Rachel & Luke holding back tears 🥺💛 Sometimes during an engagement session I ask my couple to practice their first dance 🥰 I play their song (having a Bluetooth speaker at sessions is a game-changer) and encourage them to just be in the moment, memorize how it feels, and picture what this will feel like on their actual wedding day. It’s often a quiet, slow, emotional time. Sometimes even tears come to the surface when you can’t help but feel so grateful for your person 💛 These photos are some of my favorites and it reminds me again what an honor it is to facilitate and capture these moments ✨ 
Oh hey! Just putting the final touches on my session calendar for the whole YEAR! 🤩 You’ll be able to see my 2021 availability for portrait sessions & mini sessions - and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Trying to have some healthier boundaries in business this year so I can have more time to spend with friends & family on nights and weekends - it’s so easy to let work take over when your work is as fun as mine is! 😉😍 If you want first dibs on sessions, be sure to sign up for my email list - link in bio 💛 
Throwback to these cuties at their snowy engagement session 2 years ago! 🥰 
Happy Wednesday! I’m going to be MIA today as I’m doing a little business “deep work” day, diving into lots of spreadsheets 🤓 brainstorming, dreaming, planning, and strategizing for the year! Phone is silenced, email is on snooze until the end of the day, and maybe just maybe Hank and Belle will give me a few uninterrupted hours 😂 I’ll also be releasing my available portrait dates & mini sessions for the year soon 🥳 so excited for this year!!! Shot for @maritwilliamsphoto ✨ 
🙆🏼♀️ Booking update! I’m only a few weddings away from closing my 2021 openings. I only take a certain number of weddings per year so that I can be at my very best for each and every one and be there supporting you throughout the process!! 💛 Check out my stories today for the specifics of which dates are still available. And, 2022 bookings are in full swing! 🥳 If you’re planning to get married in 2021/2022 don’t hate me but... don’t wait on booking your vendors! Once we are out of the woods with the pandemic, errrrybody who waited is going to be getting married & vendors will fill up much earlier than normal. 💍 
Hard to believe a year ago today I was in Dallas capturing Zak & Christine’s engagement photos! I was bingeing Love is Blind on the plane ride home 😂 and had no clue in a few short weeks later our world would be flipped on it’s axis for the next year. So thankful to look back and appreciate these memories with such wonderful people, and I know this year will make me appreciate travel, unmasked social outings, hugs, etc all the more when we are able again 😌 Sending so much love to these two especially, as they’ve also been affected by the destructive freezing weather over the past week 😣💛 
A few from baby Chloe’s newborn session yesterday 😌 it’s becoming a new favorite of mine to capture newborns + their new parents 🥰 it’s a sacred little season to be welcomed into, often full of steep learning curves, rollercoasters of raw emotions and a renewed sense of wonder. It’s an honor to capture these quiet, fully present moments for them to treasure for years to come 💛 
Yesterday was a silly-yet-special little holiday in our house, our “swipe-iversary” 🐝 😂 We swiped right on each other on @bumble four years ago - I complimented his tattoos and was secretly crushing on his muscles from the gym selfies in his profile 🤣🤣 #classy Our first date they shut the lights off on us because we stayed so late talking 😬 and then Jay walked me to my car and gave me a single red rose and asked for a second date 🥰 such a romantic!! Swipe for the selfie we took on our first date! 🤓 can’t believe how different we look already! Also, any other @bumble couples out there??🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ Thank you for these photos @uppercaselphotography 😘
