A well-tailored suit and a great smile never go out of style. 👊🏼

Today marks seventeen years as Mr. and Mrs. Layne! ♥️

Seventeen years of marriage, countless trips, thousands of conversations, a whole lot of laughter, and enough shared experiences that I can say just a couple of words and Justan knows exactly what I’m talking about. It could be about a place, a trip, something that happened years ago, or something completely random—and he just knows. Sometimes it’s not even words. Just a look across the room and I know we’re thinking the exact same thing. 😆 After seventeen years, I guess you really do get to know each other that well.

I’m so grateful for the man I get to call my husband. Justan is one of the hardest-working people I know, and so much of what he does for our family happens behind the scenes. He carries a lot, takes care of a lot, and somehow keeps showing up for all of it. I never want those things to go unnoticed.

I also deeply appreciate the way he leads our family spiritually and the quiet, steady example he sets. It’s one of the many things I respect and admire about him. 🫶🏼

We’ve had plenty of life happen in these seventeen years, and I love that through every curveball, we’ve always been a team. From day one, it’s been the two of us facing life together. With every year that passes, I think we just get better and better at being the team we’ve always been. 👏🏼

I’m thankful for our adventures, our memories, our sweet Winston, our life together, and all the ordinary little moments in between that have become some of my favorite ones. But most of all, I’m thankful that my best friend is the person I get to do all of it with.

I say it every year, but it’s because I mean it: Mr. Layne, you are my favorite. ♥️

Happy Seventeenth Anniversary, Justan! 🤟🏼 Here’s to many more great memories, adventures, laughs, and years of being us. 🥂I love you!

The retail stores may be telling us otherwise, but there’s still plenty of summer left—and I’m going to soak up every last bit of it. ☀️

Bring on the sunny days, warm nights, pool days, and all the little things that make this season so good. I’m not ready to let summer go just yet! 💛

Kylie | Senior 2027 | Sneak Peek

Over 100° outside, moving around the park and changing locations, and that sweet smile—Kylie absolutely rocked her Senior Session! 🎓 Her adorable personality and natural beauty made it so much fun to capture this exciting season of her life. 🫶🏼

She’s getting ready to start her senior year and has some pretty exciting things ahead, including plans to pursue a career in teaching. ✏️ I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes her!

Kylie, I hope your senior year is unforgettable! Soak in all the memories, enjoy every minute, and have so much fun along the way. Graduation will be here before you know it! 🎉

Some of my favorite photographs are the ones where you can not only feel the joy and love, but hear it as well! 🫶🏼 Emmett and Mabel are always so fun to photograph, and their sessions are filled with so much laughter and happiness.

I hope these bring a smile to your face as big as the one they put on mine! 😁

While the kids take a snack break, I always steal Mom & Dad for a few quiet minutes. 🫶🏼 Those little moments become some of my favorite images from the session, and I think one day they’ll be their kids’ favorites, too. 🥹

Cameron | Newborn | Sneak Peek

Sweet baby Cameron was 16 days old for his Newborn Session, and what a joy it was to be back with the Fitts family as they welcomed their third little boy! 👶🏼

I’ve had the privilege of photographing Lincoln, Hudson, and now Cameron as newborns. Watching this family grow over nearly five years has been such a special gift. Every time I walk into their home, I’m reminded of how much love fills every corner—not only because Nicole and Tony have an incredible eye for creating beautiful spaces, but because of the kindness, laughter, and joy each of them brings. 🫶🏼

I loved getting some quiet moments with just Nicole, Tony, and Cameron in the nursery while the boys played nearby, then watching the whole family come together for their first portraits as a family of five. From the sweet snuggles with Mom and Dad to the proud big brothers showing off their newest little buddy, every part of this session was filled with so much love.

Nicole may be outnumbered in the house, but I have a feeling she will always be the favorite girl around. 😉 It’s easy to see how much she is cherished by her boys.

Tony and Nicole, you’ve built such a beautiful family, and your boys are incredibly kind, loving, and oh so precious. I’m so thankful I get to preserve these memories for you and look forward to even more special photo sessions together in the future! ♥️

The Fitts Family is getting closer and closer to welcoming the newest member of their family—a baby boy who is already loved oh so much! 👶🏼🍼💙 Not only by Mom and Dad, but also by two excited big brothers anxiously awaiting the day he finally gets to be here so they can give their little brother all the snuggles.

I had so much fun capturing these sweet memories during their Maternity Session, and I can’t wait to meet their newest little guy at his Newborn Session and document another special season for their family. 📷

Nicole, Tony, Lincoln, and Hudson—I can’t wait to see you all again soon! 🫶🏼
