This is my favorite thing we do all year 💛

The IMPACT Award was created to celebrate something that matters deeply to me…the way people choose to show up for others.

Kindness. Integrity. Service. Love. Joy.

These are the values behind this award, and after reading through all of your nominations, I can confidently say… this community is filled with some truly incredible teens.

Every single nominee was so deserving, and it was clear how much good is being done in big ways and small ones…through friendships, leadership, and the way they treat the people around them.

🏆Congratulations to our 2026 IMPACT Award winners Parker Boynton and Sophia Barfield!

You are making a difference in ways that truly matter.

Winners, be on the lookout for an email from me in the next few days with all the details

Finally, THANK YOU to this community for showing up the way you did, it means more than you know.

It’s time!!

IMPACT Award nominations are officially OPEN
(April 13–16)

This is my favorite thing we do all year—getting to celebrate the seniors who are making a difference in the lives of others.
The ones who show up
who include others
who lead with kindness in the everyday moments
And most of the time… they don’t even realize the impact they’re making.

Two years ago, we introduced the IMPACT Award, and because of this incredible community, it became something even more meaningful than I could have imagined.
You showed up in the best way, through hundreds of nominations, votes, and shares.
The stories that came in, the encouragement, and the way y’all rallied around each nominee was truly something special.

And after seeing just how powerful that was… it became really clear. The seniors are where this community is having the biggest impact, and there are simply too many incredible seniors to choose just one.

So this year, we’re leaning into that
Instead of recognizing one senior and one small business owner, we’ll be celebrating TWO outstanding rising seniors (Class of 2027)

Because this award is about more than photos.
It’s about celebrating who they are and the impact they’re making through kindness, integrity, service, love, and joy.

👉 Know a rising senior who deserves this? Nominate them using the link in bio, the link in stories, or at www.liveoaksphotography.com
Nominations close Thursday, so don’t wait.

And if you can, share this…send it to a friend, to your moms group, to local facebook groups, to your people.
The more we spread the word, the more teens we get to celebrate!

I truly can’t wait to read these and share their stories.
Let’s see how many times yall can make me cry this year!

A few months ago, so many of you showed up in such a meaningful way.

You nominated.
You voted.
You shared.

And because of that, Regan was chosen as this year’s Live Oaks Photography IMPACT Award winner.

But what you may not have fully seen… is the story behind your choice.

Just four days before her freshman year, Regan’s life changed in an instant. And the way she walked through it—with strength, faith, and quiet resilience—ended up impacting far more people than she ever realized.

I interviewed Regan and her family after her session and one thing stood out so clearly:

“I don't think I really realized the impact I've had on people, but winning the award and seeing the support from every person who commented or voted for me brought that to light.” -Regan Wiley

That moment—that realization—is exactly why this award exists.

Not for popularity.
Not for recognition.

But to reflect back to someone:
you matter… and the way you live your life is making a difference.

Her session was beautiful, yes, but more than that, it was meaningful.

It was about confidence.
About healing.
And about seeing herself the way so many others already did.

This is what YOU made possible.

I would love for you to take a few minutes to read her full story and see her senior session, it’s one I won’t forget.

And truly… THANK YOU for being the kind of community that shows up for people like this.

Just a heads up...nominations open soon for the 2026 IMPACT Award. I can't wait to meet who you choose this time!

Hey everyone! Remember the 🏆IMPACT Award?🏆 It’s all about recognizing those who are making a difference right here in our community, and we're so excited to share about this year’s Teen IMPACT Award winner—Autumn! 🌟

Thanks to all of you who nominated and voted, we had the chance to celebrate Autumn with a senior session at some of her favorite local spots—her high school stadium at ECHS where she directs the marching band, the always iconic Starr’s Mill, and historic downtown Senoia.

We can’t thank all you enough for being part of this, Autumn embodies everything that this award was created for and we are so blessed to have met her and her family! Head over to the blog (🔗 Link in the comments) to see all the highlights from Autumn’s session! We can’t wait to see who we’ll be celebrating next year!🤩

Having the BEST time with the amazing Jennifer Dekle Denton in San Antonio 😍 Yesterday I tagged along for two of her sessions, then today she turned her lens to me and we played in her beautiful studio. I cannot wait to see what we created together for my new branding images. Spoiler alert, there may have been confetti involved…🎊 did I mention she also did my makeup and helped with my hair? Not sure there is anything this woman cannot do!
