2025… what. a. year. 🖤✨

Looking back, I’m honestly so grateful for every single moment I was able to capture. From weddings and newborns, to families, sports, laughter, tears, and everything in between — you trusted me with your memories, and that is something I’ll never take for granted.

Every session this year reminded me why I love what I do. I’ve watched families grow, love stories unfold, and little ones hit big milestones. I’ve met new faces, reconnected with familiar ones, and felt supported every step of the way by this amazing community.

Thank you for choosing Rawhide Photography & Design, for sharing my posts, booking sessions, referring me to friends, and believing in me and my work. You truly are the reason this dream keeps going 🤎

As we head into 2026, things are looking a little different in the very best way — I’ll be starting my maternity leave in just a couple of weeks! I’m so excited for this next chapter, and I appreciate all the love, patience, and support more than you know. ✨

Here’s to everything 2025 brought us, and to everything still ahead. I can’t wait to get back behind the camera and continue capturing your memories when the time comes. 📸🤎

A little Rawhide update 🤠📸

I’ll be stepping back from photography sessions starting January 20th, 2026 as I start maternity leave.
Right now, I’m planning to return in May 2027, but that might change to sooner — so keep an eye on this page for updates! 👶💛

Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown me and my little business — it means the world. ❤️

🫶🏻 L + D 🫶🏻

There’s something extra special about photographing people you’ve known for years.

These two are close friends from my college days, and it was so nice to reconnect while capturing their fall photoshoot 🍂

Thank you both for trusting me behind the lens!

👉 How to receive your photo:
-Message me with a screenshot of the photo you’d like.

📸 Photo Update 📸

Just a quick note for everyone — photos this weekend are going to be limited. All three rings are very, very dusty, which makes shooting and editing a challenge. I’ll still be out capturing moments, but please keep in mind that the dust may affect both the quantity and clarity of the photos.

If conditions get too bad, I will have to stop taking photos for safety and quality reasons.

Thank you all for understanding — I’ll do my best to get you the memories you’re hoping for despite the conditions! ✨

📸 Update for Caledonia Exhibition!

Due to the high number of people asking — and since I haven’t seen many photographers around at the exhibition — I’ve decided to bring my camera out on Saturday. 🎡🐴

If you’d like photos, please comment below or message me at (902) 298-5503 with your name and the class you’d like pictures of.

This way I can keep things organized and make sure I don’t miss anyone! Spots will still be limited, so the sooner you reach out, the better.

Looking forward to capturing some memories while enjoying the exhibition myself! ✨
