As this week winds down, I’m sitting here going through photos, and y’all… my heart is heavy, but also so full.

We have something so special in this community. I hope we never get so busy or distracted by divisive keyboard slackers that we forget to see it.

This week, I got to stand behind my camera at some events that meant a whole lot. And before I say anything else, I want to say this: being asked to be there means something BIG to me. When that call comes, and someone trusts me to document people and moments that matter to them… I don’t take that lightly.

I’m not great at a lot of things 😜, but documenting amazing people? That is absolutely my thing. And getting to do that right here, with people I know and love, is an honor that still gets to me.

I may be a little biased, but photos matter.

Thinking about September 11, twenty-five years later… the photos, y’all. The faces of people who should’ve had more time. The towers. The heartbreak. And the people who stepped into the unimaginable to help somebody else.

There are photographs from that day we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives. Photographers kept documenting in the middle of all that fear and heartbreak, and because they did, we have something to look back on. Something to help us remember the people, and help us explain to a generation who wasn’t here why we still pause.

That has stayed with me this week.

I’ve photographed our 9/11 Remembrance walk over the bridge since it began. This was year SIX, and every year, I find a little more to love about it. Then I was asked to photograph our local police and fire departments as they honored the lives lost on September 11. From there, it was over to Lewisville High School, running into friends I’ve made through my work, through Rotary, and through just getting out there and being part of this town.

There’s something about looking through your camera and realizing how many of those faces have become part of your own life.

This year, I found myself really paying attention to the faces. And then stepping back to take in the crowds. All those people who made time to be there. To remember. To stand alongside our first responders and let them know that what happened still matters. That the people we lost still matter.

You can’t make people care. But goodness, when they do… you can see it. And I hope, with everything in me, that you can feel it in these photos.

I wish I had a bigger word than “incredible” for what I saw this week. Maybe I’ll find it as I keep going through these images. Right now, I’m just grateful.

Grateful for this city. For the people in it. For every person who showed up. And for the trust that lets me be there, camera in hand, doing the thing I know how to do.

Y’all give me so much worth remembering.

And y’all, if you get a chance, go by Central and spend a little time with the 9/11 memorial out front. Read the names. Read the prayers. Take a moment with that piece of steel that once stood as part of the South Tower. Every one of those names belonged to somebody who was loved, somebody who was supposed to come home.

It’s worth slowing down for. Worth taking your kids and telling them why we remember. And worth a few quiet minutes to hold those families in your heart.

“Never forget” is something we have to keep making time for. ❤️

Twenty-five years later, I can still remember where I was. I know so many of y’all can, too. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 changed our country and millions of lives forever. That day, 2,977 innocent people were murdered. Among them, 343 FDNY firefighters answered their final call, and 72 law enforcement officers lost their lives, including 37 Port Authority officers and 23 NYPD officers. We also remember Sirius, the Port Authority police K-9 who never made it home.

Every one of those 2,977 people had a name. A family. A life they should have gotten to finish.

And the loss didn’t end there. We honor those who have since died from illnesses connected to their service and exposure, and the countless families, first responders, and survivors who still carry the weight of that day.

Today, our own firefighters and police officers, alongside first responders across this country, are holding the line for them. Carrying on their legacy of service. Answering the call. Taking care of their communities, knowing what that responsibility can ask of them. To our guys and gals here in Lewisville: we see you, we love you, and we don’t take your service for granted.

One of the most meaningful parts of being a photographer is getting to witness how people show up for one another. Through the happiest days, the hardest moments, and mornings like this one, when we pause together to remember. I may be looking through a camera, but I’m feeling it right along with everyone else.

The hurt. The anger. The gratitude for those who ran toward danger. Even after 25 years, it’s all still there.

Today, I had the privilege of photographing our Lewisville Fire and Police Departments’ remembrance ceremony before heading straight to my alma mater, Lewisville High School, for theirs. Two beautiful ceremonies, one community taking the time to honor lives we will never forget.

Being back at LHS made this Farmer’s heart especially proud. The choir, the guard, ROTC, and student council helped create such a thoughtful tribute. These students weren’t even born when September 11 happened, but the care and respect they brought to remembering it meant something.

They don’t have their own memories of that morning. Today, they helped carry ours.

And y’all, if these are the young people who will be leading us, I have a whole lot of hope for our future. 🤍

Sharing a few previews from both ceremonies. Thank you for trusting me to document something that means so much.

Today, we remembered. We honored. And we stood together as a community. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝.

Aubrey Cox is one of Lewisville’s public safety dispatchers, and she is currently battling breast cancer.

For years, Aubrey has been the voice on the other end of the radio when our firefighters and police officers needed her. She has also been there for many of us personally when things got tough.

Now it is our turn to be there for her.

A fundraiser has been set up to help Aubrey with the financial burden that comes with cancer treatment, with all proceeds going directly to her.

If you are able, please consider ordering a shirt or sharing this post to help us get the word out.

She has spent plenty of nights being our lifeline. It is time for us to be hers.

Pre-orders close Friday, September 18.

This beauty is dipping her toes into the world of professional modeling, and we got to help her get started! The agency requested clean, fresh-faced photos for her comp card submissions, and she understood the assignment. 🙌

A little smile, a little serious, and a whole new adventure ahead. Help us cheer her on! 🤍

A little dramatic lighting + a VERY dramatic longhorn who insists on being in my photos… and may or may not have gotten a little “horn happy” with our bride. Yeah, I said it. 😝😂

Add this gorgeous couple and that big Texas sky at Lucky Spur Ranch - Retreat, and y’all… I think even Taylor Sheridan might be a little jealous. 🤠📸

But behind all this Texas-sized drama is the sweetest celebration. Almost two years after their engagement photos, I got to have these two back in front of my camera as husband and wife! A special thank-you to the bride’s sweet aunt for putting this reception together and making sure Blackall Photography was there to document it. What a beautiful gift to give them. 🤍

So grateful for this sweet couple, an aunt who made it all happen, and our friends at Lucky Spur Ranch who make my job feel easy.

The longhorn, however, could use a little lesson in boundaries. 😉
