I am back from my quick trip to my hometown to celebrate a pretty big milestone—my son's graduation!!! ❤️🎓

….& BUSY SEASON STARTS TODAY!!! 📸🩵🏝️

If you've reached out about booking a session, I'm spending today catching up on messages, inquiries, and emails, so if you haven't heard back from me yet, you will soon.

If you're waiting on a gallery, I'm working my way through edits and getting galleries delivered as quickly as possible. Chances are we've already discussed an estimated turnaround time, and I'm still on track.

I do still have some mini session spots available in June and July! I'll drop the updated availability and booking link in the comments for anyone wanting to snag a spot before they're gone.

And just in case nobody has reminded you….

☀️ IT'S BEACH SEASON, Y'ALL!

Sea you soon! 🩵🏝️📸

A little scheduling update from me 🤍

After today’s sessions, I’m officially hitting pause on sessions until next weekend so I can fully soak in one of the biggest moments of motherhood… my son’s graduation week!🥹🎓

This upcoming week will be all about celebrations, family time, senior festivities, and making memories with my boy before he steps into his next chapter. Because of that, I do not have any availability this next week.

If you’ve recently had a session with me and are waiting on your gallery—no worries at all! I will still be editing behind the scenes, and galleries will continue going out on schedule as promised.

Also, just a heads up — I’ll be in North Alabama hosting my son’s graduation party May 28th-31st and will likely be mostly unavailable during that time as well.

Once I return…busy season officially kicks into full gear around here!!!☀️🌊📸

Let's talk about my POST-session process ☀️

One thing I started last year that I will never go back from...

After your session, I upload EVERY. SINGLE. IMAGE from your session. Yep--all of them. The smiling ones, goofy ones, perfect ones, eyes closed & accidentally out of focused ones. ALL of them.

At first, I hesitated to do this because a part of me felt like it took away from the magic of my clients seeing their images for the first time fully edited. But honestly, I love it and my clients love it.

Not only do my clients get to choose the moments that matter most to them but they also get to truly see the difference between a raw image and the final hand edited version. They get to see just how much love, time and detail I pour into every single photograph.

--------------------------------

Once your PROOF gallery is ready, you'll receive a pixieset link where you can go through and "favorite" the images you love most. It's super easy. Just click the little heart icon over each image as you scroll through.

Then the editing magic begins.✨

I take your favorites list and hand edit every single image one by one.

While editing I am:
- removing people from the background so it looks like we had the beach to ourselves.
- fixing fly away hairs that Gulf breeze and Alabama humidity gifts us with.
- straightening horizon lines
- adjusting lighting and skin tones
- cleaning up distractions
- polishing all the little details that bring your images to life.

Every single gallery is carefully crafted with intention because these are your memories.

Once editing is complete, your final gallery is delivered fully formatted for downloading and high quality printing wherever you'd like. (I can recommend a few labs I prefer! I'll make another post about printing labs)

This process has changed the experience for both me and my clients and I'm never going back! 🩵

See before and after editing magic!✨

SUNSET SESSION
Lighting + Sky Talk ☀️🌤️

TRUST ME TO CHASE THE LIGHT FOR YOU.✨

One thing I really want my clients and potential clients to understand and trust me on is lighting and timing.

I can't control the sky. Some nights it's soft and dreamy, some nights it's bold and dramatic and sometimes it just does it's own unpredictable thing entirely...and all of it is out of my hands.

But lighting? That's where magic happens and that is something I plan very intentionally. Your session time isn't random. It's carefully chosen based on the sun, the season, and how the light hits the beach at that exact time of day.

There's a small window where everything comes together. The glow, the tones, the softness.

That's why arriving on time is so important. It allows me to give you the best version of this light and the signature look you see in a lot of my work.

I also know that summer months bring later sunsets, which means later session times. And I know that can be tough with little ones. If you book my sunset session time, I always recommend encouraging a later nap time that day if at all possible to help them show up happy and ready!

Trust me to chase the light for you! I promise I'm putting you in the best possible position to get beautiful images!
