🚨 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 🚨

I will no longer be posting identifiable images of children on my page, whether you have given permission or not...

the Seventh Circuit - United States Court of Appeals ruled on August 25, 2026, that the First Amendment protects the private, at-home possession of AI-generated sexual images of fictional children that do not depict real human victims.

That is enough for me to say: I will not be a part of the problem. It’s time to protect children.

We are living in a time where technology can take an innocent photograph of a child and manipulate it into something deeply harmful. If our laws and government are not going to adequately protect children from what AI is capable of doing with their images, it’s our responsibility to protect them.

I have always kept children’s safety and dignity above everything else, and I want to continue making choices that I believe will stand on the right side of history.

It means fewer images are posted publicly. And that’s okay, because I already do that.

The safety of children will always come first.

October 17th

Before I forget… I’ve had several people ask about Midland’s Homecoming! ❤️🤍

Just like last year, I’ll be at the Village of Barboursville capturing photos.

If you’d like pictures of your family, friends, or your Homecoming group, leave a comment below! 💃🕺🪩📸 I’ll be there even if you want last minute pictures.

Below are some pictures from last year!

I don’t often share the volunteer work I do with different organizations, but volunteering with NILMDTS is a ministry that is incredibly close to my heart.

I truly believe God calls us to love others well, especially in their deepest moments of grief. It is an honor to be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving families who are experiencing unimaginable loss. My prayer is that every interaction reflects His compassion, His peace, and His love, while providing families with precious memories they will cherish forever. I simply hope to love others the way Christ loves us and to offer the same care and kindness I would pray someone would show my own family in the same situation.

This was my first session since becoming pregnant, and it touched my heart in a way I can’t fully put into words. Every session is deeply personal and emotional, and every baby and every family leaves a lasting imprint on my heart. I never take for granted the privilege God has given me to serve these families during such a sacred moment. Pray for every family walking this difficult road, that they would experience the comfort, hope, and peace that only He can provide.

If you’re able to volunteer in anyway to help an organization, do it, you won’t regret it.

this child has a full personality, and he is never afraid to show it.

Childhood is meant to be messy, goofy, adventurous, and full of genuine smiles. No stiff poses. No forced smiles.

If you’ve been putting off family or milestone photos because you’re worried your kids “won’t sit still,” don’t. Some of the best images happen when we simply let them be kids.

I’d love to capture your family’s story just as it is. 😀

Adoption days are incredibly special, but they’re also deeply complex.

An adoption decree doesn’t erase the abuse, neglect, loss, or trauma a child has experienced. It doesn’t make the grief disappear. What it does is mark the beginning of a new chapter, a promise of love, commitment, safety, and belonging.

These days deserve to be celebrated while also honoring the journey that brought a child there. Both joy and grief can exist at the same time, and that’s okay.

This is one of the reasons adoption days hold such a special place in my heart. They tell a story of resilience, hope, and unconditional love. If your family is celebrating an adoption day and would like those memories documented with care and compassion, I would be honored to capture them for you. ❤️

This past week, I had the honor of volunteering as a photographer and videographer at a camp for children who have experienced foster care, while also learning about the Gospel and the love of Christ.

What a blessing it was to use this gift God has given me to capture the joy, laughter, friendships, and unforgettable moments these children experienced throughout the week. Photographs preserve memories that can be cherished for years to come, and I am grateful to have been part of documenting such special moments.

Beyond the photos and videos, the greatest blessing was getting to know the children, volunteers, and staff. I met some truly amazing people whose kindness, resilience, and hearts for others left a lasting impact on me.

I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve and to witness firsthand the love, encouragement, and hope being poured into the lives of these children. It was a week filled with purpose, and one I will never forget.

I love photography and this is my reason.
