Downtown Biloxi, a handful of murals, afternoon light, and two night-shift nurses wildly in love.

Amanda & Brian spent their day off giggling, dancing in front of colorful murals, and sneaking into Marley's Music to flip through vinyl like it was their own little treasure hunt. They just... enjoy each other. Easy. Sweet. In love.

My kinda people, for sure. Their wedding next month at will be easy. Sweet. Magic. 💖

Thanks for allowing us to make some photos in your space. And I could use murals for every photo session.

So proud of my longtime friend and soul sister Heather Martin and the heart behind Ethotera Art Studio. This feature beautifully reflects the resilience, trial and error, and deep intention it’s taken to build something meaningful. I was honored to create these images for her story and to witness this chapter come to life. 🥰

Meet Heather Martin, owner of Ethotera Art Studio in Ocean Springs, MS.🎨🖼️✨

Heather’s entrepreneurial story is a testament to resilience, reinvention and the power of purpose.

After years spent teaching and working in museum administration, she made multiple attempts to launch her own creative business — each one ending before it could fully take shape. But those early missteps were the foundation of her success.

Now five years in, Martin shares the lessons she’s learned about planning, adaptability and trusting the process. Her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: Embrace the imperfect beginnings, stay flexible and root every decision in your purpose.

Family photos aren't just how they look, they're about how you *feel* while making them.

I know how stressful it can feel: not knowing what to do, worrying your kids won't "act right," or feeling awkward in front of the camera. That's why I've shaped my process to make things easier and a lot more fun.

✨ Don't know where to start? I'll send you inspo and location ideas that fit your vibe.

✨ Nervous about being photographed? I'll check in before and during your session and show you photos along the way, so you can relax.

✨ Worried about the wild kiddos? Trust me, the best moments happen when they're just being kids... the sillies, the meltdowns, and the giggles.

At the end of the day, you'll have more than pretty pictures. You'll have memories you and your kids will truly treasure.

Curious about my process or ready to book a fall session? Send me a message, and let's start planning.

And if we've worked together before, I'd really love if you shared your experience below. 💛

A quiet afternoon. Bare feet in the water. Love growing in every direction. Summer light, and a little creekside magic. Still can't get over the tenderness of this afternoon. 💛

Molly and Blake recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary! Their shared love for wildlife and nature brought them together, and their adventures have taken them all over. For now, they're calling the MS Gulf Coast home, so we met at East Beach to capture this special chapter in their story. Here's to many more beautiful memories! 💖
