🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! ❤️🤍💙

From tiny newborn toes to graduating seniors, weddings, family hugs, and everything in between—it's an honor to capture the moments that tell your story.

Today we celebrate 250 years of freedom, resilience, and the memories that connect generations.

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and unforgettable Fourth of July. Enjoy the fireworks, make the memories, and don't forget to snap a few photos along the way! 📸✨

Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

My morning was full of tiny snuggles, sweet little smooches, and all the newborn goodness. 🥹🤍

Unless I have a parent's full permission, you'll rarely see me share a baby's face. Protecting my clients' little ones will always come before social media.

But just know... I'm here and ready to capture your newest bundle of joy. Whether you'd like a Fresh 48 session at the hospital or a cozy in-home newborn session, I'd be honored to tell the beginning of your family's story.

And if I'm being honest... it does wonders for my baby fever. 😉🍼

Commercial photography is so much more than taking photos—it's telling the story of your business.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend time with the incredible team at HOLT, capturing the people, equipment, and day-to-day moments that make their company what it is.

These are the kinds of images that build trust, strengthen your brand, and give your website, social media, and marketing materials a cohesive, professional look.

A HUGE thank you to Jill Watson, the new President of the Women's Forum, for making the connection with HOLT and their amazing crew. Opportunities like these mean the world to a small business like mine, and I'm incredibly grateful.

Whether you're in construction, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, or another local business, your customers want to see the people behind the name. Authentic content consistently outperforms stock photography because it showcases what makes your business unique.

If your website, social media, or marketing materials could use a fresh library of professional content, I'd love to help. Let's create images that work just as hard as you do.

Dance portraits are always so much fun—especially when the sweetest girls show up in the prettiest skirts and outfits!

Wishing all of you the best of luck this season. Go shine on that stage! ✨

Oh... not me over here crying while editing the Fresh 48 photos for someone I used to babysit... and now she's welcoming her first baby. 🥹

Life is so full circle, and I'm incredibly grateful we've stayed in touch over the years.

If you notice I mostly share tiny hands, feet, ears, and all those little details from Fresh 48 sessions, it's because I always respect new parents' wishes when they're not ready to share their baby's face just yet.

Besides... it's those tiny little details that seem to change the fastest, and somehow they're the ones that melt your heart the most. 🤍

Popping on to say a **HUGE THANK YOU** to every single one of you who has been recommending my photography to your family and friends.

You truly have no idea how much your support means to me right now. Life has been wonderfully chaotic, and I feel like I'm being pulled in a million different directions every single day. Thanks to all of your referrals, I've been staying pretty consistently booked, and I honestly couldn't be more grateful. Every tag, recommendation, and kind word has helped keep my little business moving during one of the busiest—and craziest—seasons of my life.

I also wanted to share this image to give a special shout-out to **Terry Matlock Dance Studio**.

After an incredible **58 years** of building and leading the studio, Terry has officially passed the reins to Amanda. What an amazing legacy you've created, Terry. Congratulations on your *semi-retirement*—although I think we all know you'll still be highly involved!

And Amanda... congratulations! You're already doing an amazing job, and I have no doubt you'll continue the studio's incredible tradition while making it your own. Wishing you both nothing but the very best. ❤️

Mental Health Awareness ❤️

If you suffer from depression in any form, I hope these occasional posts encourage you to pause and find joy in the smallest of moments.

This isn't some spectacular photograph. It won't win any awards. But it captures one of those tiny moments I'm desperately trying to hold onto while fighting my way through one of the darkest seasons of my life.

Depression, for me, feels like being trapped in a deep hole that's slowly filling with water while a ball and chain is locked around my ankle. Every day is work. Some days I make progress. Other days I simply survive. Both count.

If you're struggling, my only advice is this: stop for a moment. Look around. Step into someone else's shoes for a minute. Listen to the birds. Feel the sunshine. Let the laundry pile up if that's what you need. Sit with a cup of coffee and breathe. Whatever brings you even the smallest spark of peace... let yourself have it. Those little moments matter more than you know.

And to my sweet niece...
One day, if you ever scroll back through my social media, I hope you know just how much I needed you. Those few days each week with you have been medicine for my soul.

Depression has stolen so many memories from me that I can barely remember my own children when they were little. So now, I'm trying with everything I have to soak up every giggle, every tiny hand, every cuddle, every ordinary moment with these babies.

Sometimes healing doesn't look like giant leaps.
Sometimes healing looks like stopping long enough to appreciate a little girl picking flowers, the sound of laughter, or a simple photograph that reminds you life is still quietly happening around you.

Keep looking for the small things. They might just help carry you until you can find the big ones again. ❤️

Sharing a photo my boy took. He messed around with my camera a while ago and is not taking more interest in it.

Killian never ceases to amaze me. He’s quite amazing at everything he puts his mind to. Adding this skill will ensure he has a leg up later in life.

He’s even floated the idea of directing a mini film out of Aitken. - not a bad idea! Everything is there already.

Creating life is the closest thing to magic I've ever witnessed.

Golden light, gentle water, and a mama soaking in these final moments before meeting her baby.

Isn't pregnancy amazing? 🤍
