📸 A LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY PAGE CHECK-IN 🤍

Hey y’all! It’s been a little bit since I’ve popped on here, so I wanted to check in and remind everyone… I’m still here, and I’m still shooting! 🥰

Life has just been LIFE lately! 😂 I have tons of editing that I’m working through every single day, while also training for a new job, still working my current job, and trying to soak up every bit of quality time with my babies before school starts back Monday.

My goodness… how did summer fly by THAT fast?! I swear we just started!

I also know I’ve been a little behind on posting sneak peeks. So, if you haven’t seen your session posted, please don’t panic! 😂 Your photos are still coming! I’ve honestly found that it’s much quicker to get galleries delivered straight to my clients rather than taking the extra time to post every single session on the page. And y’all have definitely kept me BUSY!

I’ve had several people message me asking if I’m still doing photography, and I’m so sorry for any confusion! As of right now, YES! 📸❤️

This economy is tough, and I’m still working toward paying off those medical bills, so I’m incredibly thankful for every single person who has trusted me with their memories, booked with me, recommended me, shared my posts, or simply cheered me on. Y’all have helped me more than you probably realize, and I truly appreciate you.

I am still cutting back a little, though, because I want to make sure I’m giving myself at least one weekend off each month to slow down and enjoy some much-needed time with my babies and my family.

So right now, I’m back to doing three jobs total + photography on weekends, all while being a wife and mama. And I’m not going to lie… it’s DRAINING. 😂 But it’s also incredibly rewarding, and I’m thankful God continues to give me the strength to keep going.

And we are officially COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS until our beach trip in October! 🌊☀️ We had to reschedule our summer trip, so you better believe we are ready for some family time and a little sunshine!

🌿 FALL GREENHOUSE MINIS ARE COMING! 🌿
The first weekend of October, and I still have several time slots available!

If you’ve been wanting updated family photos, pictures of the babies, couples, maternity, or just some beautiful fall memories, this is your chance! 🍂📸

I’ll drop the booking link below! 👇🏻

And PLEASE… don’t stop recommending me! 🥹❤️ Word of mouth means so much to my little photography business, especially during this season of life.

Thank you for being patient with me, continuing to support me, and trusting me with your memories. I may be a little quiet on here sometimes, but I promise…

I’m still behind the camera. I’m still editing. I’m still booking. And I’m still so incredibly thankful for y’all.

Now somebody tell me how we went from summer vacation to back-to-school in the blink of an eye?! 😭

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Santana! 🤍

On July 10th, Nikki & Joel Santana said “I do” surrounded by family and friends who traveled from across the country and even from other parts of the world to celebrate their love. It was such a beautiful day at Chestnut Falls, with perfect weather and one of the most Christ-centered ceremonies I’ve had the privilege of witnessing. You could truly feel God moving throughout every moment.

Nikki and Joel have two of the biggest hearts. Their love for each other overflows into the lives of everyone around them, and it’s evident in the way they serve others with kindness and grace. Their love story is the kind you read about in a storybook—filled with faith, joy, and purpose.

It was such an honor getting to know them and to capture one of the most important days of their lives. Nikki and Joel, thank you for trusting me not only to photograph your wedding day, but to tell your story. I pray God richly blesses your marriage as you begin this beautiful new chapter together.

“Let all that you do be done in love" - 1 Corinthians 16:14✨

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, faith, and countless blessings. May your home always be filled with Christ’s peace and your hearts forever be turned toward one another.

Some evenings just feel like a dream… and Ashley & Russell’s engagement session was one of them. ✨🤍

The creek, the soft light, and these two together created the sweetest, most magical setting. They were so kind, so easy to photograph, and the love they share shines through every single image.

I’m so incredibly happy for you both and grateful I had the opportunity to capture this special season in your lives. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and beautiful adventures together. Congratulations, Ashley & Russell! 💍🤍

On the most beautiful June 20th afternoon at The Everlasting Pond in Watertown, Tennessee, these two promised forever surrounded by the sweetest family and friends. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, but what made this day truly unforgettable was the joy that filled every moment.

It was one of those weddings that felt so relaxed and genuine. No stress—just laughter, happy tears, and people who showed up with so much love and support for this incredible couple. The dance floor was full, the smiles were endless, and the celebration was one for the books.

And then there’s Mike… the way he looks at Becky says everything. His face completely lights up every single time he sees her, and it’s impossible not to smile watching the love he has for her. Becky is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and the way she loves Mike is just as evident.

These are the kinds of weddings that remind me why I love what I do. It’s never just about beautiful photos—it’s about preserving the moments, the emotions, and the beginning of a forever that deserves to be remembered.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. 💍 Thank you for trusting me to capture such a joyful, love-filled day. I cannot wait to share more from this unforgettable celebration! ✨

The Dueñez Family 💛

There is something so special about getting to watch little ones grow through my lens. From one milestone to the next, it's such an honor to preserve these moments that pass by far too quickly.

This sweet girl is truly one of the happiest little babies, and her smiles are absolutely contagious! Watching her personality shine a little more with every session has been such a joy.

Thank you, Gabby Kirby Dueñez & Nicholas, for trusting me to capture your memories through each season of life. These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do so much.

"Sometimes the smallest feet leave the biggest footprints on our hearts." ✨
