Hello friends!! I figured after all of the notifications of my business page being viewed, I should probably pop in and give y'all some updates. We are officially settled down in our new home! Those close to us know we bought a fixer upper and have been tirelessly remodeling for the last few months. Thankfully that is all over! Now it's time to get used to life being back in the south (even thought we miss Texas dearly) As of Friday, I am officially registered to do business in Alabama and am open for sessions beginning November 1st. I have a gorgeous 16x20 studio (in my backyard !) that I can't wait to show off to y'all once I finish setting it up. As most of you know, I homeschool my first grader, so because of that I will only be taking on 4 sessions per month. This way I can give my children the best experience of being at home, and also my clients! Since I haven't taken many photos lately, here is some of my home aesthetic for you🄰🄰

It’s been almost a year since I second shot at this gorgeous wedding! I literally did so many sessions last year and didn’t post a single one. Every time I see my Instagram page all I can think of is ā€œburn it downā€ Parker McCollum style. I swear each time I attempt to rev up my Instagram it gives me the WORST anxiety. Like is this worth it? Not to mention only reaching like 10 people is comical. Anyways, are any photogs on threads? Something seems more personal about it, verses focusing on aesthetics. Tell me all about it pleaseee.

Love has found me many times during this lifetime.

Hopelessly besotted and

rocked to the core…

But the love I have for

my children is the only

love that split my soul

with each birth, and still

miraculously multiplies

with each year I am

their mother

I am currently going through my client closet and adding so many new pieces in! By the time we get to Alabama in the summer, I will not only be offering dresses for my mamas but I will also be offering a complimentary client closet for the whole family. This will relieve the stress and $$$ of preparing for your photos with me. By offering this to my clients it will allow me to have full control to perfectly curate the dreamiest sessions šŸ™‚

The military has felt like the bane of my existence. Always causing us to adapt, and start over. For us photographers, starting a business over every few years is exhausting. Despite these hardships, it has lead us to meet so many wonderful humans. Like this little bunch plus another little one we’ve yet to meet. Thinking about our sweet friends and day dreaming over our much needed mom’s trip this spring. Tis’ the season of healing and growth in life and motherhood. šŸ–¤

I will forever be a details kind of photographer…

This year is all about doing the things that fill my cup. I’ve had a lot of inquiries (while we’re still here in Texas) for things that just don’t align with what I want to document. Although I am fortunate to be able to turn these inquiries down, I want to capture the things that feed my soul. I have to remember work takes me away from my family, so it must be worth it in order for balance. Focusing on motherhood and couples is what will permanently have my heart.

I do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
I want to be full on my own
I want to be so complete
I could light a whole city
and then
I want to have you
cause the two of us combined
could set it on fire.

My heart has been pulled in many directions in the last few years. I’ve gotten off social media, fostered an authentic relationship with God, and have almost finished our first year of homeschooling. To be honest, all I wanted to do was to delete photography out of my life for good. I discerned for months whether this business was conducive to the health of not only my family but also my own mental health. I knew if I ever wanted to really start it back up (and not disappear again) I would have to learn how to balance work and family. I’ve prayed for God to lead me where I needed to be, and for the last few years it was with my family not on social media or burning myself out with session after session. Now that my littlest baby is needing me less and less, I realized I could try to fit photography back in my life…on my terms. We are still currently in Texas, slowly packing up to head to the gulf coast for the next three years. No deployments, no field, no wondering when my husband is leaving next. We needed this, I needed this. I took this photo in the throws of motherhood. I was trying to remind myself that I was in there somewhere. Now I’m 3 years older, maybe wiser too lol, but one thing I know is I will never stop thanking the lord for relentlessly calling me to him. I used to believe I was failing at so many things in my life, primarily at home. Then I would spiral with a crazy work schedule and non stop editing. When I felt my lowest I started reading the Bible and prioritizing my faith. Now I have a community I will dearly miss leaving Texas. My editing has changed, and so has my mind about leaving my older photos up…so alas I’m starting new. Cheers to 2024, it has and will be my best year in many.

I seriously can't get over how adorable the Mitchel family is. I'm so thankful to have clients who trust their most precious memories with me. I'm truly going to miss Texas when we have to part.

Good evening! I've had a few messages asking if I'm going to be offering minis for this Holiday season. In all honesty I do not have the time or hands to make a set up happen this year, but I will be doing no set up minis! I have 3 sessions available for November 19th. These will be located in Temple. Follow the link below to book. Once I've received your requested time, I will get a proposal sent over to you šŸ™‚

Well hi there friends! It's been too long, so I figured this is a good time as any to let y'all know that after two extensions and a long awaited list of potential places for us to move, the Army has decided our time in Texas will officially be over soon! Back to the east coast we go, and we couldn't be more excited. Of course it's the Army, so we will be sweating until those orders are in my husband's hands. IYKYK 😬🤣 The last few months I have only done a handful of sessions in order to pour myself into some mentorships, education, and adjusting to homeschooling my kiddos. I'm definitely ready to move onto bigger things, and I hope this move will do just that! I'm attempting to get caught up on sharing the beautiful people I've had in front of my camera lately! These lovelies came all the way from Leander to see me šŸ–¤

Happy Black Breastfeeding WeekšŸ–¤

How adorable is Azariah and her little girls dressed in their Nigerian gowns? šŸ‡³šŸ‡¬ This week will always hold a special place in my heart.
ā€œBy raising the awareness of disparities black mothers face, the barriers they encounter to breastfeed their babies, and becoming educated on the history of breastfeeding in Black communities, we are better able to support families through their parenting journey.ā€

This beautiful mama requested that I share this poem with her photosšŸ–¤

Breastfeeding, a form of resistance.

Fighting against the patriarchy that sexualizes and objectifies our breasts for consumption.

Fighting against prejudices that prevent us from lactating safely anywhere.

Fighting against the working hours that make incompatible breastfeeding and paid work.

Fighting against the capitalist system, created by men, in which only what you produce matters and not the human beings you form.

Fighting against the system that forces us to stop breastfeeding because "that child looks horrible so big on the breast"

Fighting against the meddling of the patriarchy in this that, like childbirth, only belongs to us.

Breastfeeding is resistance and you are source of life!
