Hi everyone! I wanted to give a quick update regarding gallery delivery times. I have been extremely busy these past few weeks, which has caused me to fall a little behind on editing and delivering some sessions. Please know that I am working hard to finish each gallery and get your photos back to you as soon as possible. I sincerely apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your patience and understanding! ❤️

I had a vision to show the beauty of Jesus through my photography. As I planned this session, I spent time reading testimonies and praying over them, reflecting on the many ways God moves through our lives and stories.

Because of that, I’m excited to officially offer Faith-Based Sessions through Behind The Lens Photography. 🤍

For the month of July, I’ll be hosting two days of faith-based mini sessions. These will be 15-minute sessions and offered on a pay-what-you-can basis because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to celebrate and share their faith.

A $25 non-refundable deposit will still be required to reserve your spot. This helps ensure that everyone who wants a session has a fair opportunity to book.

I’ll be announcing dates soon, so be sure to turn on post notifications and keep an eye out—spots will be limited and will likely fill quickly.

“Let your light shine before others.” ✨🤍

No pressure.
Just a fun, unique experience and some amazing photos.

👀 Now here’s the fun part…
