I had a vision to show the beauty of Jesus through my photography. As I planned this session, I spent time reading testimonies and praying over them, reflecting on the many ways God moves through our lives and stories.

Because of that, I’m excited to officially offer Faith-Based Sessions through Behind The Lens Photography. 🤍

For the month of July, I’ll be hosting two days of faith-based mini sessions. These will be 15-minute sessions and offered on a pay-what-you-can basis because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to celebrate and share their faith.

A $25 non-refundable deposit will still be required to reserve your spot. This helps ensure that everyone who wants a session has a fair opportunity to book.

I’ll be announcing dates soon, so be sure to turn on post notifications and keep an eye out—spots will be limited and will likely fill quickly.

“Let your light shine before others.” ✨🤍

📸 STRANGER SESSIONS 📸

I need your help with this one.

I’m looking for adventurous people in Southern Illinois and the St. Louis area to participate in my Stranger Sessions project—a photoshoot where two complete strangers meet for the first time in front of the camera.

No modeling experience needed.
No pressure.
Just a fun, unique experience and some amazing photos.

👀 Now here’s the fun part…

TAG someone below who would 100% do this.

The friend who’s always down for an adventure.
The friend who’s constantly saying “why not?”
The friend who needs to get out of their comfort zone.

Or tag yourself if you’re interested!

Let’s see who gets nominated the most. 😂👇

This is something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time, and I’m so excited to finally bring it to life. Stranger Sessions are all about capturing genuine connection, chemistry, personality, and the unexpected magic between two people meeting for the very first time. 🤍

This is a fun, creative experience designed to feel natural, exciting, and unforgettable.

Please keep in mind:
• Filling out an application does NOT guarantee selection
• Selected participants will be contacted directly
• Sessions are $50 per person if accepted

Currently looking for participants in the Southern Illinois & St. Louis area.

I seriously cannot wait to see where this goes.
