Now that she’s posted, I can officially announce that we got our girl MARRIED on Saturday! 🤍💍✨ Everything was absolutely perfect, and y’all… her dress was BEAUTIFUL! 😍👰‍♀️

I’m so incredibly thankful that I got to capture her big day and be a part of such a special moment in their lives. 🥹🤍 It was truly a beautiful day celebrating these two and creating memories they’ll have forever!

My favorite thing about photography is that I get to meet all sorts of new people and families. 🤍 This sweet family is from North Carolina and happened to be here on vacation, and I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to capture these memories for them! 📸✨

✨ MODEL CALL — SENIOR SUNRISE SESSION ✨

I’m looking for a female high school senior who is comfortable in front of the camera and would LOVE to model for a sunrise senior session! 🌅📸

This session will be COMPLETELY FREE in exchange for permission for me to use the images on my photography page/portfolio for advertising.

📍 Location: A location of my choice
🌅 Time: Sunrise probably around 6:40am
💰 Cost: FREE
🎓 Who: Female high school senior
📸 What you get: A full senior session + edited images to keep!

I already have a specific inspiration in mind for this shoot, so you’ll need to be comfortable with the overall vision, outfits/posing, and style of the inspiration! 🤍 I’ll send the inspo to anyone interested before booking so you can make sure it’s something you’d be comfortable doing.

I’m looking for someone who is outgoing, comfortable posing, and willing to have fun and let me get creative! ✨

If you’re interested (or know a senior who would be perfect), comment below or send me a message! Please include the senior’s graduation year and a recent photo.

Two in one morning… we’re on a ROLL! 🩵🩷✨

Got to capture not one, but TWO gender reveals this morning! One sweet family finding out they’re adding another baby boy, and another finding out they’re adding another baby girl. 🥹

Feeling so lucky that I get to capture these little moments that become lifelong memories. 🤍

little did I know, this sunrise session was going to be extra special!

Reagan had told me she didn’t know the gender yet, but her friend was actually the gender keeper! 🥹 She knew the secret while Reagan had no idea what baby was going to be.

So as we captured this beautiful sunrise session, we were also capturing a gender reveal! 🥹

And the sweetest surprise…! 🩷🩵🍼

There’s something so special about getting to capture moments that parents will look back on forever, but getting to capture a surprise like this makes it even sweeter. ✨

We saw the sweetest little surprise during my sunrise session Sunday morning. 🐢🌅🤍

A local told us that this little sea turtle may have been left behind when a nest was moved or relocated. She said it looked like it had made it to the water, but somehow got washed back up onto the shore.

She immediately called someone for help, and thankfully, this little baby was safely relocated back into the ocean. 🌊🐢

What a beautiful reminder that God’s creation is everywhere. Sometimes He just shows up in the smallest, most unexpected moments. 🤍

Getting to witness something this precious during a sunrise session is something I’ll never forget. What a beautiful creation of God. 🌅✨

(P.s we stayed our distance and this was a zoomed in photo🤍)
