Is it possible to relive sessions? Because I’d capture this over and over.🕊️

The love. The colors. The sky. The moments. The trust.

Kinda took my breath away.

I may have thanked my sweet clients over and over for allowing space for me to be extra creative with their session. We had so much fun creating together and their trust was unmatched.

I love this art. I love hearing your stories. I love the forever connections.

And it’s a special kind of love to create and kind of forget the world for a bit. To let the fast pace of life melt to the background while we literally and physically soak in the sunset and each moment of fleeting light we have left together.

I just want them to look back on photos and feel their childhood.

Like this palpable overwhelming feeling of joy and longing that can coexist together.

I want memories and inside jokes stored deeply in each photo.

Like how a spider crawled into Lydie’s boot and I pulled her on the wagon back home because we all refused to look inside, or that I scrubbed blue paint for way too long out of their hair, or how no matter how much Lydie wanted to paint a real photo she let Levi do his thing because that’s the kind of big sister she is, or the way they giggled and kept holding each other up on the chair.

It’s always in the details. It’s when we take the time to stop worrying about everything else or what our expectations are we just live with purpose presently together.

That’s the real art.

This sweet family came all the way from Texas for family photos + to celebrate their little girl turning 1!🥹

They are extra special to me because I got to capture their engagement session in Pittsburgh before we moved. To this date- one of my very favorite sessions in the whole entire world. It poured harder than it ever did that day on us and they just slow danced in the rain as the world melted away.

To now watching that very same love being poured over into their little girl. Getting to watch their world melt away again as they played in the ocean together was another kind of joy I didn’t know could exist.

I knew capturing milestones + moments in peoples lives would be an emotional rollercoaster of a job. But I could never prepare for the people that kept along the ride with them years and years later. It is a whole other level of creation together. A gift I never knew I needed.

🎥 I’ll try and make this short + sweet…

Yet, I’m never actually good at that.🙃

Maddie was one of my students my first year of teaching in my third grade classroom. I don’t have words for how much I adore her. So you can only imagine how special + sweet it was to have her here in Wilmington to capture her senior photos.

She originally came down here and there was a bad tropical storm and so she flew back down again and there was a hurricane. Honestly, the odds of that?😅 So we found a pocket of time and made absolute magic happen. She came back to our home and we went through all 78992 of her photos and we picked some of our favorites together.

Will I ever get over the trust to still these moments in time for people? No. But especially for kids I’ve gotten to watch grow into young adults. It is just something special. An immense honor that I hold so dear to my heart.🤍

Grateful beyond measure for couples who trust me enough to travel here.🥹😭

Grateful for a camera that can literally shoot quality in pitch black dark.✨

A special place where you can adventure, be free to dance, collect all the wildflowers, hide out in forts by the sea, + need the light to guide you back.🕯️

Mundane will always win for me. The seemingly small every day things we do that actually are art and history in the making.

Moments that arguably should be documented with the highest level of intention and accuracy.

Like when we look back at old photos we usually aren’t looking at just the most pivotal moments in our lives. We’re aching to remember the feeling of little hands in ours, the dimples from only a deep belly giggle, the rush of young love, the walls and scent of our homes, the youthfulness we didn’t know we had until we realized it’s slipping.

At least, that’s it for me. I want to hit rewind and revisit the past mundane moments even for a fleeting second. The only really way to do that until time machines are a thing, is to encapsulate your life and your children’s childhood in the most intentional way we can— together.

It takes connecting. Sometimes deep talks. Some letting go and letting loose. A heavy dose of trust. A safe haven to just be.

And for me, it’s all worth it. Every.single.time.

What a haven for real moments feels like.🕊️

The art of you. 🕊️

How you love your family is pure art.

Don’t let comparison tell you that isn’t true.

Don’t wait to tangibly hold onto these years.

How you live + love your family is beautifully unique to you.

It’s the greatest gift to your children.

It’s in stories they will forever tell for generations to come.

That’s worth holding onto, forever.

🤍
