Sometimes, photography can get a little too territorial. Our locations. Our ideas. Our poses. Our clients. Everybody guarding their tiny creative kingdoms like someone’s coming to steal the crown. 😂

But here’s the thing…

You can put three photographers in front of the exact same girl, in the exact same dress, under the exact same sky…and I promise you’ll get three completely different stories.

THAT is the magic.

This weekend with Tishy and Cindy was such a reminder of how much I love creating alongside people I admire. Shoot a little, watch a little, share ideas, chase pretty light, laugh at ourselves (tons of this) and hype each other up when somebody nails it. 🙌🏻

No egos. No competition. Just three women seeing the world a little differently and loving that about each other.

Find those people. I’m so blessed to have a village of them (you girls know who you are 😜 FBF). The ones who inspire you without making you question yourself. The ones who clap when you create something beautiful and make you want to clap even louder when they do.

Then grab a model, go chase some light and PLAY.

Your camera might need it.

But I have a feeling your soul needs it even more. ❤️

One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do is hit pause on something I love. (LONG POST)

For those who don’t know, I’ve made the decision to step away from photography for this upcoming school year. It wasn’t a quick decision, and it certainly wasn’t an easy one. I prayed about it, wrestled with it, cried....a lot....and questioned it more times than I can count.

But sometimes God asks us to make room.

Not because something is bad… but because something else needs our attention for a season.

For me, that means being more present with my family, taking better care of my health, and allowing myself the space to simply breathe again.

The funny thing is… this weekend reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place.

There were no deadlines. No client expectations. Just a group of incredibly talented photographer friends, amazing models, beautiful locations, and the freedom to create simply because we wanted to.

I even rented a lens I’ve never used before just to push myself out of my comfort zone. I’ll admit… I was missing my trusty favorite most of the day. 😂 But there’s something really refreshing about seeing the world through a different perspective, even if it feels unfamiliar at first.

And maybe that’s true about life, too.

Sometimes the growth we’re praying for doesn’t happen by holding tighter to what’s comfortable. Sometimes it comes from having the courage to loosen our grip, trust God’s timing, and believe that He knows what He’s doing even when we can’t see the whole picture.

This weekend filled a part of me that I didn’t even realize was running on empty.
To Tishy, thank you for pulling together another one of your last-minute adventures. To Cindy, thank you for bringing your creativity (and that gorgeous dress that immediately inspired all of us). And to every model who willingly stood out in the Texas heat while we chased ideas… thank you. You all made this weekend so special.

I’m choosing to trust that when God asks us to slow down, it’s never to take something away… it’s to prepare us for something even better.

Here’s to embracing a new season with open hands and an open heart. 🤍

This year has already looked different for me. I’ve intentionally hit pause on some things so I can go all in on others… making sure I’m showing up for the people I love most while also making space for the parts of me that need to breathe again.

One of those things was taking this weekend to simply create.

No client work. No deadlines. No pressure to produce anything except whatever inspired us. Sometimes you don’t realize how empty your creative cup has become until you finally slow down long enough to fill it again.

When Cindy Cindy Arthur showed up with this dress, we all knew exactly where it belonged. The moment Willow stepped onto those steps, everything just clicked. These images are exactly why I needed this weekend.

Now… let’s also give credit where credit is due. Willow basically became a rotisserie chicken in this dress during the mid-day Texas heat and never complained once. 🥵😂 That’s commitment.

Thank you, Willow, for trusting us and making these images come to life. And thank you, Tishy, Tishy Bryant | Austin Senior Photographer for always being one text away from saying, “Let’s do it.” My heart and my creative cup are so full. 🤍

I cheated on my favorite lens this weekend. 😏

I almost never stray from my go-to lens (like… 99% of the time never), but I wanted to fill my creative cup this weekend, so I forced myself out of my comfort zone.

And now I have a problem… I think I’m developing a little crush. 😂

These were all taken with a lens that’s completely different from what I normally shoot, and I love how it changed the feel of these images.

Of course, Willow made my job ridiculously easy. She’s been one of our Rise Up Workshop models since day one, and there’s just something about her that has always inspired me creatively. Some people simply have that magnetic pull, and she’s one of them. Spending the weekend photographing her (while she and her AMAZING mom Mia McAdams survived the Galveston heat from sunrise to sunset 💪) was exactly what my creative soul needed.

Can you guess which lens I used?

This weekend in Galveston was exactly what my creative soul needed. 🤍 I had the honor of photographing some incredible girls, and Maci was an absolute dream to work with… so kind, so beautiful, and effortlessly graceful in front of the camera.

And then God showed off. 🌅 That sunset was one of the most breathtaking I’ve ever witnessed. Some moments simply can’t be planned… they’re gifts.

This weekend wasn’t about client work. It was about filling my own creative cup. 🤍

I didn’t realize how much I needed to create just for the joy of creating.

This year is going to be about slowing down, pouring into my family, myself and the people I love most. Sometimes stepping away is exactly what brings your passion back.

Just a little glimpse from Galveston… SOOC…Some images don’t need editing. ✨
