My childhood best friend got married and she asked me to capture her wedding weekend! Truly such an honor. I only cried about 10 times 🫶🏼 Tessa & Jake had a courthouse ceremony in downtown Annapolis and then celebrated with their family and friends at one of their favorite local Maryland breweries. I took way too many pictures but these are a couple of my favorites. Thank you guys so much for having me be a part of your wedding weekend! 🤍

Just got home from a Caribbean adventure with our girls ❤️ Addison turned ONE on this trip! Where did the time go?? Making as many memories and going on as many adventures as we can in this sweet season 🌊🌴

Favorite parts of this trip were visiting three gorgeous islands (St Kitts was beautiful!), having all our meals made for us (thank you ) 🙌🏼, and date nights with Justin courtesy of the kids club/nursery available to us on the ship. We’re definitely in our cruising era ✨🚢

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ We spent the day together at Festival of the Arts at Epcot 🌈 We went to the festival two weeks in a row thanks to my sweet photography clients booking shoots on Disney property. The best excuse to have a family Disney day 🤪

I’m coming off of 3+ weeks of being really sick. Like, never this sick in my life kind of sick. I had a few moments questioning if I was now chronically ill or if I had some underlying immune issue. Seems to have just been the worst virus (or conflict shock/healing phase program 🤪) ever. Three days of a high fever, three weeks of sinus congestion, and a violent stomach bug thrown right in the middle that even involved a 911 call 💀 I’m so grateful to be on the other side, feeling better and enjoying days at Disney World again!

We had the sweetest day at Epcot seeing princes (like the Beast!) out with their princesses for Valentine’s Day. Rare character sightings get passholders excited! Haha. In Mexico, they had a secret menu margarita that came with a valentines card. 💌 All the cast members were in an extra cheery mood. While it was a little crowded because of the holiday weekend, it was a really fun day to go to Disney! I’d love to make it a tradition for our family! 💕

People sometimes ask if we get tired of the parks having had passes for almost 4 years now. The answer is no, and somehow we’re still finding new things to do every time we go. The day is *never* long enough to get everything done that we want to do. We usually go with 2-3 “must do” items and by the time we do those, the park is closing. Yesterday Heidi really wanted to meet the REAL Anna & Elsa and ride Soarin’ ❤️ We have the best memories here at Disney. I think we might be passholders for a long time.

Next time you’re planning a Disney world vacation, keep me in mind for family photos… we love our family Disney days!!

Seeing the wildfire devastation in California is heart breaking. I was tearing up this morning reading about a fellow couple in the wedding industry who just bought their first home in LA last summer, and they’ve now lost it to the fires. I’m sharing a link in my story to donate to their go fund me.

I remember a few months ago when Tampa had its first direct hit from a hurricane exactly *1 week* after we closed on our house and it was terrifying… it challenged and humbled me very quickly to hold everything with open hands. I can’t imagine our house burning down.

There was a time in my life before having babies that I would go visit a close friend in Southern California a couple times a year. LA holds such a special place in my heart. I wish there was more we could do from the other side of the country. It’s such a beautiful place, from the people to the landscape, the homes and architecture, the fashion, the history. Visiting & shooting in Malibu was one of my wild bucket list dreams I thought would probably never happen. It’s hard to believe that many of the gorgeous beach front homes along the coast have been lost to the fires.

I’m going to share what I can with supporting those who have been affected. Continuing to pray for California, praying for God’s comfort, for rain, for a way to better prevent these wildfires, for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to rest in the goodness of His sovereignty. Please message me if you’re local to LA and have a way I can help or support!

Thank you Lord for another Thanksgiving together. ❤️ Thank you for our new home, having family live here in Florida with us, an amazing church community that lives and breathes the gospel, sweet friends I prayed a lifetime for, and two little girls that fill my days up with chaos and joy all at once. 🤣 Thanksgiving humbles me every year. I have way more than I deserve!

Another fun little family sesh at the Boardwalk 💛 It was a dream of mine for years to book family photos at Disney World and I still have to pinch myself sometimes that this is real life :)

