When you realize the star of the show just walked into your studio! 🤩🌟
Talk about a true full circle moment! ✨ I recently had the absolute joy of photographing for her acting headshots, and the story of how she ended up in my studio is wild. Her incredible mom found me completely by chance through my online reviews, which is a huge reminder of why your reviews mean the absolute world to small businesses! 💛

But here is where it gets crazy. Once we started chatting, I found out Aniylah is a student at Douglas Anderson and performs with (everyone needs to follow them and go to their shows!). When her mom casually mentioned she was in their incredible production of Shrek Jr. this past July, my jaw dropped. I was at that show! She played Donkey, and I vividly remember walking up to her family after the curtain closed just to tell them she gave major young Palmer energy. She completely brought the house down!

Getting to actually work with her in the studio after seeing her shine on stage was a total dream. She obviously crushed her session, and we had the best time just vibing and laughing. I had my video rolling the whole time, so turn your sound on (or read the captions!) to catch our hilarious banter. Yes, I definitely brought up Keke Palmer again! wait for her absolutely priceless reaction to seeing her shots on my computer screen! 🎬📸

Keep your eyes on Aniylah, because this girl is going places..

When you wait out the rain and get a rainbow! 🙌🌈 Madison and Tristen’s Epping Forest engagement session was a total dream. We spent the evening rushing around these gorgeous grounds, cracking up the entire time. And can we talk about baby Henry for a second?! I can’t even with how cute he 🥺 Counting down the days until their October wedding! 📸🤍. 💍

Flawless spaces require a flawless eye. 💅 Destin Barkley didn't just step in front of the camera for her new branding photos; she completely owned it. It is no surprise that a designer who creates such stunning interiors brings that exact same elevated energy to her own shoot. Who else is obsessed with these looks?

Time to show off the entire family! 🔥Including family pictures during your maternity session is so incredibly important. It captures exactly who you are in this beautiful chapter before your whole dynamic changes. Doing a studio session with three little ones can definitely get a bit crazy, but we had so much fun!

Arik, Mindy, and their three kids, Amiri, Ayla, and Aude, brought the absolute best energy to the studio. Seriously, look at how gorgeous these kids are. Talk about good genes! It was so special to watch how they all interact, from the sweet sister moments with Amiri and Ayla to Mindy’s precious snuggles with the ridiculously adorable Aude😍.

I am secretly hoping baby number four gets Mama (and Ayla’s) gorgeous red hair!

Capturing them as a family of five before their newest addition arrives was an absolute dream. Thank you, Arik and Mindy, for trusting me to document this amazing season!

Total Smokeshow. 🔥

The STUNNING Mindy is not only a brilliant doctor, a Co-founder of and a WAY but is pregnant with baby number FOUR! Talk about a HOT MAMA BOSS.

This shot was my exact vision brought to life. I set it up in-studio with my real smoke and panels, then designed this AI background specifically for her. An absolute masterpiece!

Mindy, thank you for choosing me to show you off!

I am still on cloud nine from Morgan and Johnny’s incredible wedding! ⛰️

Let me tell you, when Morgan reached out after finding my blog from Grace and Tucker’s wedding back in 2022, I was beyond thrilled to travel back to the stunning Mountain Top Inn in Vermont.

We immediately bonded when they flew down to Jacksonville for their engagement shoot. We just laughed the entire time, and they are truly the sweetest couple. Morgan made sure to include me in every single part of their perfect weekend, and I am so grateful!

This day was filled with the highest highs and the happiest tears. From their intimate private vows to a daddy/daughter dance that featured a home video of Morgan dancing with her dad as a little girl playing in the background (literally not a dry eye in the house 🥺).

And then... the reception. That dance floor NEVER stopped! Johnny never left it. He was an absolute DANCE MACHINE! 🕺🔥 And, of course, they both had to get thrown in the air while I laid on the floor to get the shot... because of course! 😂

Morgan and Johnny, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to capture your magic. Have the best honeymoon! ✈️🤍
