Shining Opal Photography

Possibly my favorite photo I’ve ever taken from possibly my favorite wedding I’ve ever helped shoot alongside my definite favorite person to shoot with.

There’s something about working alongside Holly that brings out the best in me.

If you want a photography team that has true chemistry, a team that constantly sharpens each other, a team that is going to document your best day in the truest fashion, hire ✨

Of all the milestones and moments I get invited into, it’s this one—the witnessing of new life—that means the most to me 💕

Over the past year I’ve wrestled with where my heart for this business lies. I’ve wondered at what place it has in this season of life for us, or if it should have a place at all (a public place, that is). And my heart has settled on: motherhood.

I think from here on out there will be a shift in the content I share here (if/when I do share content which we all know is not more forte lol). That is my intention, anyways. While I will still offer a variety of sessions, I have realized that the photos and moments and occasions that interest me most all center around motherhood. Maternity, newborn, day-to-day living, hopefully someday birth. So that’s what I’ll be sharing, and that’s what I’ll be seeking. We’ll see what the Lord does with that 🤍

The newest Mr. and Mrs. Cox 🤍

Even with a fast & furious hail storm right after the ceremony, their day was beautiful and so full of emotion and love and pizza and smiles 🥰

Thinking about the “just for fun” photoshoot we did two years ago, and how excited I am to capture their wedding next month 🤩

Only comfortable with self portraits if my face is not in them 🙃

Also I took this picture Tuesday and I swear my belly has doubled in size since then and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet 👀