I always like telling people that it was Justin who wanted me to birth outside of the hospital. I hear of so many women whose husbands would never consider such a thing… but Justin knew it wasn’t the place to bring Heidi into the world. This decision came a month before the world shut down in 2020 and hospitals started separating mothers & fathers. God guided Justin to lead me to leave my OB team and birth outside of the hospital system. It radically transformed our marriage. ⁣
⁣
To see my husband step up and learn everything he could about physiological birth was amazing. He attended a semester’s worth of birth classes, absorbing all he could about the labor & delivery process and how to best support me as I brought our child into the world. He had his hands on me, loving me in the most tender way possible, through every contraction. It took everything we’ve always said about how we love each other and made it tangibly and visibly real. I am so, so glad I didn’t opt for a needle and numbing drugs instead. I would have missed out on such a beautiful experience. ⁣
⁣
Labor brought me to the end of myself. I truly felt like my soul was leaving my body. I felt like I was dying. Isn’t it interesting that childbirth pain was the curse given in the garden after Eve sinned? Why childbirth? Why such intense physical torment? Because the “wages of sin is death.” The cost of rebellion against God was death entering the world. We feel the physical consequence of our fight against God when we give birth. ⁣
⁣
And yet, in an instant, new life. Pure joy. Glorious redemption. To me, it’s a metaphor that displays the hope of the gospel. We don’t have to experience the torment of death and eternal suffering because Christ rescued us from that when He died on the cross. After childbirth, I can now physically imagine the torment of eternal separation of God and it makes me love Jesus more because He saved me from it.⁣
⁣
What a gift to walk through this spiritual experience with my Justin. He’s watched me do it twice now, whispering prayers in my ear as Addison entered the world. I’m so thankful for his leadership and love. ⁣

I edited these photos, but I didn’t TAKE them… did for my sweet bride 😭 Lilly was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed over 4 years ago and we’ve kept in contact all these years. I was over the moon for her when she got engaged, and I was THRILLED when she asked me to be her wedding photographer this Fall in Jacksonville. Only the Lord knew that hurricane Milton would hit a few days before her big day and prevent me from being there.

I’ve never missed a wedding day before. I knew the backup plan of hiring an associate to stand in for me and then editing the photos myself… but I always dreaded the day I might have to utilize that process. As heartbreaking as it was to have to do so… Sarah was an answer to all our prayers. She shot Lilly & Harry’s day EXACTLY as I would have. I was going through her pictures and saying out loud, “This is uncanny how much these look like pictures I would have taken!”

This day was just gorgeous and this couple is so sweet and deserving of all the love and care in the world, so it was just such a blessing to have Sarah be there in my place to make sure they had the best pictures. 🫶🏻

Lilly and Harry, thank you so much for entrusting us to capture your day. I know it’s been long awaited and highly anticipated! I know God will bless your marriage as you keep Jesus at the center of your family. I’m so devastated I couldn’t be there, but goodness it looked like an incredible celebration. You all truly had the dream team! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Fulton!!

Oh man we had so much fun yesterday at Disney World 🎃 I think years ago I might have thought taking a baby and a 4 year old to Disney without Justin was borderline psychotic behavior, but we really had the best time. Addison got to meet Mickey, Heidi met Goofy for the first time, and Minnie told Heidi (through hand signs) how tall she’s getting 🥹❤️

I looked at my sister yesterday while waiting for Country Bear Jamboree and said, “I feel like we found the ultimate life hack living in Florida.” We’ve been passholders for 3 years now (high school us would have never dreamed!) and it still hasn’t gotten old… though we did just downgrade to the Florida resident Pixie Pass (week day only) to spend a fraction of what the other passes cost 🤪 It’s become a part of our family traditions to go see the Fall decorations at Magic Kingdom when the weather starts to get cooler. I think the real feel yesterday was under 100 degrees, so it was time to get into the autumn mood! 🍁

I watched Heidi make friends with the little girl next to her while waiting for the fireworks show to start. They giggled about Tinkerbell flying out from the castle and another little girl behind us overheard them and shouted, “WHAT?! The REAL Tinkerbell is going to come out?!” She proceeded to jump up and down ecstatically for the next 20 minutes waiting for Tinkerbell. The sounds of pure joy once she finally saw her made me teary eyed.

I’d been thinking about joy all day and how it’s one of the fruits of the Spirit (evidence in our life that we have Christ in our hearts and the Holy Spirit living in us). People like to make fun of Disney (especially adults who love going to Disney World 🤪) but Disney brings so much joy to so many families. It’s beyond heartwarming to see families making “once in a lifetime” memories together anytime we go. Every single time I’m at Magic Kingdom, it takes me back to my first trip to Disney at age 10 with my mom. It’s so special to be there now with my daughters making our own memories. I can’t wait to hear what their favorite moments were when they recall all these trips as adults! For now, I think Heidi’s highlight from yesterday was definitely Tinkerbell. 🥹

The love between a mother and daughter is like no other. 💗 Over the years, I’ve taken thousands of photos of moms and their daughters. It may not be a huge deal to most people, but it’s been so healing and special for me as someone who lost her mom at a young age. I love capturing moments like this. It’s truly magical and reminds me that as a photographer, I have the unique opportunity to make fleeting moments like this one last forever.
