The Prestwood family’s morning session in downtown Madison was one of those sessions that felt extra special. We planned their photos around Shepard’s routine, and it couldn’t have been more perfect; the quiet streets, the soft morning light, and a little guy with the sweetest personality and the BLUEST of eyes 🥹.

This session also held a special place in my heart because Shepard and my own daughter share a birthday month. Getting to see him at the same age as my little girl and watch him grow, explore, and flourish was such a beautiful reminder of how quickly these seasons move.

Family photos aren’t just about documenting what your family looks like right now, they’re about remembering how this season felt. The little hands, the drool, the smiles, and the all the tiny details you never want to forget.

So thankful I got to preserve this chapter for the Prestwood family of three 🤍

Senior Sunday // Meet Maddie

I’ve had the joy of photographing Maddie since she was a little girl, and now she’s thriving in college. Watching my clients grow through the years is one of the greatest gifts this job has given me.

Not to forget to mention, a little location love, too. 🌻 These portraits were taken at Almosta Farm and Depot , my favorite Middle Georgia photography venue. Owned by my incredible in-laws, every corner of the property has been thoughtfully designed with photographers in mind, and their new zinnia field is absolutely stunning. I already know fall is going to be beautiful out there!

If you’re a rising senior or looking for a charming location for your next family session, I’d love to meet you at Almosta Farm & Depot.

Congratulations, Maddie! I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see where life takes you next. ❤️

Senior Sunday // Meet Blake

A STUNNING Senior who chose a Summer portrait experience, and I could not have loved this session more.

The first half of her session was at one of my favorite UGA locations, the Founders Memorial Garden. There is something so special about this space; the quiet paths, the flowers in bloom, and the ability to slow down and truly enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

Senior photos are about so much more than just the final images. They are about capturing confidence, personality, and the person you have become before stepping into your next chapter. Blake absolutely brought that energy, and I am so excited to share more from her session.

If you’re a Class of 2027 senior (or a parent of one!), now is the perfect time to start planning your senior portrait experience. Check the link in bio to book!

The sweetest seasons are the ones that pass by the quickest. ❤️

Baby Easton’s in-home newborn session was a reminder of why I love documenting these moments so much; not just the tiny details, but the story of those first days at home. The sleepy snuggles in the nursery, the little outfit changes after spit ups, the every-three-hour feeds, and parents finding their footing in this brand new chapter. Because this season isn’t about perfection. It’s about the little moments that become the memories you never want to forget.

Easton was so prayed for and is so incredibly loved. Watching Ashleigh and Michael step into parenthood has been such a beautiful reminder of God’s goodness, and it was such an honor to capture this beginning for their family.

And to all the sweet mamas currently growing their families; while I have been loving all of the maternity sessions on my calendar, I also offer in-home newborn sessions to help preserve those first days once baby arrives. Those tiny moments are fleeting, but they are so worth remembering.

To the dads who carry little hands on their shoulders, wipe tears, tell the best stories, and make their children feel safe in a big world, Happy Father’s Day.

Getting to witness and preserve these relationships is one of my greatest privileges as a photographer. This one photographed is especially close to my heart. Watching my husband become the father our daughter adores has been one of life’s sweetest gifts.

Here’s to the fathers, grandfathers, bonus dads, and father figures who show up every day with love, patience, and strength. The moments may seem ordinary now, but they are the memories your children will cherish forever.

Happy Father’s Day. ❤️
