Spent the morning with one of my favorite families, and it was the perfect way to start the day! They make every session so easy, and those sweet babies couldn't be any cuter. 🤍 Thank you all again for such a wonderful morning! I always love getting to capture these special memories for your family.

I started this “business”…and by business, I absolutely mean a hobby with a camera and a lot of confidence I probably didn’t deserve 😂

It was during COVID when we were all bored out of our minds and just trying to survive off sourdough bread and TikTok. I borrowed my mom’s old camera that hadn’t seen the light of day in years and started taking pictures of my friends because…what else were we doing? I remember posting those photos SO confidently, like I had just discovered a hidden talent. Meanwhile, the edits were questionable at best, the focus was…optional, and the poses? Let’s just say we’ve all grown 🤣

And some of y’all really hyped me up like I was out here doing something incredible. Thank you for the support but also, respectfully, you could’ve been a little more honest 😂

Over the years, this little “hobby” turned into something so much more. There have been seasons where my books were completely full, and seasons where life said “hey, let’s pile it on” starting my teaching career, planning a wedding, getting my master’s degree, having a baby, coaching a competitive cheer team…you know, just a few small things. During those times, I had to step back and be intentional about what I could take on, and photography took a slower seat, but it never left.

Because the truth is, I love this. I really do.
Sometimes I go back and look at photos from years ago, not just to laugh (because I do…a lot), but to remind myself how far I’ve come. And more than that, I get emotional thinking about how many of you have trusted me with your lives in the most meaningful ways.

I’ve gotten to capture your families as they’ve grown and changed, first birthdays, senior years, wedding days, maternity sessions, fresh 48s, and even those incredibly hard moments, like final pictures with beloved pets. I’ve watched traditions form right in front of me, with families coming back year after year for holiday photos. That kind of trust is something I don’t take lightly, and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever have the right words to fully express how much it means to me.

What started as something to pass the time has turned into something that fills my heart in ways I never expected.

So here’s to growth, to learning, to giving myself grace, and to thanking God every single day that my photos don’t look like they did in the beginning 🤣

6 years of MBM… and we’re just getting started 🤍

No because I seriously could NOT stop talking about this dress!!! 🤍 The bride, the venue, the dress, every little detail was perfection. These definitely deserved their own moment on my feed!

Had the absolute best time with the sweetest couple today! Hillary and Will, thank y’all so much for trusting me with your big day. I couldn’t have asked for better weather, a more beautiful venue, or a sweeter couple. Wishing you both a lifetime full of love and happiness! Cheers to the Popes 🤍
