Shot the sweetest Elopement for Thomas & Alainna two weeks ago! It was especially sweet since the most important part to them was spending time with their family, after the ceremony, wine tasting & picnicing at the gorgeous @kingfamilyvineyards ! The day was perfect; Breezy, bright, and meaningfulβjust like their relationship. π Not even covid could stop them from forever together. ππ» Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

I need to take a moment to tell you that....β β In the midst of allllllll theπ© this year has brought, I have been blessed with some i.n.c.r.e.d.i.b.l.e. clients. Y'all, I am ASTOUNDED at how flexible and gracious all of my couples, seniors, and fellow creatives have been during this season! If you are/have ever been one of my clients, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, understanding and adjusted expectations. While 2020 has been difficult in so many respects, you've made it immeasurably better by your love & support. I and my fellow small business owners appreciate you more than you know. Thank you 1000x over. Love you fam. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

This weekend left me pondering freedom in a different way... β βββ β βββ I've come to realize that our greatest freedom comes not from our country, our gov policies, or by things manufactured with human hands. β βββ β βββ No, our greatest freedom lies within the cross and our ability to walk in relationship with God because of itβfreedom because of the ultimate price, paid by his son Jesus. β βββ β βββ He died a criminals death so that we wouldn't have to. We we're dead in our sin and slaves to it. He took all our sin on himself and was crushed, so we wouldn't be. So we could have the chance to never taste true deathβeternal separation from Him. This, is freedom. This, is love. β βββ β βββ We're no longer slaves to this world or our own desires. This love frees us from our slavery to self, our rights, our comforts, our desires β to the servanthood of Christ & others. β βββ β βββ We we're freed not to go our own way, but to go the way of Christ! The way that pursues Him, His love, His mercy, His justice, and His peace. Not our own. Because we and this world are dead without Him. And spiritual death is far worse than any temporary death the world could give. β βββ "Independent of what comes, we are dependant upon God & that is the greatest freedom of all." β Ann Voskampβ βββ β βββ May we remember we need Christ just as much on our best days, as we do on our worst, and walk in the freedom that cannot be stolen by this world or any of its trials. β€οΈ

Tell me, what are you grateful for right now? ππ»ππ»β£ β£ I'm starting this Tuesday with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for Jesus and His provision these last 3 months. Nothing in guaranteed but I know I can trust my unknown future to a known God. Quarantine hasn't been cakewalk for any of us. Staying connected while physically apart has been a challenge, and listening/learning in the last month has stretched my heart to practice awareness & compassion. As hard as it's been, I'm thankful for the growth I've experienced and pray it continues. β¨

βA father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.β β Unknown β β£ β£ To those who have been lights for us, we thank you. Your faithfulness, courage, and bold faith is the fire that ignites our own and burns bright! To those who're missing their dads, have a strained or non-existent relationship, or are grieving the loss of their parent/childβyou are not forgotten. We see you. We hear your heart and we pray that you are reminded throughout this time that you are loved beyond comprehension by a heavenly father who knows you fully and will neither leave you nor forsake you. β€οΈ

β£ Took some time away from posting to process, pray, and press into God's word the last 3 weeks. To be honest I can't wrap my head around everything happening in or around me. So for now I'm still learning. Still listening. And still standing together with my brothers and sisters in the love and unity of Jesus Christ. I want to be sensitive during this time while also continuing to provide for myself. I haven't wanted to post anything because I feared detracting from what was important. But the truth is my business is important too and I'm here to serve & love all of you the best way I know how; by showing up. I'll be back to share more the next few weeks, while remaining respectful of this space and the messages of those I share it with. β β£β£ Thank you for being here.π β β£β£ β β£β£ βAbove all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful.ββ β£β£ ββColossiansβ¬ β3:14-15β¬ β

Not even Rona can stop this girl! ππ» π₯³π Megan graduated from UMBC yesterday but came all the way to #fxbg to do her session at UMW where she originally started (and where our friendship began!). SWIPE ππ» for my faves where she shotgunned a πΊ. Seemed only fitting to incorporate some Corona's even if we did forget the lime. ππΌββοΈ πβπ»

What have you missed most during quarantine? This beautiful weather has me missing all the weddings, portrait sessions, and elopements a little extra this week. I miss my sweet clients and I miss worshipping at church the most. π What's the first thing you're gonna do when quarantine lifts & you can go out for more than groceries? π€©

β£β£ This one is for the women who...β β£β£β£ Spent sleepless nights changing diapers and doing feedings. Fix every conceivable boo-booβincluding but not limited toβbroken bones, broken hearts, scraped knees, disappointments, bad attitudes, tantrums, and so. much. more. Who've loved their children through every season, good, bad or ugly.β β£β£β£ β β£β£β£ The ones who've loved those who aren't flesh and blood, but so willingly expand their hearts and make room to graft them deep inside.β β£β£β£ β£ The ones who long to hold a child, while their body and heart have been to hell and back in the ache of loss and waiting.β£ β£ The ones who just found out they're going to be a first time parent and are stepping into a new season with joy!β β£β£β£ β£ The ones who aren't married or who've chosen a different path altogether, yet display the strength and love of a mother and prove that it doesn't come solely from physically birthing a childβrather from it being instilled by their creator when they were knit together in their own mother's wombs.β β£β£β£ β β£β£β£ The ones who have strained or non-existent relationships with their Mom's. β£ β£ The ones who grieve loss extra hard when this day makes it's way round the calendar each year.β β£β£β£ β β£β£β£ To all of you, you are seen, not forgotten, fully loved, and so, SO valuable. To those around you and to the one who made you. Your joy is allowed and equally, so is your pain. This might be two days late, but I hope we all take more than just one day of the year to pay homage to you warriors of love, hope, grit, and deep faith. Whatever season you're in, I pray that Jesus would meet you fully in it. It's an honor to watch you walk each of your journeys. β€οΈ
