The Tyler Family | Sneak Peek

Ten years of photographing The Tyler Family, and I look forward to every session with so much excitement! 🎉 Michelle always keeps things fun by switching up the seasons and locations, so we get to create something a little different each year. I love seeing how much Mabel and Emmett have grown since our last session (and Mabel is getting dangerously close to being taller than me! 😂). They always bring the cuteness and sweetness, and these four make my job so much fun.

One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is the love this family shares. Michelle and Travis are always behind me, making the kids laugh, while Mabel and Emmett keep each other giggling, too. I especially love sneaking in a few photos of just Michelle and Travis because the way they look at each other says so much. 🫶🏼

Documenting their family through so many seasons of life has been such an honor, and I hope to keep doing it for many more years to come! 📷

Ryleigh | Senior 2027 | Sneak Peek

It was such an honor to photograph Ryleigh for her Senior Session! 🎓 I was so excited to work with her and capture this special season of her life. 🎉

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Ryleigh since she was about ten years old, and it’s been such a joy to watch her grow up over the years! She’s always been such a sweet, kind, and funny girl, and she’s grown into an absolutely beautiful young woman, inside and out. 🫶🏼 She’s so bright and talented, and I have no doubt she has a wonderful future ahead of her. I can’t wait to see where life takes her next!

I know the seasons are changing when the sunbeams start making their way back into the house. ☀️

And if you ask Winston, this is the best time of year. 🫶🏼 He’s always been a fan of a good sunbeam — especially when it comes with air conditioning. 😉

I can’t believe we’re already into the second week of September! How is that possible?

School is back in session, we’re still enjoying the little bit of summer we have left, and now we’re gearing up for football season and all the fall activities that will start filling our weekends. 🍁

So don’t forget to start planning your Fall Family Session, too! 📷 As of right now, I only have ONE Saturday spot left in October, so if you’re wanting to get on the books, let me know as soon as possible!

I would love to work with you and your family this fall and create some beautiful memories that you’ll enjoy on your walls for years to come. 🫶🏼

A well-tailored suit and a great smile never go out of style. 👊🏼

Today marks seventeen years as Mr. and Mrs. Layne! ♥️

Seventeen years of marriage, countless trips, thousands of conversations, a whole lot of laughter, and enough shared experiences that I can say just a couple of words and Justan knows exactly what I’m talking about. It could be about a place, a trip, something that happened years ago, or something completely random—and he just knows. Sometimes it’s not even words. Just a look across the room and I know we’re thinking the exact same thing. 😆 After seventeen years, I guess you really do get to know each other that well.

I’m so grateful for the man I get to call my husband. Justan is one of the hardest-working people I know, and so much of what he does for our family happens behind the scenes. He carries a lot, takes care of a lot, and somehow keeps showing up for all of it. I never want those things to go unnoticed.

I also deeply appreciate the way he leads our family spiritually and the quiet, steady example he sets. It’s one of the many things I respect and admire about him. 🫶🏼

We’ve had plenty of life happen in these seventeen years, and I love that through every curveball, we’ve always been a team. From day one, it’s been the two of us facing life together. With every year that passes, I think we just get better and better at being the team we’ve always been. 👏🏼

I’m thankful for our adventures, our memories, our sweet Winston, our life together, and all the ordinary little moments in between that have become some of my favorite ones. But most of all, I’m thankful that my best friend is the person I get to do all of it with.

I say it every year, but it’s because I mean it: Mr. Layne, you are my favorite. ♥️

Happy Seventeenth Anniversary, Justan! 🤟🏼 Here’s to many more great memories, adventures, laughs, and years of being us. 🥂I love you!

The retail stores may be telling us otherwise, but there’s still plenty of summer left—and I’m going to soak up every last bit of it. ☀️

Bring on the sunny days, warm nights, pool days, and all the little things that make this season so good. I’m not ready to let summer go just yet! 💛

Kylie | Senior 2027 | Sneak Peek

Over 100° outside, moving around the park and changing locations, and that sweet smile—Kylie absolutely rocked her Senior Session! 🎓 Her adorable personality and natural beauty made it so much fun to capture this exciting season of her life. 🫶🏼

She’s getting ready to start her senior year and has some pretty exciting things ahead, including plans to pursue a career in teaching. ✏️ I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes her!

Kylie, I hope your senior year is unforgettable! Soak in all the memories, enjoy every minute, and have so much fun along the way. Graduation will be here before you know it! 🎉

Some of my favorite photographs are the ones where you can not only feel the joy and love, but hear it as well! 🫶🏼 Emmett and Mabel are always so fun to photograph, and their sessions are filled with so much laughter and happiness.

I hope these bring a smile to your face as big as the one they put on mine! 😁

While the kids take a snack break, I always steal Mom & Dad for a few quiet minutes. 🫶🏼 Those little moments become some of my favorite images from the session, and I think one day they’ll be their kids’ favorites, too. 🥹
