Until further notice…

On Monday, Aug 17, I’ll have been induced to welcome our second daughter! However, unlike the typical maternity leave I hoped to take, I am fully stepping back from office hours for the time being. Our daughter has been diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect, so we don’t know exactly what awaits us after Monday in terms of her journey home. We expect a long NICU stay at minimum, with a more than likely transfer to cardiac ICU in Atlanta. Because of this, I am suspending office hours to focus on my family, my recovery, and bringing our little baby girl HOME as soon as possible. I will be largely unresponsive to emails until further notice.

For my booked clients:
I am dedicated to serving you as promised, and have caught up on all urgent matters up to date. I only have Fall weddings left to manage, so you can still expect I’ll make time for our 30-day Consultation to hammer out final logistics and shot lists. You may receive emails from me reminding you about invoices and completing your questionnaires. Note that these are auto-scheduled, and any replies you send to these may see a delayed response but I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m able.

For new inquiring brides and planners:
2026 is fully booked and I am not taking on any new projects or sessions for this year. If you have a spring 2027 date you’re looking for a photographer for, please note April is fully booked with limited remaining dates between March and June. Fall 2027 books are now open, so feel free to fill out the form on my website Contact page to receive package details from me! I am not currently holding discovery calls while on leave but will do my best to answer your questions via email as able, so you can continue on with your planning.

Thank you all for your patience, support and prayers during this time. Our family is so thankful to have such a supportive vendor community and incredible clients who have been so kind and understanding. We hope to come back stronger than ever this fall, with our beautiful baby girl in our arms here at home. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

🫀BABY UPDATE: We are so thankful for all the prayers surrounding our baby girl. It’s now August — the month we expect to meet her. That comes with a lot of excitement and anxiety for us.

So far, the Lord is faithfully sustaining our baby’s condition. She has not gotten “better” — we’re not even sure that’s in the physical realm of possibility without medical help (though we also know unexplained miracles can happen if He wills). But she hasn’t gotten worse either… praise the Lord!

NIPT tests all came back “low risk” for Trisomy 13, 18, and 21! Which means there’s a good chance issues are isolated to her heart not hiding elsewhere in her body.

All of this means a couple things:

1) We were able to discontinue our weekly trips to the Arthur Blank location in Atlanta, because cardiologists seem confident enough in letting us continue monitoring with my high risk pregnancy doctor 2x weekly as an adequate cadence.

2) Doctors seem more optimistic her condition will hold where we can safely keep her in the womb until week 38 or 39. Again, this is constantly being assessed by my ultrasounds with the MFM… but we’re hopeful. The longer she can stay, the better chance her body has to develop and withstand what comes next.

I will still need to be induced. Doctors are nervous to wait for her to come on her own because too many specialists need to be on site for her arrival and we will want her hooked up to heart monitors during labor to ensure she is enduring it safely.

We also still expect she will be transferred to CHOA for admission into cardiac ICU within the first hours or days of her life — timing fully dependent on the severity of her condition once they see how her lungs do. She will also get a catheter procedure immediately at birth to keep her heart stable enough to run additional tests and scans to monitor and decide next steps.

Keep praying. As my pastor often says: God does things when we pray that he doesn’t do when we don’t pray. Prayer is our most powerful weapon against her ailment, and we serve a God who is able. Pray also for us, as we face the unknown with cautious optimism and fight off exhaustion from the constant worry.

Our little family is overwhelmed by the love and support poured out after our last post. A long road lies ahead but we are enlisted heart warriors for our baby girl now. Thank you all for the prayers and kind messages. Keep praying. 🙏🏼🫀❤️‍🩹

Special thanks to Christy | Atlanta Wedding Photographer for taking these precious photos for us. Edited by me. Holding these close to help us get through.

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation…”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭42‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Things may be a little extra quiet around here as I enter into maternity leave earlier than expected. All galleries are delivered and sessions completed. I am not taking anymore bookings for 2026, to focus on my family at this time. To my remaining Fall 2026 couples, don’t fret over when I’ll return from leave. I’ve purposely set my Fall booking availability to allow a long recovery time, so no changes to foresee at the moment.

