Somehow we’re already well into the 2026 wedding season and I realized… I haven’t shared a SINGLE wedding from this year yet…

So, let’s start with this beautiful day from back in May. 🤍

What a way to begin the 2026 wedding season. From the quiet getting-ready moments to the laughter, the happy tears, the sweet little details, and all the moments in between — this day was so full of love.

And honestly, one of the most beautiful parts of this day was how evident God was throughout it. In the laughter, the prayers, the quiet moments, and the joy — His presence was felt, and it made this day all the more special to witness. 🤍

I’m so grateful I got to be there to document it.

And while I’m apparently just getting around to sharing my 2026 weddings… 2027 wedding bookings are already rolling in!

Here’s to finally showing you some of the beautiful days I’ve been lucky enough to capture this year.

Realizing I never shared any of my Mother’s Day minis… and somehow it’s August now 😩

This sweet family has been coming back for THREE years now, and these girls seriously have my heart. 🤍

Also, please see slide 4 for the bloopers because these girls absolutely crack me up 😂

Yes, I know it’s August and I’m still posting June grads 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

BUT we’re nearing the end of my grad-posting era, so let me have this one 😌🎓

This summer has been SO full in the best way, and I’ve got so many sessions, stories, and beautiful people still waiting to make their way onto this little corner of the internet.

So for now… one more grad 👏🏼 and then we’ll get back to everything else I’ve been up to this summer in the photography world! 📸✨

I don’t think I’ll ever get over this gallery… 🤍

I’ve known Joy her whole life, and getting to photograph such a special season for her was an incredible privilege. She radiates such effortless beauty, but what I admire most is her heart. She is a woman who loves the Lord, and that shines through in everything she does.

Congratulations, Joy. It has been so sweet watching you grow into the amazing young woman you are today. 🤍

Not every grad session comes with this much history. 💙

Our families have been friends since before we were born, so getting to photograph Paige’s graduation felt extra meaningful. Thank you for letting me be a small part of such an exciting season!

Congratulations, Paige! ✨

Okay… this one has been on my photography bucket list for a while. ✨Ever since the Housekeeping Speakeasy opened at Elkhorn Resort, I’ve been waiting for the right session. Tylee stepped in and absolutely brought this vision to life. I don’t think we could’ve made these any more perfect. 😍🤍🎓
