Because behind every pretty gallery is a photographer who has probably felt all of this at some point. 🤍

✨Senior Sunday | Morgan

Seniors have always been something I rarely photographed. Honestly, I never really felt like they were “my thing.” 🤍

And then this year happened… and my senior books completely took off. Somewhere along the way, I realized just how much I LOVE senior sessions.

So many of these kids are ones I’ve known since elementary school, and getting to capture this chapter of their lives is such a beautiful thing. Watching them grow up and then getting to freeze this season for them is something I don’t take for granted. 🥹

And speaking of seniors… Samantha Taylor Photography and I have been building something INCREDIBLE. 🤍

We’ve been pouring so much time, heart, and everything we have into something centered around seniors, and we are SO excited to finally share it with you guys in the next few weeks! We truly hope you love it as much as we do. It has been such a wonderful experience working alongside Samantha, and I cannot wait for you to see what we’ve been creating. 🥹✨
🎉 MY BIRTHDAY PROMO LAUNCHES IN FOUR DAYS! 🎉
I hope you guys are just as excited as I am because this year’s surprise is something I’ve been SO excited to share!
⏰ Set those alarms for September 3rd at 7:00 PM!
Four. More. Days. 👀🎉

Some moments are impossible to put into words.

Unless you’ve lived through the loss of a baby, there are simply no words to explain the emotions that come with finally holding your rainbow baby.

It isn’t just happiness.

It’s happiness tangled up with heartbreak.
It’s gratitude mixed with grief.
It’s looking down at the baby in your arms and knowing there is another baby who should have been here, too.

And somehow, you learn to carry both. 🌈

This beautiful mama and I have grown so incredibly close through a bond neither of us ever wanted to share — the loss of our babies. There is an understanding between loss moms that doesn’t require words. Sometimes a look says everything. Sometimes a hug says what words can't.

And there were many tears shed during this session. Tears for the babies we wish we could have held. Tears because after everything we've walked through, we get to hold them in our arms.

Because when you have a rainbow baby, you aren't just living for your miracle.

You are living for the baby you lost, too.

You carry them into every milestone, every little moment, and every breath of gratitude. You love the baby in your arms with your whole heart, while carrying the baby you lost in that same heart.

So when I look at these images, I don't just see a beautiful newborn and mama.

I see a mother who survived something she never should have had to survive.

I see a rainbow. 🌈
And I see a love that loss could never take away. 🤍

To this mama — I hope you always know how deeply I treasure the friendship that came from two broken hearts understanding each other in a way few ever will.

The number of likes will never tell the whole story. ❤️

Because that photo might become the one hanging on a wall, the one they see every morning, the one that brings back a season of life they wish they could relive.

This is why I’ll always believe photographs matter. They’re not just pictures for social media. They become memories we get to keep. 🤍

Another young love story to add to my favorite kind of memories. 🤍✨ The sweetest love, the softest moments, and two people so clearly meant for each other.

A little summer love to fill your feed. 🤍✨

There’s just something about young love, golden light, and the way they look at each other. 🥹

So happy I got to capture a little piece of their story. 📸🤍
A little MIA lately… and honestly, I’m not even sorry about it. 🤍
I’ve been soaking up the last bit of summer with my babies, squeezing in all the summer sessions, reminiscing with old clients, and making memories with new ones. 📸✨ So if you’ve messaged me, emailed me, or are waiting on me — thank you for your patience. 🤍 I’m getting back into the swing of things!
