Everybody say hello to THE RYANS!!! 🤍🌊
And when I tell you this family BRAVED the weather with me… I mean it😂 It was torrentially downpouring for most of the day, but somehow Mother Nature gave us about 30 minutes of drizzles to make some magic happen before the skies completely opened up again.
And LOOK AT THESE!!! 😭📸 Somehow the photos turned out even more beautiful than any of us could’ve imagined.
I’m forever grateful to Adriana and her beautiful family for trusting me…..not only with the unpredictable weather, but with capturing these memories they’ll have forever.🤍
And also… get you a photographer who can do BOTH. 😂 Camera in one hand. Cell phone in the other. Miss Rachel playing at full volume trying to get those baby smiles.
The amount of sessions I have photographed one-handed while simultaneously holding a phone above my camera playing children’s videos needs to be studied😂
I WISH someone had gotten a video because I can only imagine what I looked like.
But hey… whatever it takes to get the shot📸😂
Rain, drizzle, Miss Rachel and all—the Ryans absolutely KILLED their beach session🤍🌊

I seriously don’t know how I got so lucky with this group of girls🥹🤍
Literally the DAY before this, I was photographing Natalie and her precious baby girl, Layla, and Olivia showed up just to be a good friend and help with the baby.
Then the VERY NEXT DAY, I was photographing Brooke’s engagement photos… and Olivia and Natalie showed up just to surprise me!!! 😭
Like, excuse me?! At what point did I stop being the photographer and just get adopted into the friend group? 😂
Photography has given me so much more than pretty pictures. It has introduced me to some of the greatest people, and somehow clients have turned into actual friends🤍
The way these girls show up for each other…..and now apparently for ME too…..is so special.
How freaking lucky am I that THIS is my job?! 🥹📸🤍

How lucky am I that I’ve gotten to photograph some of the most BEAUTIFUL people this summer?! And Miss Olivia certainly did not disappoint🤍🍸
Yes, this was her bridal shower. Yes, she had an entire room full of people there to celebrate her. And yes, I absolutely made the BRIDE step away from her own party because I needed five minutes alone with her and my camera😂📸
Because LOOK AT HER!!!
The second I saw Olivia all dressed up with an espresso martini in her hand, I knew we needed some solo bridal portraits—and these turned into the most gorgeous little editorial bridal moment. The posing, the details, the martini, the entire “Love is Brewing” aesthetic… I am OBSESSED.
Sometimes during a session I can already see the finished photo in my head before I even take it, and this was absolutely one of those moments.
And honestly, Liv could not have made my job any easier🤍
So here’s your reminder: even when I’m photographing an event, I will absolutely steal you away from your own guests for a few minutes if the light is good and I have a vision😂
Because sometimes five minutes away from the party gives us photos like THESE.
Our beautiful bride-to-be.🤍🍸💍

Love in black & white… with a little espresso on the side🖤☕🤍
Everybody say congratulations to our beautiful bride-to-be, Olivia!!!
The theme was “Love is Brewing” and honestly, an espresso martini-themed bridal shower?! Say LESS. 🍸 Julia planned the entire thing and absolutely KILLED it……from all the little details to creating the sweetest day to celebrate Liv!!!Major props to her because everything was beautiful!
And something about these moments in black & white just makes me love them even more. The laughs, the hugs, the happy tears, and all the people who showed up to celebrate someone they love so much. 🥹🤍
Liv, we are SO incredibly happy for you and wish you nothing but a lifetime of love, laughter, and total happiness as you head into this next chapter.
Here’s to the future Mrs.!!! 🤍💍
And perhaps several more espresso martinis along the way😂🍸

Just when y’all thought the McCartneys’ photos couldn’t possibly get any more beautiful… I FOUND MORE😂🤍
At this point, every time I open their gallery I find another photo and think, “Okay wait… THIS might actually be my favorite.”
This little spot under the bridge in Ocean City has quickly become one of my absolute favorite places to photograph…and not just because it’s literally only a couple miles from where I live😂🌊
The boats floating by in the background, the birds, the sand, the water, the bridge… there’s just something about the entire atmosphere that makes every session feel a little different.
And when golden hour decides to show up?! GAME OVER☀️ The light that comes underneath the bridge is absolutely gorgeous.
But honestly, even when the sun DOESN’T cooperate, I’m not mad about it. Because then we get blue hour…and if you’ve followed me for a while, you already know I will defend blue hour with my LIFE. 😂💙
Golden, warm and glowy OR cool, blue and dreamy… I’ll happily take either.
And apparently I’ve discovered something else about myself this summer: I want to photograph engagement sessions ALL. THE. TIME. 💍📸
So if anyone needs me, I’ll be somewhere on the beach third-wheeling two people in love and yelling about how pretty the light is😂🤍
And McCartneys… sorry, but I’m still not done posting you😘

One of the easiest sessions to photograph because the love between a grandma and her granddaughter was already doing all the work🥹🤍
Just before school starts again, Beverly and Andy reached out to me for the sweetest little session….and the flowers could not have been a more perfect prop for these two🌼
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about Andy over the years, so getting to finally have her in front of my camera was extra special. She is seriously one of the sweetest, smartest girls, AND she loves to read… so obviously we had plenty to talk about📚😂
There’s just something so special about the bond between a grandma and her granddaughter, and I’m so happy Beverly will have these photos of the two of them forever🤍

Still obsessing over the McCartneys, so let’s talk engagement session tips! 💍📸
Tip #1: Coordinate, don’t match! Brooke’s white dress + the soft blue and neutral tones were PERFECT for the beach🤍
Tip #2: Trust your photographer on timing. Golden hour can change everything in a matter of minutes—and the sun absolutely showed up for these two☀️
Tip #3: Forget about the camera! Look at each other, touch, laugh, flirt, be cheesy. Your engagement session should feel more like a date… with me awkwardly third-wheeling with a camera😂
And when your photos turn out like THIS?! Yeah… worth it🤍

The blue eyes. The hair. The white dress. The golden light. Disney, come get your next princess😭🤍✨
Still not over the McCartneys, and I fear I may never be because… BROOKE?!?!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had this little vision during their session of having Brooke lay across her husband’s legs in the sand, letting that gorgeous golden-hour light fall right across her face……and somehow it turned out even better than what I had pictured in my head🥹📸
Her bright blue eyes, the long hair, the white dress, the way she’s shielding her face from the sun… there’s something about these photos that feels straight out of a storybook!!!👸🏼👑
