POV: The photographer finally got bullied into being in front of the camera. 😅

🎶 I feel pretty, oh so pretty… 🎶

Not gonna lie—it still feels vulnerable.

But there was something really sweet about putting on the dress, wandering through a field, and pretending for a minute I was in a musical montage. 🌸✨

10/10 recommend being the main character occasionally

Confession time… this was hard. 😰

I spend so much time telling women, “You deserve to be in the photo.”
“You are beautiful right now.”
“You don’t have to lose weight first.”
“You are worthy of being seen.”

So this week, I decided to put my money where my mouth is.

And if I’m honest? I felt vulnerable. Self-conscious. Unsure. I worried about angles, my body, whether I looked awkward, whether I was “too much” or “not enough.” I almost talked myself out of it.

Because I know what it feels like.

I know what it feels like to wonder if you deserve beautiful photos. To think, maybe someday when I lose weight… when I feel prettier… when I feel more confident… when life settles down.

But what if someday is now?

What if you deserve softness, beauty, magic, and to be seen exactly as you are—in this season?

I’m still learning to believe that for myself too.

So here I am, practicing what I preach. 💕

And if you’ve ever felt scared to step in front of the camera, just know: I understand. Truly.

I promise to do my best to honor your vulnerability, your insecurities, and your story with kindness, patience, and compassion. To help you feel safe, seen, and beautiful—even on the days you don’t quite believe it yourself.

✨ Special thank you to my village for helping me be brave: Austin for taking over behind the camera, Autumn for the makeup, and my mom for the hair. I love you all. 💗🫶

Main character energy 📖✨

A pretty dress, a quiet moment, and a reminder that joy and imagination don’t have an age limit 💗

If your life were a storybook chapter right now… what would this season be called?

Honestly, every woman deserves a moment to feel beautiful and seen.

Proof that you do not need a special occasion to feel beautiful 🌸

I had someone very special in my studio this week 💗

And let’s just say… if I told you her age, you probably wouldn’t believe me 😍

Some women are simply timeless. Warm smile, kind heart, beautiful soul… and somehow it all shines through in photographs.

I hope I age this gracefully

A little before and after this morning. I photographed the image through a curtain and on the camera it looked too blown out to use, but I wanted to play with it because I just like playing in photoshop sometimes. I was going for a vintage film/darkroom look. This is without ai, just me and Lightroom/Photoshop. I’m thinking I want to do a whole session in this style. 🤔 just need to figure out what kind of story it fits.

Color or black & white? ✨
I genuinely can’t decide on this one. There’s something magical about the soft sunset tones… but the black & white feels so timeless and emotional.

Which one would you choose for your wall? 💚🖤

I seriously can’t wait to sit down and look through the eleventy-billion gorgeous photos I’ve taken over the past couple of days of my girl and some beautiful sweet ladies, but I still have one more princess coming to the studio tonight.
In the mean time, I’m dying over the abandoned piano photos at prospectfarms tonight— peek at the back of the camera 😳😍🔥
