Your kids are never too grown for family photos! Getting everyone together for photos and grabbing dinner afterwards is such a sweet way to make more memories together. Loved capturing this family!! 🤎

I cannot WAIT to see this setup come to life 😍

The Crossley Family 🧡

It's been a minute since I posted a full gallery 😍 If I could bottle up an evening session it would probably look a lot like this. Listening to the kids giggle as they ran to mom and dad. ALL THE SMILES. We had to get the kids a little warmed up but some movement always works!

Love a good family session 🥰

Robbie and Sunnie are the sweetest little duo! They had me wishing I had a little girl. 🥹

I truly believe the best photos happen when you let your kids be kids. Let them run, laugh, be goofy, pick flowers, tell me stories, and just be little. Those are the memories you'll want to remember years from now. 💖

I have had all of my -To Be- couples lately and my hearts swirling!!!

Rhett + Kailyn

You know part of my job is getting to know a couple and ask questions that they probably haven't thought of in awhile and getting to reminisce on how they met, why they fell in love and all the gushy inbetweens. But one question I got the other day was "Can you tell when people aren't mean't to be together?" I sat on it for a while. I can honestly say that I have never noticed when couples shouldn't be together. My job is to capture your love. I feel like my sessions should feel like you fell in love all over again with a hint of gentle playful banter. These 2 remind me of high school love! The can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of love. 🥰

I am the luckiest girl that I get to stand aside your love and tell ALL of your stories! I am an empath so I FEEL everything. The first looks, the way you look at each other, the words you say to each other, the first dances and the silent I love yous. I cry along side you. Most don't see it but I do. I LOVE, love. It is everything. I want your photos to reflect that. I thank you all for letting me get to love your love! It's truly an honor for me. 🥹 LOVE YALL!

a little love for one of my wedding couples ✨

Grant + Delainey

These 2 are an easy mix of fun and creative! I was DYING over grant's mother's beautiful house. The detail of the quilt. The dancing on the front porch. It was all so homely feeling! I'm so excited I get to share their day with them.

NOTE: If you are wanting to get on my Fall books I would book very soon because my schedule is very slim. I will also be posting Fall mini's very soon. 🍂

🐄 Fair Livestock Mini Sessions 🐖🐑🐇🐓

I’ve been thinking about doing something new this year and I’m so excited to finally offer Fair Livestock Mini Sessions!

I don’t only want to take a picture of your child standing in front of a banner with their animal. I want to capture the moments that tell the story of all the hard work they’ve put in leading up to fair week! The bond they have with their animal, the pride on their face and all the little moments they’ll remember years from now. 🥹

We can get them in the wash rack or even during 4-H auction. If you want something more classic we can do that also.

Introductory Fair Livestock Mini Sessions

$100
10 minute session
One exhibitor + one animal
7-10 Images

Additional animals and siblings can be added.

I’ll work around your show schedule so you don’t have to miss any of the fun!

Send me a message if you’d like to book. I can’t wait for these!! 🤍
