What is something I personally believe is hard to find in a photographer? One that can capture curvy women. Not only capture us..but make us feel beautiful and not just repeat what we see in the mirror on our worst days. When I started wanting to capture Austin and Iโ€ฆI would scroll through the portfolio and see if there were even any curvy women there. Guess whatโ€ฆabout of photographers have hardly any on their websites or portfolios. I love capturing women who feel hard to capture. Who need more confidence then theyโ€™re willing to give themselves. Who need the pep talks for every single frameโ€ฆwhy? Thereโ€™s this beautiful challenge in capturing women who donโ€™t feel pretty daily. They book me and Iโ€™m the reason they go outside their box to feel the things they shove aside all the other days. I knowโ€ฆbecause itโ€™s me. I am that woman. And to find a photographer that can make me feel beautiful without photoshop is someone Iโ€™d recommend to everyone. There are of course those gorgeous women who refuse to see their beauty. Nothing I do will change that, but for those who trust me and my processโ€ฆand can see their curves and allow me to capture them in their gorgeousness. If their hubbies are anything like mineโ€ฆthey love all the figure we have. So here are a few tips for how to capture a curvy woman.
1. STYLING. Style matters more than anyone thinks. It can hype your body or destroy it. The camera is only 1/3 of the equation. Wearing a look for YOUR body is ESSENTIAL. Which is why I offer styling guidance and personalized wardrobe recommendations for every single client. Whether you book my small session or my largest.
2. Angles, angles, angles. Look at the camera before and after every shot. You can physically see if the belly protrudes, or if the jawline isnโ€™t flattering. Twist them, squat them, sit them, make them do all the awkward angles to capture their curve. Or move yourself to be at the right angle for them. Itโ€™s not about a good photoโ€ฆitโ€™s about a great photo OF THEM.
3. Pep talk. Constantly. Because while weโ€™re doing the capturingโ€ฆthey are fighting confidence the entire session. My goal is to fight back and make them know theyโ€™re gorgeous โค๏ธ

I just got home from 11 days on the road with my 6 month old and my dad..the greatest road dogs besides ever besides my actual road dog ๐Ÿ˜‚ Here are some tipsโ€ฆand also my daughter has so far been to 12 states ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป And man do I have some tips if youโ€™re considering a roadtrip tooโ€ฆ

1. Planning around naps is crucial. My daughter sleeps late into the morning so getting an early start so she sleeps long gets miles down easily.
2. When she wakes up we try to find a good stopping point whether itโ€™s a restaurant, a park, a hikeโ€ฆsomething that will take up her wake window out of the car seat. Which for her is a minimum of 2 hours. This way she gets plenty of stimulation, and is ready for a good nap. Good nap=lots of miles driven.
3. 6 hours driving is a decent road trip day. It means either 2 hours driving and 2 big breaks or we can possibly get a 3 hour drive in depending on her nap schedule. This almost always allows us to get to our Airbnb before dark and enjoy dinner and a few hours out of the car before sleep.

Stay tuned for more tips:D Next for Shilohโ€™s schedule is Texas and Hawaii next month ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

1. Letโ€™s take the machine they adore. Whether dirtbike, atv..side by sideโ€ฆlifted jeepโ€ฆwhat do they have parked in the garage that they love.
2. Donโ€™t look at meโ€ฆthey donโ€™t love me. They donโ€™t know me ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ They doooo love you โค๏ธ Way more cooperative when they can just sink into your connection.
3. Itโ€™s all play and no work. Get rowdy, messy, adventurous. Let loose and the good shots will come without the forced smiles.
4. Bring breath mints bc Iโ€™m guna make you kiss a lot๐Ÿ˜‚ I meanโ€ฆhappy man=happy lady ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

โ€œAre you open toโ€ฆโ€ YES. Any email, message or text that starts with those words is always followed by a yes. It started with elopements on boat in the open oceanโ€ฆthen it was adventurous hikes through thick jungles and crazy roads. Now itโ€™s ATVs, dirt bikes, backcountry adventures in rugged terrain. Whether itโ€™s dirty, muddy, rainyโ€ฆadventurous, requires a helmet, flies over snowy mountains, learning to ice skateโ€ฆor somehow planning where to be for an epic shotโ€ฆthe answer is yes. Iโ€™m down for any adventureโ€ฆno matter how wild ๐Ÿ˜

Every year, the leaves begin as almost nothingโ€”tiny buds that slowly unfold into mountains of green, filling the trees with life.

Then, as the seasons turn, they begin to change. They wait patiently for the cold, until finally, they are given their one chance to let go.

To become unclipped from the branch they have known all their lives, and to take their once-in-a-lifetime flight.

Perhaps that is what makes autumn so beautiful. It is fleeting. It doesnโ€™t stay.

For just a little while, everything turns goldenโ€”before the leaves surrender to the wind and return to the earth.

Autumn is brief, but somehow, in that briefness, it becomes even more beautiful. Catching it while we canโ€ฆ

Okโ€ฆI wanna hear from you mamasโ€ฆhow long after the first did you start craving the second? ๐Ÿ‘€ Or were you one baby family? Or did 6 babies follow ๐Ÿ˜‚ Was it when they were 6 months and growing too fast and all of a sudden another pregnancy didnโ€™t seem scary? Because these babies manโ€ฆI go back and forth on if we want to have another one. Then Iโ€™m reminded of my hard pregnancies and overcoming that fear to enter another oneโ€ฆbut then I keep booking these adorable babies and the time FLIES. So fast that you want another one to have the newborn breath again and the tiny clothes that only fit them for a couple weeks ๐Ÿฅน Soโ€ฆhow long for you mamas until you were craving another one??

1 Corinthians says that love suffers long.

Some versions say love is patient, but Iโ€™ve always loved this one.

Because love is so much more than patience.

Sometimes, love bleeds.
It hurts.
It cuts.
It shifts our world on its axis.

And somehow, it also heals us.
Saves us.
Sacrifices for us.

What a strange and immeasurable power four little letters can hold.

Behind my lens, Iโ€™ve witnessed so many of its beautiful forms.

The new loves.
The old ones.
The ones who broke cycles.
The ones who overcame.
Families. Lovers. Fur babies.
The quiet, ordinary moments that become sacred simply because they are shared.

And when Iโ€™m in a room with two people who have loved each other for years, I can feel it.

I feel the hard prayers.
The hard seasons.
The hands held through long nights.
The laughter that came after the tears.
The growing, changing, becoming.

I feel the depth of everything love has carried.

Because real love isnโ€™t weightless.

It has history.
It has sacrifice.
It has scars.
It has roots.

And love like thatโ€”
the kind that has been lived, tested, stretched, and still grown deeper with timeโ€”

time tells its story.

So then I find you tucked away in an Airbnb, breathing each other in. Bare feet on the floor. Morning light spilling through the windows. The rest of the world temporarily forgotten.

And I capture more than the way you look at each other.

I capture the life youโ€™ve created together.

The years.
The tenderness.
The quiet.
The wildness.
The becoming.

A love that has suffered long.

A love that has endured.

A love that remains unyielding to the limits of this life.

If I asked you to meet me in the woodsโ€ฆwould you chase the sunlight through the trees with me?
If I stood in the rainโ€ฆwould you take my hand and go dancing?
If the darkness chased us through the nightโ€ฆwould you guide me to the stars?
Can we greet the sunrise with our toes in the earth?
There was once a time I did it all without the question.
Then you cameโ€ฆand now there is only after you. You fill each void that lingered before. You chase the chaos with me. You fill the spaces I never knew were empty.
And suddenly, every adventure has your name written into it.
