I'M BACK! Well, kinda-sorta. We've moved back to Catawba county, and while I'm still in a season of focusing on my family, I've been missed this. After some prayer and figuring, I have decided to host mini sessions on our farm a couple times a year. Since "retiring", I have had many previous clients reach out asking if I was available for sessions, simply because "finding a new photographer we're comfortable with is hard". And I so get that and have missed it. SO, this is my effort to make myself available in a small way to these sweet loyal people or anyone who would love a very casual, fun, opportunity for some updated photos.

My first round of minis will be this spring- Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2 hosted on our farm in Catawba. There will be limited slots available. If you're interested, please reach out to me. preferably via email ([email protected]) or text if you have my phone number.

If these dates don't work for you, but you would like a mini session with me, please reach out, I am hoping to plan weekends of minis both this summer and fall and would like to take recommendations on when would work for most.

Looking forward to capturing these memories for you all again!

*RETIRED from photography for the foreseeable future*

Hello friends! Thank you thank you THANK YOU for your support over the past EIGHT years of this little business! It’s time for me to close the books, put the lens cap on, and focus on my family. We are in a season of life where we are learning to slow down and start new adventures as a family including more homesteading and our first year of homeschooling!

You guys- my loyal friends and return clients are what have made being a photographer so grand and it’s what makes it hurt to cease for this season. As always, I’m here for you guys if you need photographer recommendations and such. Love you all!

One thing that I love about being a photographer is getting to know salt-of-the-earth people. Miles and Cheyenne Jones are some of those people. Miles is a PRCA bull-fighter and was severely injured Friday night. A campaign has been started to help this sweet family out. Please, please, prayerfully consider contributing and covering them with prayer.

the one where your brother-in-law and almost sis-in-law (but in all honesty she’s been part of the family forever) get engaged and ask you to do their engagement photos. And they bring bourbon 🥃

Scroll for the craziest rollercoaster of weather I’ve ever experienced during a ceremony ➡️

Josh + Brynna’s day was without a doubt perfect. Though we had a downpour during the ceremony, causing the officiant’s papers to stick together, but the RAINBOW. The pictures are a sermon of God’s promise and covenant. Not one guest batted an eye with the skies opened. It was so evident how these two are so loved by all that were there. And what a JOY it was to get drenched with you all. Forever treasuring this day.
