I wish I could just post images to Facebook and they wouldn’t totally butcher them 🤦‍♀️ Facebook really needs to fix this issue. So until then I will continue to share links to my instagram and website to share current work.

A little wedding sneak peek for Nicholette and Peter. 🤍 This wedding was a show stopper from start to finish. I wish I could share more because it was honestly so hard to choose which photos to post. 🥰

I wish I could post the entire gallery from Lily’s senior session because every single photo is pure gold! 😍 Lily and her mother were so excited for this shoot and it was an absolute pleaser to bring all of their visions to life. 🤍 I can’t wait for our next session at the end of the month! 🙌🏻

Sometimes writing captions are seriously the hardest part of making a post. I refuse to use AI. I rather sound authentic and maybe a bit silly rather than let AI do it for me. 🤷‍♀️😅 And honestly sometimes I rather let the images speak for themselves. 🤍

This session was full of giggles, silly moments, big hugs, and the kind of memories that deserve to be captured forever 🤍

I’m headed out to capture a micro wedding today, but I had to share a few from Edward & Amy’s engagement session last weekend.
They made everything feel so effortless—and I’m obsessed with their gallery. It was seriously impossible to pick favorites, so here are a few!
So excited for their wedding this fall 🤍
