Dawn & Ryan | Rosemary Beach Wedding Photographer

It's hard to imagine a setting more perfect for this sweet, relaxed couple. We spent the final hour on the coast enjoying the warm light and beautiful views of Rosemary Beach. Dawn was an expert planner and somehow managed to compliment their surroundings perfectly with their breezy looks. These two are so natural together, like the ocean waves and the soft sand. I am looking forward to their 30a seaside wedding late this Summer!

Susan & Nick | Elegant Birmingham Wedding

Susan & Nick | Elegant Birmingham Wedding

Susan and Nick are a special couple and their day was no exception. The whole atmosphere felt so warm, joyous and welcoming. Their families celebrated in such a generous, sweet way. It was nothing short of incredible to be a part of. Nick and Susan had been sweethearts since high school and after many years of long distance in college decided to be together forever. Susan's mom helped create the stunning florals for the day, her sister Elizabeth did the calligraphy for the invitations and her twin sister Catherine made their wedding logo for the reception. From the details to the flow of the day, it was infused with love from family and friends. These images are just a taste of how happy and giddy these two were the whole day. I wish you both a lifetime of joy!

Haley & Josh | Birmingham Engagement

One of the major perks of my job is having the honor of photographing my family's special moments. My sweet cousin Haley and I have always been very close, so it is such a privilege to document this season as she enters into marriage with her soon-to-be husband Josh. I love that they chose to do the session on Josh's family land. It makes it all the sweeter to know these memories have roots, like the beautiful fall trees, deeper than mere pretty.

Kaylie & Cory | Rosemary Beach Portraits

These two are so dear to my heart. It's truly an honor to photograph people with a desire for simplicity, real moments and beauty without frill. Of course Rosemary Beach at sunset will always be my favorite as well. All the whites, creams, subtle blues and greenery is salve for the seaside-lovers soul.

Small Things Are Big to God

Small Things Are Big to God

You know what freedom feels like? Letting go of any desire to "make it" in the industry, to have our music "out there" in some way, the desire to be published here or there, caring about likes or followers, traveling to certain places, shooting for a certain style of client, to be known, "keeping up" with people/ social media, to have people perceive me a certain way, to do anything "big" for God, etc, etc, etc...God broke me of the chains I didn't even know I had this Summer. And I have felt so much freedom since. I don't have it all right, and I battle against caring too much about what others think and not enough about what GOD thinks. What is there to strive for if not good goals? Goals are good right? Absolutely! But the Lord is leading me to let go of all that in pursuit of small things. No more striving. No more looking for when the flowers will bloom - just digging in the dirt and being faithful to tend my little plot of earth every day and keep out the weeds.
