I’m all the way back.

I’ve missed this. Having my camera in hand, creating art, stilling moments, preserving life in portraits. I’ve missed laughing with so many of you, being invited into the most joyous moments of your lives, getting the best view of your best memories.

A few years ago I announced I was stepping away from photography for a while. My babies were so little and they needed me to be present a lot more than I was. I was dealing with some health issues that needed my full attention. And ultimately, I needed rest. Being an entrepreneur is incredibly demanding, and at the time the short retirement was needed, and I don’t regret it. It led me to more presence with my family, physical healing, and clarity for my future in photography.

Y’all respected my decision to step away. You were kind and gracious to me the entire time. And over many months, you encouraged me by your loyalty, often saying that if I ever came back, you’d be first in line to get in front of my camera again. I don’t take the compliment lightly.

My husband and I have been talking about and praying over the decision to step back into photography. While my role as mom always comes first, I’m also a photo editor and I don’t want to conflict with my editing schedule. But, creators need to create, so I’ve decided to return to photography in a limited but intentional capacity.

Beginning today, I am offering photo sessions a few times a month. From couples to families, I’ll be behind the camera capturing portraits that feel like you while still serving up an effortless and timeless style that you’ve come to know, love and expect of my brand from the past 10 years.

I have 14 dates available through December. My calendar has been conveniently linked. I’m so excited to see y’all again!

As for weddings…more on that coming soon 😉.

I was a college graduate photographer in another life 🤍.

Wishing congratulations to all of the college grads (especially my sweet cousin JoJo)! 🍾

*Just a friendly reminder that I am currently on break from booking new portrait sessions or weddings, just wanted to share a little preview from my cousin’s session, which was previously booked.

Hello all! I'm thinking about offering film exclusive mini sessions on a few Friday evenings in mid-late April on the Capitol grounds (which is always stunning in the spring)! These would be 30 minute sessions, three rolls of film (which is about 48 images) for $325, online gallery and digital download release included. The images here are self portraits on film just before I had Drew last spring and were taken at the Capitol in mid-April. I wanted to check on the interest of these before I decide to open them up!

Sharing a look back at Veronica and Jim’s most joyous and gorgeous winter wedding ❄️🩵❄️.

This was my third Donovan Family Wedding, and each time it felt like I was in the presence of my own family. What incredible, down to earth, full of faith people!

I’m thrilled to be delivering their full gallery this week (with over 1,600 images!).

There is no greater honor as a photographer than to be chosen time and time again to photograph a family.

I first met Michaela and Tristan in 2021 when they hired me to photograph their wedding. These two have such kind and selfless hearts and that was evident instantly when I met them at their engagement session, so we really hit it off. It was one of those “feels like old friends” situations. We’ve kept in contact since their wedding, and I was truly elated when they asked me to photograph their sweet newborn’s first portrait session.

Meet sweet Henry Lee Brandt 🩵. This little guy is beyond precious, and was extra good to me with this only being my fourth career newborn session. He’s spoiled me into wanting to do more!

Swipe to the end to see a flashback to Michaela and Tristan’s engagement session and wedding. Congratulations you two! So happy to be a part of these big moments in your lives! Henry is blessed beyond measure that you’re his parents!

Mini sessions are in full swing and it’s so good to see this little family in front of my camera again!
