It may have been a gloomy day, but Lincoln brought all the light! ☀️🤍

This family will always hold the most special place in my heart! They truly are just so dang sweet, and I cannot wait to meet Baby Barnick #2! If Lincoln is any indication of just how perfect this little one will be, I already know we’re in for something so special! 🥹🤍

There was absolutely NO chance of me picking just one photo… or even just 10! So I had to find a SCRL that would let me use as many pictures as possible because HOW STINKING CUTE is this mama and her kiddos?! 🥹 I’m still just in awe over how one session could go so perfectly. Kami, you are the sweetest soul and such an incredible mama. These babies are so lucky to have you! 🤍 I absolutely love this little family, and I hope you all enjoy this session even half as much as I did capturing it!

This family will always hold such a soft spot in my heart. They are truly full of so much love, joy, and kindness, and I’m so thankful I’ve had the opportunity to capture these little moments for such an incredible family. These are the moments that make me so grateful for this gift of photography! 🤍✨

Rylan wasn’t exactly impressed that he had to take pictures, change outfits, or take more than one picture! 😂 But guess what?! Every. Single. Picture. of Rylan turned out amazing!

Rylan is truly one of the most humble and hardworking young men, and I have no doubt he is going to do BIG things in this life. I hope you have the absolute best senior year, Rylan! Enjoy every moment, you’ve got an incredible future ahead of you!

The absolute sweetest family welcomed the sweetest baby girl I ever did see. 🤍

Tatum Lorraine, you have parents who will literally move mountains for you. You are one lucky little girl, and I can’t wait to watch you grow and see all the incredible things you accomplish!

Congratulations, you guys! Tatum is absolutely perfect. 🥹🤍

I just need to take a moment to address my clients. 🤍

As most of you know, I’m raising three girls who are active in sports, I work full time, I own a tanning salon, and I also do photography. Right now, it’s BUSY season, and if I’m being completely honest, I’ve been struggling to keep up with it all.

My response times have been much slower than normal. I’ve missed messages, I’ve dropped the ball on communication, and I’ve found myself being incredibly hard on myself because I worry that I’m not being professional enough or giving everyone the experience they deserve.

The truth is, I’m just trying my best to stay afloat right now. 🥹

But the grace, patience, and kindness you have all shown me through this season has not gone unnoticed. Not even a little bit.

I have been reminded over and over again that everything is going to be okay, and that there are some truly wonderful people on the other side of my camera who understand that I’m human and that sometimes life gets really, really full.

So to every single client who has waited patiently, sent me a kind message, given me grace, or simply understood when I’ve been slower than usual, thank you.

I truly cannot put into words how thankful I am for each of you. I don’t take your patience, your trust, or your kindness for granted. I am continuing to work as hard as I can to catch up and get everything where it needs to be.

Thank you for allowing me a little grace during this crazy season. 🤍 It means more to me than you’ll ever know.
