Abby & Trey | Oak Grove Engagement

Abby & Trey | Oak Grove Engagement

This engagement session had it all - blue and green hues, a guitar, mandolin, killer light, gorgeous floral and this amazing couple. It felt like Springtime the day we shot it too. I've been longing for warm weather, so this session was good for my soul. Abby & Trey are such a phenomenal couple. I love that they incorporated things that are authentic to their lives. Trey is the worship leader at his church and Abby leads with him as well. They are so joyous together. I'm looking forward to their Summer wedding. I know it will be such a fun affair!

Lauren | Light, Free & Enchanting

Lauren | Light, Free & Enchanting

I'm not going to lie, it is a little bit sad to watch people grow up. It reminds me of my own age, and makes me wonder why the years go so quickly. I met Lauren and her sweet class just before Jonathan and I got married in 2010. Now she is graduating! It was such an honor to photograph a few portraits of this sweet, gorgeous girl to celebrate this monument in her life. It has made my heart so happy to watch her blossom into the wonderful, free-spirited girl that she is now. I know God will use her in amazing ways as she enters into this new chapter of life.

Family Session with J. Layne Photography

Family Session with J. Layne Photography

Photos are little moments, frozen in time forever. As a photographer, it's easy to let the documentation of our lives fall to the wayside because I'm constantly documenting for others. But you can't take back time. Life flies by so quickly and once the moments pass they are gone forever. Images are treasures. These are especially dear to my heart. I love these images so much because they are a true expression of us, who we are and how we love…well, except for the fact we don't wear fancy clothes like this everyday! Eleanora wasn't too happy about being outside in the cold, she spit up all over her outfit and my elf ears are poking out! But that's what makes them authentic. It's usually when things don't work out perfectly that the most perfect moments are made. I love them even more because of it. I will always remember this time when we first became a family of three. I know I'm going to blink my eyes and Elle will be all grown up. Every time I book a session for us I'm incredibly glad I did. Letting someone else capture our seasons of life is absolutely invaluable. Just like I'm still in love with our anniversary session with my friend Lauren a while back, I know I'll hold these dear to my heart for all our years to come. I'm so thankful for my friendship with Chelsi & Justin of J. Layne Photography and for their artistic gifts. I'm blessed to know such sweet and talented people in this industry. I'm so thankful they were able to squeeze us in during one of our quick trips visiting my family. Now on to the images! Prepare to have your heart melted.

Lindsay & Andy | Rosemary Beach Anniversary Session

Lindsay & Andy | Rosemary Beach Anniversary Session

It was nearly impossible to narrow these images down of Any & Lindsay's anniversary session last month. This session combined the ocean and Southern charm, which are two of my most favorite things. It was such a pleasure to photograph this gorgeous couple. Their love is so evident, which is partially why I love them so much. I can't wait to see what the future holds for their marriage in the many years to come.

Baby Ansley

Baby Ansley

Our sweet friends Rachel & Brian are due to expect their sweet little girl to make her entrance into the world any day now. We are giddy with anticipation to say the least. We are thrilled our little E will have a playmate very soon. A few weeks ago I had the privilege of doing a little maternity session for them. I have to admit that I haven't really loved maternity images until now. I guess having a baby of my own might play a part in that! Of course, it's hard not to love these. Rachel is such a beauty. She is ever the classy, natural stunner, and as sweet on the inside as she is gorgeous on the outside. It's an honor to call her friend! We can't wait to welcome Ansley into the world you two!
