel like I have known Ashley my whole life. She's one of those ladies who radiates sunshine. I call her a friend and I'm very thankful for her and I just love her family! I can't wait to celebrate your special day with you.

Thursday Throwback, way back! 😍

Brides! 👀👀

I was thiiiiisssss close to just throwing in the towel this year. . . I truly hate that feeling of defeat (not that I was defeated in photography - just life!). If I am being honest here, 2021 almost destroyed me. . .

Good news & some bad news. . . . I am NOT going to give up photography BUT I am going to cut WAYYYY back. I love photography and I love weddings! Weddings is my sweet spot.

This year I am limiting number of weddings I do. Just for this year alone I will not do back to back weddings or more than 2 weddings in a month.

This year my family needs me and I need them.

So, if you know a bride that needs a photographer, send them my way & lets make this 2022 Wedding Season the one to remember! 😍

01/29/2022

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz for not only choosing me as your photographer but for being my friend. I am more thankful for you guys than you know. My last wedding of the season and I’m so glad it was yours! Thank you for being amazing to me. ❤️

Please continue to bear with me as I am still trying to emotionally come to terms with my new life without my parents. When I come across these pictures to edit, it is bittersweet and I shed tears working through these.

I'm working as I can to get these last two wedding galleries to you all as quickly as I can.

Thank you all for reaching out and checking on me.

My business messenger has not been working for several days, I reached out to Facebook support to fix this last week, but it has not been resolved as of this morning.

If you need me directly, please text or email me.

Thanks!

!! Big Announcement !!

As I am approaching the end of wedding season of 2021 of year FIVE, I'm so excited to give an announcement that I have extended my photography business and I have became a Wedding Coordinator for your 2022 season!

What led to this decision? The past five years I have photographed more weddings than I can count. Every single wedding I saw somewhere where I could help other than being just their photographer. As the photographer, I would always remind everyone, "where's your rings? Did you sign your marriage certificate? Grab your bouquets! Let me make a timeline for you." I became in essence their coordinator as their photographer. After every wedding, I always received such wonderful compliments of keeping the wedding on track! So, this year, I became one and I am so happy to be able to offer this service additionally.

Don't worry, I'm still a wedding photographer!

I'm hoping to help guide brides in 2022 who already have a photographer that needs a little organization, staying on track, and not be stressed on their big day!

If you are needing a Wedding Coordinator for your 2022 wedding then feel free to click on the link below and lets chat!

Tag the brides!

As a wedding coordinator, I will make it my personal responsibility to make sure sure the wedding day is executed perfectly! I will oversee vendors, manage timeline for photos and events and overcome any last minute challenges that may arise during the festivities.

This was so much fun! 🤣

I cannot wait for their wedding! Eeeek!
