• This is literally goals for me. Being able to capture that “throw your head back and laugh” moment is gold to me. These two just welcomed their sweet baby girl into the world & it is so fun to be able to watch as the two people I watched dance and laugh their way into their first moments of forever also walk the path of expanding their hearts into parenthood! Life is such a beautiful thing ☀️

  • This my friends is you looking at the very first image (okay maybe like one of the very firsts) I ever took with my “fancy” camera. It’s 2011 and after taking out a $300 loan with my dad, my Nikon D3500 arrived with its kit lens and I photographed the first thing I could find...a flower in my moms garden! I didn’t learn to shoot that camera in manual, ever. It wasn’t until I upgraded 2 years later that I learned how to use manual mode and really started to dive into what makes a good photographer. I still feel like to this day I am learning and relearning what makes someone a good photographer. It’s 100% more than being able to take a great photo (although that is important too). So tell me, what do you think makes a good photographer good? 🌷

  • Hi Instagram! My name is Isla and I make my mom melt into a million pieces every day. She always calls me tootsie roll and likes to tell me a million times a day that she loves me! I’m just one month away from turning two years old & my mom thinks she will explode because life is moving at galaxy speed! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite things right now are Mickey and Minnie Mouse, puzzles, and making Mom and Dad laugh. I like to say “I funny” which makes my mom laugh even harder! I know all my letters and can count to 13 on my own which I am very proud of and my parents are too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am excited to take family photos this summer because I will get to take them with my sister! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Insert mom MARY bawling her eyes out here 😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭)

  • Currently sitting here missing the ocean. I mean I know I’m only a little ways away from the Ocean here in Washington but it isn’t the same as the beaches and sun and warmth that we had in NC! Basically dreaming of the days of sunscreen and permanently sandy toes 😍

  • I love this photo because of many things. The fact my sister took it with having no idea what she is doing, also that I’m pretty sure @merryteam.holly is laughing at me because she was questioning her decision to work with me and my craziness, and that this wall is one of my favorites of all time because you would never think to use it! We were about 6 months into having Holly join the team during these & as we prepare for this years head shots it makes me so excited because so many life changes will have happened for us both at that time! (And also because Bri Bri is in them too and she makes everything sweeter and more fun 😘) ❤️ #merryteam

  • Detail photos: as a bride you either love them or could care less about them. I love my own wedding detail photos so much because there were so many details I would have forgotten about, such as using my grandmother’s makeup, or having both my grandma’s and grandpa’s wedding rings in my bouquet! I also spent SO much time choosing my heels and they are the only heels I still own (other than my pageant heels because I think I’ll hold onto those forever) 🤣 So, were you / are you a detail oriented bride? What was your favorite thing to pick out?? 💍

  • Kind of fell off the face of the earth because this cold/flu/whatever bug has basically made me fall off the face of the earth 🤣 Most people have told me it lasts 10 ish days and we are on day 7 and it feels like I was born with this because it’s so miserable 😝 So it’s been a lot of water, tissues, humidifiers, movies and tears around here & I figured a pretty photo was better than my face at this moment of time 😂
