when i’m taking pictures of your loved ones, i sometimes can’t help but think about how one day someone is going to cling to and weep over one of these images. you and your loved ones will cherish it forever. it doesn’t matter if it’s an old, faded, and torn print from walgreens you threw in a scrapbook or keepsake box. i really don’t mean to be morbid. you see, this is the second father’s day since i’ve lost my dad. i’m so blessed that my parents took tons of pictures back in the day. from before i was born up until i was a teenager and started taking my own. . . the night my father passed away, we made the hour and a half drive back to my moms in a state of shock. there were a million things to do. but all i could focus on was getting my hands on those albums. my brother and i both obsessed over each new picture we discovered or memory we forgot about through the years. what should have taken maybe 30 minutes gathering some pictures for his funeral, took hours. my husband had to drag me home at 2 in the morning so we could get some sleep. reliving those memories and hearing new ones from my mom is what brought me the most comfort in those first hardest days when i refused to let go. . . it took a long time for me to stop crying at every single father daughter dance. losing him only heightened my passion for photography. i realized quickly that i have this talent and love for capturing in between moments. i am able to freeze and gift you these precious moments forever. so now while i pay extra attention to brides and their fathers on wedding days, i also give that extra attention to you.. moms and brothers and maw and pops. even newborn or family sessions. one day someone’s gonna laugh about how your little one threw the biggest fit over nothing and cried the whole time. or how little emma had the goofiest smile from ages 3-6. the small things we sweat now are going to be some of our most cherished memories. i just hope you let someone capture it from time to time. for those who heart aches this weekend, i feel you. and if you’re lucky enough to spend the day with your dad, hug him extra tight ♥️ what's the difference between a hippo and a zippo? . . one's heavy and the other is a little lighter. . . give me your best dad jokes 🙃 i still have brides reaching out for 2019 weddings like crazy. just booked another one yesterday ✨ if you still haven’t booked your photographer, reach out! i’m offering a discount for all remaining 2019 weddings. (discount does not apply to clients who have already booked.) sometimes, home has a heartbeat. dreaming back to cooler weather + this romantic first dance by the fireplace ✨ who else just wanted to sleep in today? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ my baby had other plans for me at five thirty this morning. she’s lucky she’s so cute. aldyn talor’s newborn session was scheduled for today, but louisiana’s rainy day had other plans, turning into crazy flash flooding and tornadoes. hoping everyone stayed safe today and the waters recede quickly 🤞🏻 collin james | six days old motherhood looks good on you, hannah. ✨ louisiana summer weddings are so damn hot, but we were just happy that the weatherman was wrong about the predicted all day downpour. it was a perfect day for the plumb wedding. 🙌🏻 cannot wait to share more from kaitlyn + travis’s wedding day. dreaming back to better days when the weather wasn’t so dang hot 😅 throwing it back to alise + brian’s wedding day. i love when couples make day turn portraits a priority. first looks aren’t really a big hit around here, but they allow you to spend more time together on your wedding day. they also allow you to take pretty pictures like these to hang on your walls ✨ give me all of the sweet newborn cuddles and sugars 🥰 delivered a gallery and blogged taylor + michaels beautiful engagement session today. when deciding on locations for your session, i will 10/10 always pick your family property over any other location. it makes your pictures so much more unique and special to you. go check out their engagement session, the link is in my bio! still figuring out this whole mom of two, running a photography business, while in the process of selling our house. not to mention, a very cute demanding and clingy baby 😅 juggling a million things it feels like these days. my turn around time is longer than it used to be, but i’m doing whatever it takes to get it done these days. in between naps and late at night when the whole house is finally asleep. but i wouldn’t trade this season of life for anything. i’m thankful to be needed by my littles while still fulfilling my passion. a huge thank you to my clients for their patience, love, and support while i figure it out. ♥️ happy mother’s day, to all you beautiful mama’s ♥️ sunflower sessions are available for booking! click the link in the bio for more info. 🌻 look at this beautiful, glowing mama! getting to photograph friends from high school makes my heart so happy. i had so much fun with ariel this sunday for her maternity session. i can not wait to meet this baby girl in a few weeks! ready to tackle my first week back from maternity leave! three newborn sessions, a bridal session, and second shooting a wedding saturday. all while getting sunflower sessions ready to book and work on my new website coming soon! my to do list is a mile long, but i’m excited to be back ♥️
