Before the big moment, there’s a quiet confidence in the groom’s preparation. The steady hands adjusting a cufflink, the deep breath before buttoning the jacket, the slow roll of the cuff, the precise knot of the tie, the weight of the moment settling in. It’s more than just a suit—it’s a statement. Each detail tells a story of anticipation, excitement, and love. Cool. Collected. Completely in his element. Today, he doesn’t just show up—he arrives. Here’s to the moments before “I do,” where the journey truly begins.

An oldie but goodie!!! I don’t post enough of my family sessions and I really don’t know why. Family sessions are so special and paired with in the comfort of your own home really adds a little special twist to your photos. One of a kind special memories -the more chaos the better!!! Since this session this family has added 2 more kiddos to the mix. And every year we have done a session for them! We mix it up between in home and outdoors. But secretly, their in home sessions are my favorite!

Happy new year!! And HI everyone!!!

So this post comes once a year- but I really need to be better at posting my photos- I say it every year- “this is going to be the year I post more and stay connected with all of you amazing loyal followers!” The reality is, it’s hard! If I’m shooting a ton and loving on all of you in real life, my social media is falling behind. And when I am active constantly on social media, real life connections get pushed aside.

Finding balance is hard! How do you all do it? Because I need to find that Yin-Yang to life!

What I did do, was take a little time off after the holidays, to be with family. It was much needed and I’m so glad I did because my babies ended up getting super sick and both wound up in the hospital due to dehydration. Everyone is ok now and we are all back to our previously scheduled programming aka they are back to their crazy little selves! Happy to have them this way than the alternative!

As for everyone awaiting their galleries- thank you for being kind during the holidays and allowing this momma a little down time with her family! I am back to the grind and so excited to get these galleries out soon!!!

But for now- I leave you with this fierce couple! It’s always an amazing time when I get to shoot with this pretty lady!!! And now with her FIANCÉ!

Literally obsesses!!! Winter sunsets just hit different!!! Softer skies, richer colors, and a golden hour that feels like it was made for romance, literally! Add a beachside wedding, and you’ve got magic in every direction. Who needs summer when love warms our hearts! I’m here for all the winter sunsets!! This day in particular the tide was super low and the sun was so orange it looked like it was glowing!!!!

As the day begins, there’s a gentle calm that settles over everything. The whirlwind of planning is behind you, and now, it’s just you, surrounded by love and anticipation. There’s a quiet joy in the air, a sense of peace that comes from knowing that in just a few hours, you’ll be standing before your future husband or wife, ready to start a new chapter together.

As you prepare, every detail feels meaningful—the way the light filters through the window, the soft rustle of your attire, the heartfelt words exchanged with those closest to you. This is the calm before the most beautiful moment, where excitement and serenity blend together.

The thought of seeing your future spouse fills you with a deep, peaceful certainty. It’s not just about the vows you’ll take, but the life you’re about to build together. In this quiet time, you feel connected to something larger, a love that is both grounding and uplifting. Between the chaos there is a sense of serenity.

And then, the time comes. You take a breath, and with a heart full of love and peace, you’re ready to meet the person who will be by your side for the rest of your life.

This wedding is reminding me that summer is going to be a hot one and I probably will want to spend most of it near water if possible!!!!! so if you have room by your pool and you wanna hang out, let a girl know! I will be coming accompanied with a wild boy and the snuggliest / happiest baby girl!

💗 I could shoot maternity sessions everyday for the rest of my life and be happy!

💗 Growing up, I was told it would be a miracle if I could ever conceive. After a horrific accident in fourth grade when I fell out of a tree and had a branch go through my abdomen, I was left with tons of scar tissue after their pieced me back together. At the age of 27 I started having complications with my hormones which then led the doctors to telling me I was infertile. I went on hormone replacement therapy in hopes of correcting my broken body. They told me my chances of having children were slim, and that I’d likely have to seek alternate options if I wanted to have children. Well, Here I am two children later and to say I’m blessed is an understatement. They are my little miracles that some how formed from my broken body.

💗 Pregnancy is such an incredible experience that there are not enough words in this world to describe it. What our bodies are capable of is truly magical. That doesn’t mean everyone enjoys being pregnant. But there is no denying that the process of growing life from within our bodies is anything short or spectacular!

💗 💗💗Tag your favorite mom in the comments! Let’s celebrate all the moms out there!!!
