Senior Sunday 🌻

Meet Alannah, one of my Senior Chapter girls.

For one of her sessions, we headed to Collins Produce and Flower Farm in Wilson, NC and honestly…the sunflowers were the perfect match for her.

I love that her senior year gets to be documented in little peices with each session showing a different side of who she is.

And this one? Soft and beautiful with a side of sunflowers. 🌻

🍂Fall senior sessions are now booking. Let’s make some pretty pictures before this season flies by.

It’s usually the photographer encouraging clients to get their images printed and off the digital cloud… but today, the tables turned.

I was completely surprised with the sweetest gift from a client, and it’s something I will treasure forever.
These images represent the playfulness, the love, and this incredible season our family is in. They capture a milestone my husband and I will always hold close watching our daughter graduate from high school and begin her next chapter in college.

As a photographer, there is nothing that brings more joy to my heart than seeing photographs become something tangible that families can hold onto for generations.

And every time I start to question why I do what I do, God has a way of sending little reminders like this to tell me to keep going.

I’m forever grateful for the clients He has placed in my life. This work has never been just about pressing a button and delivering a gallery. It’s about preserving memories, building relationships, and being trusted with some of life’s most meaningful moments.

So thank you. Your kindness means more than you know. 🖤💛

My photography story actually started on the sidelines. 🏀 🏈

I married into football without really understanding just how much it would become a part of our everyday life. Then I learned quickly football isn’t just Friday nights. It’s the preparation, the practices, the early mornings, and the work that happens long before the lights come on.

When my daughter started playing sports, I wanted to capture those moments. I started in the stands, but eventually found myself moving to the sidelines.

Now, on fall Friday nights, you’ll usually find me right beside Coach Bae with my camera in hand, capturing the players, the energy, and the moments that make this game special.

The tackles. The celebrations. The traditions. The memories.

Football has a way of creating its own kind of memories… and its own kind of Game Day Behavior. 🏈

So tell me🤔what is your family’s Game Day Behavior? The lucky shirt? The pregame meal? The traditions you never skip?

As a mom, I have always despised this word🤦🏾‍♀️😂.

Bruh.

Who is Bruh?! And why is he involved in every conversation my kid has?

Annoyed? Bruh. Surprised? Bruh. Speechless? Bruh.

And now…I may have found a way to make “Bruh” something I can actually get behind.👀🏈

Stay tuned….

So, you are interested in senior photos, but what happens next? Let’s talk about what “booking” really means.

Booking does not mean;
❌ You have every outfit picked out
❌ You know the perfect location
❌ You have every detail planned
❌ You’re ready to walk in and take photos tomorrow.

Booking means:
✅ Starting with a conversation
✅ Saving a spot on the calendar
✅ Creating a plan that feels right for your senior
✅ Having someone guide you through the process

This isn’t a “show up, smile, and snap a few pictures” experience. The best senior photos happen when there’s a little planning behind them.

So, if you are looking for someone to show up with a camera, I may not be the best fit. But, if you want someone who takes the time to create an experience around your senior, I’d love to chat. Click the link in bio to schedule a call!

Coach’s wives... football moms... we all know someone. 👀

Consider this your preseason warning.

August is almost here. The Friday night lights are coming back, the bleacher coaches are warming up, and the commentary has already started. 🙄

🎬 Preparing for my Netflix documentary: Confessions of a Coach’s Wife. The Bleacher Coaches Have Entered the Chat.

The sidelines are where the real “entertainment” begins. Tell me, what’s the funniest thing you’ve heard?

Summer is the perfect time to think about senior portraits…and I promise I’m not just saying it because I’m a photographer

Right now, your calendar probably feels wide open. Fast forward a couple of months and it’ll be football games, homecoming, college apps, and somehow… graduation. 🧑‍🎓

I just shared a new blog breaking down exactly when to book senior portraits and why waiting until spring can make things a little more stressful than they need to be.

If you are the parent to a class of 2027 senior, grab your coffee, take a few minutes, and give it a read.

I hope it helps you plan ahead and enjoy senior year a little more.

Okay friends… I love outdoor sessions. I really do. Give me a sunset and a pretty location and I’m happy.

But July + August? We might need to have a little studio moment. 😂

Because nobody wants to spend their session trying not to sweat through their cute outfit.

The studio gives us a chance to slow down, have fun, and create something a little different. And I’m kind of loving it. 🤍

Maybe summer is the perfect excuse to try something a little different… would you do a studio session? 🤍

Hello July ☀️ officially entering beach + lake portrait season and I am sooo ready for it !

This one is for the maternity girlies looking for a not-so-typical maternity session. If you wanna beat the heat, we can keep things soft + cozy in the studio… or chase that dreamy golden hour light out by the water. Either way, I would love to start planning with you!

And since you have read this far, tag (or share) an expecting momma below 👇🏽 who is looking for a beach session.
