25 weeks. Four months old. And already one incredible story. 🩵

Sweet Gracen came into this world far earlier than anyone on Earth planned, but this tiny little fighter has shown just how much strength can be wrapped up in such a small package.

Looking at him today, snuggled up, peaceful, and SO incredibly good for his session, it’s hard not to be in awe of just how far he has come. So many prayers prayed. So many mountains climbed. So many people who fought right alongside him. And through every single day, God was there.

Gracen, your story is only beginning, but what a testimony your little life already is. A beautiful reminder that God is faithful, miracles still happen, and sometimes the smallest among us show us just how mighty our God truly is. 🙌

"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him." — 1 Samuel 1:27

🚨 YES, I STILL HAVE STUDIO AVAILABILITY! 🚨

Even though my evening + outdoor schedule is completely booked through the end of the year, weekday STUDIO sessions are still available to book!

This includes maternity, newborns, cake smashes, milestone sessions, headshots, in studio senior sessions, etc. So if you’ve been thinking about a studio session, you are NOT too late!

A couple other quick updates:

✅ Turnaround is still right around 2 weeks, possibly a day or two longer with how crazy our schedules have been. Senior season is officially in full swing and it makes me so happy! ❤️

📅 Evening + outdoor sessions are booked until after the new year, and I’m already booking Fall 2027! Like I always say, it’s NEVER too early to get on the schedule!

🌸 I may still offer some outdoor minis at some point, I just haven’t nailed down a date that works with our schedules yet!

There is just something extra special about getting to photograph kids you’ve had the privilege of watching grow up.
I’ve known this sweet girl for years, from her brother and Zach being best buddies growing up, to watching her cheer alongside Lily, she’s now a SENIOR. And apparently also a Disney princess, because seriously… 😍
She brought along a photo I took of her probably 14 years ago in Pre-K AND her favorite childhood stuffed animal, which may have been the sweetest thing ever.
Mother Nature decided we were done before we actually were, so her football cheer pictures will have to wait for round two. But I’m definitely not complaining about getting another evening with this sweet girl and her Momma. ❤️

Still looking for the next family to love our house as much as we have. It makes my heart so happy thinking of someone else raising their family here. 🥹🫶🏻

I couldn't just leave you with a few sneak peeks of Lou in the wildflowers. 🌼 I've been lucky enough to capture so many of the big milestones for this family over the years, and getting to be a small part of each new chapter is something I'll never take for granted. Here's a few more of my favorites! 🩷

One of my favorite parts of this job is that every session is a little different. 😂

Tonight Savannah asked me what the most unique animal I've ever photographed was... and honestly, I don't think anything is topping her ostriches anytime soon.

I'm still convinced they're just feathered dinosaurs roaming around pretending to be birds. 😂 They were equal parts fascinating and slightly intimidating, but I'd absolutely photograph them again in a heartbeat.

Senior photos + dinosaurs? I'd call that a successful evening. 📸🦖

Another year, another family session in the books! It's always fun to see how much the kids have grown since the last time I saw them. 😊

Current editing schedule! 🧡

Bear with me as this past week has been a little wild. Between VBS at church all week, 8 sessions, playing meteorologist trying to outsmart the rain and juggle reschedules, getting Sammy ready to head to Gulf Shores, and just regular family life... I've gotten a little behind on messages.

I'm hoping to get caught up and have all messages responded to today. Thank you all so much for your patience and for always being so understanding! 🫶
