Heavenly Father please protect our children this school year. Watch over them. Bless them with discernment as they work on making friends. Replace any anxious thoughts or fear of new beginnings with your love, grace, & peace. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

I don't even know where to start.

I grew up with both their mom's (love them both to pieces) & to capture their babies beautiful love story years later, is honestly such a blessing.

I just witnessed them being baptized together at church. To be so young yet so put together & have God at the center of their love and life, gives me chills honestly.

Their future is so so so bright and I pray God covers them with a lifetime of peace, love, and blessings. I love you both so so so sooooo much & thank youuuuu for trusting me time and time again with your photos. 🥹♥️🙏🏼

I was pregnant at 13. Gave birth at 14. The majority of my pregnancy I was hiding under big hoodies and barely left my house. 

I do not regret my daughter one bit and I am so grateful I now get to capture these memories of her while pregnant. ♡ 

Talk about a full circle moment.

Such an honor to be chosen to capture my girl's wedding. Not something I took lightly at all.

Shooting a wedding comes with a lot of pressure. You only get one shot at getting it right.

You are encountered with a lot of different lighting scenarios & many things are unpredictable.

I am grateful that God blessed me with the challenge and the skills to see the day through.

Also, thank you to my sis for being my 2nd shooter.

Appreciate you all for everything. Your kindness, your grace, the love. It was such a beautiful day and I am beyond grateful to have been a part of it.

Love you all! More photos to come now that I got the green light to post hehe. Xoxo