To anyone inquiring for 2027, please fill out my contact form on my website — you’ll receive next steps from me through an automated system and I’m holding limited office hours to review and respond to specific questions.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding — and to those who believe in the power of prayer, please pray for us and our heart baby as we navigate our journey with CHD. 🫀❤️‍🩹 🙏🏼

Sometimes the “go home happy” shots for me aren’t even planned or posed.

I just delivered Riley & Annabelle’s final gallery, so this is about the time in each booking’s lifetime where I find myself reminiscing the most on the images that *make* the gallery. For R & A’s gallery, this is just one of those.

Sweet Riley was on cloud 9 the minute he got to call Annabelle his wife for the first time. It changed his walk, lit his eyes—undeniable joy to his core. He began giving me some of the best unprompted work. He kissed her without warning, stared at her with heart melting adoration, and proudly helped carry and fluff her dress for every portrait. Basically, he treated Annabelle like the princess she truly was, just like her dad expected.

I’ll be sharing more from this day, but I figured sharing this image sets exactly the right tone for the whole day. Summed up in one precious, candid moment. This is the life they get to build together now. 🥹

When the bride keeps saying “Best day ever…” all day, how can anyone feel otherwise?

It’s so satisfying to capture that kind of high from a couple on their wedding day. Sure, weddings can come with stress, logistics, hiccups and fire drills — but when the couple is fully present and enjoying themselves, all of that fades away. And I get to document the true beauty of those moments.

Patrick and Erin are already jet set for their honeymoon, but I’m still living in Saturdays memories. So here’s a peek at what’s been on my computer screen the last 24-48 hours.

Florida, WHEN were you going to tell me about your Venice–Malibu love child of a city? 🌴✨

We knew almost nothing about Naples when Macie and Chase invited us down for their engagement session, so it really did feel like a blind date with a coastal town… and honestly, it was love at first sight.

Naples is the kind of place that makes the beach feel enjoyable even for me (a known sand-avoider who thinks going past knee-deep in the ocean means I’m destined to be a shark’s lunch meat).

I fully lived out a photographer’s dream this weekend, wandering streets lined with the prettiest tropical color palette. The kind that quietly convinced me that my closet could use a little more color.

And getting to experience it with Chase & Macie made it even better. They were the kindest hosts, sharing their favorite spots, giving us local insight, and being so gracious when we had to shift timing to dodge the one rainy forecast of the weekend.

That little pivot gave us an empty 5th Ave South (which feels rare) and the softest, dreamiest morning light.

Honestly, between this place and these two, my job felt almost too easy. Just documenting a few moments of their blissfully engaged season in the place they get to call home.

I’ll probably be planning my next trip back in my head as I finish editing this engagement session. So help me decide. Or you were packing for Naples—are you leaning bold florals or flowy pale linens? Both? Ok both.

I don’t know which emotion weighs heavier when I photograph sessions at a new location:

🪻the nerves of hoping we get amazing light AND backdrops…

Or…

🪻the excitement for the opportunity to push myself creatively and play on a new “playground” with my couples.

is an iconic venue for romantic portraits here in Georgia, so only a new Atlanta transplant like me would be feeling those emotions driving up to it. It took no time at all for excitement to win out, as we laid eyes on the sprawling Italian villa-style garden estate. (Not to mention the super accommodating and friendly staff who made us feel welcome upon arrival!)

Just when I thought the venue alone would work in my favor, Juliana and Michael walked through each scene like they naturally belonged. Could my job as a Georgia wedding photographer get any easier?

In less than 12 hours I already have a batch of sneak peeks I can’t hold back. But goodness gracious… it was SO HARD to choose favorites. I guess you’ll be seeing more of these two lovers soon 😉

I’m an Atlanta wedding photographer who embraces a film-inspired style of photography to make couples’ vows visible in every image.
