Sometimes life puts something really good right in front of you, and somehow you still know it isn’t where your heart belongs.

I turned down an incredible opportunity. An assistant management position at a studio, amazing pay, incredible benefits, stability, all of it. I was genuinely SO excited about it. And honestly, on paper, it made perfect sense.

But then I started thinking about everything I’ve already built.

The weddings already on my calendar. The couples who trusted me with one of the biggest days of their lives. The miles I’ve driven, the late nights editing, the weekends away from home, the money I’ve poured into this business, and all the times I kept going when quitting probably would’ve been easier.

I couldn’t give that up.

Photography started as something I loved, and somewhere along the way it became this whole little life I built for myself. And I’m just not done seeing where it can take me yet.

Sometimes a great opportunity can still be the wrong opportunity for you. And sometimes choosing your dream means saying no to something really good because you believe there’s still something greater ahead.

So I chose this. The weddings, the photos, the crazy schedule, the traveling, the uncertainty and all the beautiful little moments in between.

Here’s to betting on myself one more time and seeing just how far this little dream of mine can go. 🤍

Some love stories are loud and crazy, and some just feel like your favorite song playing at the perfect time. 🤍

Ashley + Shad have been together for almost four years and have five kiddos between them. When Ashley told me they were “truly boring” I laughed because honestly, I think that’s the best kind of love sometimes. Just doing life together, raising babies, working, laughing and choosing the same person over and over again.

Ashley is the beauty behind Ashley Lauren || Pooler • Savannah GA Hairstylist and owns her own salon studio AND professional hair product company. Basically miss girl stays BUSY. 😂 Shad doesn’t have social media, which honestly might make him the smartest one out of all of us lol.

She told me she loves anything Taylor Swift and also loves “Favorite Song,” and I thought that was kinda perfect for them. Almost four years later and through all the normal everyday chaos of life, they still found their favorite person. The one you want on repeat. 🤍

And if this is what they call boring, I’ll take boring any day. 🫶🏻

Okay but their story is actually the cutest. 😭🤍

She moved to Georgia from West Virginia her 10th-grade year, and Blake SWEARS he knew she was the one the very first day he met her. Like, went home from school and told his brother all about her kind of knew. 🥹

They finally started dating the summer between their junior and senior year, and after that? Good luck separating them. 🤣 Unless life absolutely forced them to be apart, they simply were not having it.

But the part that really got me was when she told me she never knew love could feel this calm before Blake. 🤍 They were both two broken teenagers when they found each other, and somehow they grew up together, loved each other through it, and helped put each other back together along the way. She genuinely believes they saved each other, and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m EMOTIONAL. 😭🫶🏻

From high school sweethearts to soulmates. Now THAT is my kind of love story. 🤍

It was SO hard to pick through all of these photos we took at the Biltmore, but honestly, I don’t think the conservatory gets nearly as much recognition as it deserves. The entire property was so versatile and gave us the most beautiful backdrops.

Lizzie + Danny flew all the way from Texas to make this session happen, and I seriously cannot wait for their wedding next year. Thank you guys for all the laughs and for making it feel like we had known each other for years. I was so comfortable with you both from the very beginning, and between all of us, I think we already have enough inside jokes for people to make fun of us at the wedding. 😂

You guys are truly the best. Thank you for choosing me to capture such special memories for you. 🤍

Man, I’m telling y’all… with the amount of driving I’ve done lately, I’m honestly surprised I’m awake and forming sentences at this point. I’ve been bouncing around a few different states, photographing the sweetest people and somehow squeezing in so many beautiful sessions along the way. My camera roll is thriving. My sleep schedule, however, is absolutely not.

I know I’ve been a little MIA, but I promise it’s because SO much has been happening behind the scenes. Between traveling, photographing weddings and sessions, meeting with my sweet brides and grooms, editing, and planning my upcoming styled shoot, your girl has been BUSY busy.

But that means I have SO much beautiful content coming your way this week, and I seriously cannot wait to share it all. Stay tuned because she’s alive, slightly sleep deprived, probably caffeinated, and she has PHOTOS.
