  • Ummmm you guys are the best!!! 😭🙆🏼‍♀️ Thank you thank you for all the sweet comments, messages & support! Seriously feeling so warm & fuzzy after launching my new website/branding on Friday. Took a long weekend off of work and social media & it felt so good to just ENJOY accomplishing something instead of switching gears to the next goal right away. Anyone else like that?? 😅 Also, I’m going to pick the giveaway winner at the end of this week - so if you’d like to throw your name in the hat to win a free session, enter on my last post! 🥳

  • Wedding Wisdom Wednesday 🥳 Something to consider when planning an outdoor ceremony ☀️ is where the sun will be! No one wants to be sweating through their ceremony, OR have photos with HARSH bright light & shadows on their faces. Talk with your photographer & venue coordinator/wedding planner when choosing time & location! 1) Diffused light is the most flattering! This is usually achieved by either being sheltered by trees or having your ceremony at a time when the sun is lower. 2) If your spot isn’t shaded by trees, plan your ceremony closer to golden hour (5pm+) for a better angle of the sun for ideal light! 3) Choose a spot where the sun will be setting behind you versus in front of you! This will create better light for pretty photos ✨ Leave your questions or additional advice below! 👇🏻

  • Happy Mother’s Day to the best 💛 she is genuine, hilarious, gives the best advice and is always there to have fun or be a shoulder to cry on! I can’t wait to become a mom so that I can appreciate you even more than I already do 🥰 (and no I will never stop sharing wedding pics lol)

  • Let’s talk about bridal portraits 🤩 one of my favorite parts of the day because we get to spend some time just focusing on YOU!! Here’s how to make the most of them: 1) DON’T RUSH IT. I always build in some extra cushion into the timeline so that after your mama helps you get into your dress, we can spend a little time getting photos of just you & your details - your dress, that gorg veil, your bouquet, etc. These are the photos your daughter will love to see someday - in all your feminine beauty 😍 2) NATURAL LIGHT IS QUEEN. If you pick a venue with an AMAZINGLY beautiful & bright bridal suite like @thecapitolroom (💯) that makes my job super easy (& fun!) If you’re getting ready at a hotel or at home, all I need is a large window letting in indirect light (we don’t want direct sun) for super flattering light. 3) TIMELESS + YOUR UNIQUE STYLE = GOLD. Intentionally choose bridal style elements that are true to you while ALSO being timeless - too many elements can look busy and not as elegant! I’m a huge fan of wearing what YOU love - not feeling pressure to do what’s trendy or what your mom did. Timeless (think simple) & unique photographs SUPER well! Gonna start a new thing - Wedding Wisdom Wednesday (because who doesn’t love alliteration 😂) What topics would you like me to chat about next time? Let me know in the comments👇🏻

  • My parents are celebrating 29 (!!!) years of marriage today 🥳🥰 Grateful to have grown up with them as my example... to see that marriage isn’t a fairytale, but it is the deep, loyal friendship that makes the good times even better, and sustains you through the hardest of times. There was always a lot of laughter and hugs in our house, even when things were hard. This is probably random and a little weird BUUUT — one of my warmest memories from childhood was listening to them whisper and giggle together as they fell asleep - the best sound to fall asleep to 😌 Swipe for a photo of them on their wedding day (check out those sleeves) and one of my favorite candids of them from our wedding day. Love you two 🥰
