I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this because, truthfully, I don’t know that I’m completely ready to. But I also believe there is power in transparency, even when that transparency feels uncomfortable.

Recently, I received a few different diagnoses that finally gave me answers to things I’ve been struggling with for the last several years. Having answers brought some relief, but accepting what those answers mean for my everyday life; and what they may mean moving forward; has taken me longer than I expected.

I also feel like I owe a certain level of transparency to the clients and followers who have supported me, especially those who may have noticed that I haven’t been as visible lately. I could wait until I’ve completely processed everything and found the perfect words, but the truth is, I’m still figuring it out. And maybe there’s power in being honest about that, too.

I’m learning that my body doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. I have really good days, and I have days where normal things take far more out of me than they should. Certain types of sessions are harder on me physically than others and can put me down for quite a bit longer afterward. I can push through but my body makes sure I know about it later.

As we head into my busiest season of the year, I think it’s important to be open about the fact that busy season may look a little different this year than it has in years past. I may need more space between sessions, I may have to say no when I normally would have squeezed one more thing in, and there may be times when responses, galleries, or behind-the-scenes things move a little slower.

That’s difficult for me to admit because slowing down has never been something I’m particularly good at.

But I’m still here. I’m still working. I’m still pushing through, and I still love what I do just as much as I always have. I’m simply learning how to do it while also navigating things that have changed what daily life looks like for me.

I’m not ready to share every detail, and maybe that’s the point of this post. Transparency doesn’t have to mean sharing every piece of something deeply personal. Sometimes it simply means being honest enough to say, I’m going through something. I’m adjusting. And I’m doing the best I can.

So I’m choosing transparency before I necessarily feel ready for it. Not for sympathy, but for understanding, patience, and maybe a little grace as I learn what this new chapter looks like.

I’m still me. Still creating. Still showing up. Still incredibly grateful for every person who continues to trust me with their memories.

Things may just look a little different from here and I’m slowly learning that different doesn’t have to mean less. 🤍

Let's get you booked today before the business of back to school begins.

The past 10 days, my camera took a backseat while I got to experience something even more special… just being Mom.

Jaycee had the incredible honor of representing not only our community, but the entire West Region at the USSSA All American Games in Florida. Watching her compete against and alongside some of the most elite athletes in the country was something I’ll truly never forget.

She came home as a Gold Bracket 3rd Place All American, but more importantly, she proved that she earned every bit of the opportunity she was given. She showed she belonged on that field.

She made big plays, battled through adversity, handled mistakes with grace, celebrated her teammates, and competed with heart every single inning. She didn’t let the stage become too big...she rose to meet it.

This trip was about so much more than softball. It was her first airplane ride, her first time seeing the ocean, and memories we’ll carry with us forever.

To every single person who booked a session, bought raffle tickets, bought donuts, shared our fundraiser, prayed for us, or simply cheered her on from home… thank you. Your support helped make this dream possible.

Now it’s time to get back behind the camera, and I couldn’t be more excited to capture your stories again. Thank you for supporting my small business, because moments like this remind me that your support reaches far beyond photographs.

Photography Session Raffle!

THANK YOU to everyone who shared the raffle, purchased a ticket, or simply sent kind words of encouragement. Your support truly means the world to us and helps make this opportunity possible. ❤️

Today is your final opportunity to grab your raffle tickets! The drawing will take place this evening at 6:00 PM.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has shared the raffle, purchased a ticket, or simply sent kind words of encouragement. Your support truly means the world to us and helps make this opportunity possible.

As many of you know, photography is my business but being a mom will always be my greatest joy. ❤️

Next weekend, Jaycee and I leave for the USSSA Fastpitch All American Games in Florida, where we’ll spend 9 days making memories that will last a lifetime.

But this trip is about so much more than softball.

Jaycee has never flown on an airplane, never seen the ocean, and never been to the beach. With six other siblings at home, opportunities like this don’t come around often, making this experience even more special.

She has worked incredibly hard to earn the opportunity to be 1 of only twenty seven 13u athletes to represent the West Region(which encompases 10 Western states), and I couldn’t be more proud of the athlete; and more importantly, the young woman she has become.

Just a few highlights from her 2025-26 season:

🥎 99 Plate Appearances
🔥 .603 Batting Average
💥 1.795 OPS
⚡ 61 Stolen Bases
💣 9 Doubles
🚀 8 Triples
🏟️ 1 Home Run
🧤 .988 Fielding Percentage
🙌 73 Putouts

But those numbers don’t tell the whole story.

This season, she expanded her game by adding left-handed slapping and is now developing left-handed power hitting, making the transition toward becoming a true switch hitter. She also stepped behind the plate whenever her team needed her. While her heart has always been in the outfield and at third base, she never hesitated to do whatever was best for her team. That versatility, selflessness, and willingness to keep learning are what make me the proudest.

One of the most exciting parts is that the USSSA All American Games will be televised! We’ll share the schedule and viewing information as soon as it’s released so everyone can cheer her on from home.

To help offset the final expenses for this incredible opportunity, I’m raffling off one of my photography sessions!
