Safe to say, I’m loving my new camera set up 🤤

The new Sony & 50-150 lens is really drenching my little creative heart with a new flow state of mind 😊

Slowly sharing more of my work little by little. Truth is, PPD/A has been tricky when it comes to sharing in general. A lot of my energy goes into taking care of myself and our baby girl right now. I’m starting to feel more like myself again even if just a tiny amount day as each day goes by.

I feel a real sense of change in my work and it’s something I feel incredibly tied to. Telling stories is what this is all about for me. Creating photos that you can feel.

Anyway, here’s to sharing personally and more of my work as of late and gosh even some from last year, too. Following my artist heart from here out. I love, love 💛

May is Preeclampsia awareness month.

This is my story of something I had no idea even existed: Post Partum Preeclampsia.

Yes. You can get Preeclampsia AFTER birth. Up two SIX WEEKS AFTWR BIRTH. While more rare, it DOES happen and it happened to me.

If Duke hadn’t had me logging my blood pressure, I may not be alive today.

I have been diagnosed with post partum depression and anxiety. I deal with daily struggles of having been separated from Piper so quickly after birth, the ins and outs of experiencing the NICU, and then having to go back to the hospital myself to be admitted because of post partum preeclampsia. Truly the most scary days of my life. My BP read 167/115 in the doctor’s office and got even higher after admission. Knowing I could have had a life altering situation or even death is something that rocked me to my core, but something I also didn’t even feel emotionally settle inside of me until 3 months after birth.

I’m doing better now health wise and officially off my blood pressure medication. I’m still working through PPD/A. It’s been challenging and soul crushing at times, but I’m deeply grateful to be alive and I’m so thankful for the proactive efforts Duke had in place after I gave birth.

I share my story to share awareness and to educate. Almost every time I’ve told someone about my experience with post partum preeclampsia, they had no idea it even existed. It’s broadly assumed it’s only a pre-birth condition. I assumed that myself. I am truly lucky to be alive.

I’m not sure I have words for how much fun we had during this engagement session.

I’m on a bit of a journey with embracing my craft in a more meaningful and story telling type of way. I’m letting light speak more loudly to me and allowing moments to happen more organically. It’s been such a treat for my little artist soul.

These last couple of pictures should give a clue what their wedding date may be. Any guesses?

And this is what I mean when I say make your engagement session about your story 🙌🏼

I love when couples incorporate the unexpected but also unique to their history together. I love it so so much.

Courtney & Ryan shared some of their favorite things with me during their engagement photos and together we chased the light!

Introducing the Hollands ☺️

Yesterday marked my first wedding since becoming a mother to our sweet Piper girl, and it held a depth I didn’t quite expect… a quiet, tender kind of bittersweetness 🥹

Returning to something so familiar felt different this time. It was softer, more intentional, more aware of the fleeting nature of it all. The day unfolded gently, full of calm, unhurried moments. Photographing these two felt effortless, like stepping into a rhythm that somehow made even more sense than before. Not to mention….if you’ve been following my stories the new Sony is giving LIFE 😅 I’m LOVING it!!!

Also…I’ve truly been the actually worst at social media 😅 sorry friends. Life has simply CHANGED and it took a major back seat for a little while. Turns out, being pregnant and having a baby is like actually super hard work 🥹😅

Planning to share more of my weddings with you all soon but for now, enjoy yesterday’s wedding with the Hollands 🤍

✨My Signature Black & White Mom & Me Mini sign-ups are officially LIVE✨

This year feels extra special to me. Walking through this new season myself has made me see just how quickly it all moves… and how important it is to freeze even the simplest moments in time.

Because one day, these photos won’t just be photos… they’ll be proof that you were there, loving them in all the ways that mattered most.

I’ve also added an EXTRA date this year to open up more spots since these sell out so fast!

I cannot wait to document these moments for you… the quiet, the chaos, and everything in between.

Motherhood is… everything all at once.
It’s the soft weight of their head on your shoulder, the tiny hands reaching for yours, the moments that feel ordinary until you realize one day they won’t be anymore.

It’s beautiful and messy and exhausting and sacred… and it deserves to be remembered 🤍
