Busy season is going to start slowing down, so I wanted to share a few of my favorites from this year 💜

Yesterday was a busy day for our household. We had Hanna’s soccer, Jax’s football, and the cutest Photo Booth event 💜💜

It’s never just the details. 🤍🥹

Its all of it.. carefully chosen flowers, the handwritten vows, the rings that will be worn for a lifetime, the little touches that tell a story, and all the tiny pieces of a day that goes by far too quickly.

As someone who has stood on both sides of the camera, I can tell you that wedding details hold so much more than pretty things. They hold memories. They hold pieces of someone’s love story. They hold the months of dreaming, planning, hoping, and imagining what this day would feel like.

I still can’t get over the brides touches on this wedding. She thought of absolutely everything. I have never seen such a detailed wedding. It was absolutely beautiful.

One day, the flowers will be gone, the cake will be eaten, and the dress will be tucked away… but the photographs will still be there. Reminding you of the little things you might have forgotten, and the big feelings you never want to lose.

So yes, I will absolutely photograph your shoes, your rings, your invitations, your flowers, and every tiny detail you spent so much time choosing.

Because someday, those little things might just bring you right back to the day your whole world changed. 🤍💍

And honestly? That’s the magic of wedding photography. ✨

I made this guy come take pictures with me… 😂📸

Because sometimes you don’t need a special occasion, a perfectly planned outfit, or three months of preparation.

Sometimes you just need to say, “Come here. We’re taking pictures.” 😏

And honestly? I’m HERE for the last-minute photo sessions. 🍂🤎

So if you’ve been thinking, “We really need some pictures…” — consider this your sign. 😂

I have a few last-minute openings for anyone who wants to squeeze in some photos before fall disappears. 🍁📸

Come be spontaneous with me. I promise I’ll make it fun. 🫶🏼

There’s something unmatched about high school dance nights—the weeks of planning outfits, the chaotic group chats, the pre-dance photos with everyone awkwardly trying to pin on boutonnieres, and the fast-food runs after the lights turn on.
Whether you hit the dance floor for every single song or spent half the night standing on the edge catching up with friends, these are the moments that stick. Years from now, you might forget the specific songs on the playlist, but you’ll always remember the laughter, the aching feet from bad shoes, and the pure energy of having your whole school under one roof for one night.
Cherish every laugh, every dance, and every memory—they really do become the good old days.
Magical dances 🪄
Sparkly dresses 👗
Dancing all night 💃🏻

A built-in best friend. A built-in cheer squad. A little hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on, and someone who will always know where home is. 🤎

There’s something pretty magical about being a mother. You spend so much time raising little people, only to realize they’re also the ones making your world a little bigger.

A built-in clan. A forever kind of love. And a lifetime of growing up together. 🍂

October 1st has officially arrived. 🎃🖤

Cue the creepy woods, pumpkin heads, moody love stories and an absolutely unnecessary amount of black clothing. 😂🍂

The leaves are changing, the spooky season is officially on, and I’m here for ALL of it. 👻🖤

Happy October! 🎃

✨ So… how much does photography actually cost? 📸

Honestly? It depends. And there’s a reason you’ll see photographers charging $100, $300, $500, $1,000+ and everywhere in between.

Because you’re not just paying for someone to show up with a camera. 🤍

You’re paying for the years of learning how to use that camera.
The equipment, lenses, insurance & software.
The time spent planning your session.
The posing, lighting & location knowledge.
The hours spent culling and carefully editing your images.
The experience of knowing what to do when your toddler won’t cooperate. 😂
And most importantly… you’re paying for someone to preserve a moment you can’t get back.

A photography session might only take an hour or two.

But the work behind those photographs? So much more.

And there’s nothing wrong with having a budget. There’s a photographer for different budgets, styles and needs. ❤️

Just remember when comparing prices:

You’re not only comparing the number of photos you receive.
You’re comparing the experience, the artistry, the service and the person creating them.

Because someday, those photographs won’t just be “pictures.”

They’ll be your people. Your memories. Your story. 🥹🤍
