I think I’d spend a while trying to choose. There’s the moment I held my baby for the first time. The time when Julio and I said I do in front of our loved ones. And then there are the ordinary afternoons I’d give anything to have one more of.

Before we get swept up in the holidays, I want to take the long way home while there’s still color in the trees. Let the kids stop for every leaf they want to show me. Sit outside a little longer, even when it’s cold enough to need a sweater.

I’m grateful I get to be here for this part, too 🍂

Olivia & Clay, I cannot wait for your big day this Saturday! 😍

Until then, a few sweet, whimsical moments from their summer engagement session in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A little fairy-garden magic with these two 🧚

Reminiscing on this misty mountain elopement 🤍

These two dreamed of being tucked away among the balsams for their intimate Asheville mountain elopement. With their mothers officiating and the mountains wrapped in mist, they exchanged their vows.

A few glimpses of life lately 🤍

This season has been full, and I’ve been a little quieter here. Between wedding days, editing, and being mama, there’s been a lot happening on this side of the screen.

Stress can be a big thing during harvest season as a wedding photographer.

Anytime I can take time off, I do my best to. I intentionally get out of the house because otherwise, there’s always something to do.

Rest is so necessary to recharge. To fill your cup.

Little outings, coffee breaks without having to reheat my coffee 🙌, playful photoshoots with the kiddos, and staying rooted in His Word are some of the ways I find rest.

These little breaks help me enjoy the process, including the editing, of the work that I love 🤍

The loud, the quiet, and everything in between.

The dancing, the laughter, the little moments that happen when no one’s paying attention.

A wedding reception is so much more than a party. It’s a room full of your favorite people, celebrating a love that brought everyone together.

And there’s something so beautiful about that 🤍

A little creative freedom goes a long way.

Some of my favorite frames happen when my couples trust me to see things a little differently. A little movement, unexpected compositions, and room to play.

The art of storytelling, with an editorial touch 🤍

From the very first time we walked into The Gathering Church , they were a blessing to us.

The Knights are the kind of family who gives so freely, loves people so genuinely, and leaves a little light everywhere they go. The way they love and serve others reflects Jesus so beautifully.

Robert Knight has led people in worship, and after Hurricane Helene, April and he put their boots on the ground to work building homes and helping families who had lost so much in the storm. April Knight is an incredibly talented artist who creates beautiful things for His glory. And together, they’ve been such a beautiful example of what it looks like to use what God has given you to love and serve others well.

I hope these photos always bring them back to this little chapter of their lives in the mountains 🤍

We love you guys dearly. Wherever God takes you next, I know you’ll continue leaving little sparks of light everywhere you go.

Going outside with my dear ones in search of a little happiness. Never fails 🤍

So this particular session holds a very special place in my heart because of Lindy’s family, the Chapmans 🤍

This family has been there for Julio and me since we got married 11 years ago. They made us feel so welcome when we lived in Cleveland, TN, and through their example of how they live and keep God at the center of their family, they’ve become true role models for us.

Even though life and distance have taken us in different directions, they will always hold a special place in our hearts.

And now, their first daughter is getting married. 🥹 We are over the moon to be there for this beautiful chapter in their lives and so grateful that I got to capture this season for Lyndi and Lucas.

We can’t wait to celebrate with them this December! 🤍

A little solitude before the ceremony.

After their first look, Brooke & Jonathan took a few quiet moments together inside Lake Junaluska Chapel. No rush, no crowd. Just the two of them before walking into the part of the day they had been waiting for.

There’s something so special about making room for stillness on a wedding day 🤍
