Some weddings are big and extravagant. Others are simple, intimate, and centered on what matters most.

Seth + Maresa were married surrounded by their closest family in a backyard celebration at their home, where their love for each other was on full display for everyone there to see. It was an honor to capture not only the way they cared for one another, but also the way their family gathered around them with so much love, support, and joy.

Here are a few sneak peeks from their day that was meaningful, relaxed, and full of the moments that matter most.

Congratulations you two lovebirds!

There’s something really special about stepping into a family that already knows how to love well.

Little August joined a home that was ready for him — not just mom and dad, but a big sister finding her way into this brand new role. The curiosity. The softness. The quiet pride as she leaned in closer to her baby brother.

That’s what I loved most about this session — not just the tenderness with their newest little one, but the becoming. A family of four learning their new rhythm in real time. Comfortable. Playful. Certain. The kind of love that grows right in front of you.

August, you are surrounded. And to this beautiful family — thank you for trusting me to capture this chapter exactly as it’s unfolding.

To be exhausted by the journey is a privilege—proof that we invested our energy in people, moments, and stories that outlive the day.
This year, that truth hit me over and over again—and I’m grateful for it. This year has been such a gift to pour myself into the cross-crossing journeys of families moving through life just as I’m moving through mine.

I’m thankful for the chance to keep growing in this season, to keep learning, and to keep showing up with a camera and a little more grit than the day before. I can’t wait to see what memories we’ll capture together in the year to come!

Trust…

One thing I’m especially grateful for this year is the trust people put in me — inviting me into their stories, their homes, their chaos, and their quiet moments. It’s not something I take lightly, and it’s a big part of what keeps me showing up with my whole heart.

This Small Business Saturday, don’t forget that my free session giveaway is still open through Tuesday! Don’t miss out on this opportunity that comes by once a year!
