That holy-eff-my-wedding-dress-is-on-and-I'm-about-to-get-married moment that every bride experiences and I experience right along with her. Do I get goosebumps? Eff yes. Do I click click click like crazy? You better believe it. Do I get emotional? Sometimes, shhh, it's fine I’m fine.

To all my sweeeeet precious brides and couples who chose me as their photographer, trusted me to document their most special memories, allowed me to be a loving third wheel, and then took the time to go leave a positive review for me - THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is a high honor, and I'm so eternally grateful! This D-R-E-A-M job of mine would not even be possible without you lovelies!!

NEW HAIR WHO DIS?? Fun fact. That straight hair y'all usually see me rockin? That crap isn't natural. Nope, it takes a decent amount of straightening with a hot flat iron for me to achieve my straight hair. The truth is, I have wavy hair. But let's not get confused here....it ain't cute wavy. My natural wave is... well, trash. It looks lopsided and wonky and it'd make you question if I've bothered to brush my hair at all in a few days. But since flowy beachy waves are in rn, I thought why not lean into my natural a bit more and have my hair curled to achieve this look here?? And let's just say, I'm totes digging it!!

Have you ever been zip-lining? If so, you know it's pretty exhilarating. A few buckles, some lines, a jump and off you go - zipping through the tree tops with the ground far, far below. ⠀
⠀
Imagine these two - Emily and Erin, and a day of zip-lining and experiencing all these excited feelings and surges. Imagine how Erin must have felt, knowing that he had a plan in place to do something unexpected. Imagine how Emily felt, when all she knew was she was having a blast zipping from platform to platform with her favorite person, her very best friend.⠀
⠀
Imagine how Emily must have felt, when she landed at the last platform, the final zip completed, and she turned to probably hug Erin, to shout "OMG HOW MUCH FUN WAS THAT!!"...and realized that instead of standing there, Erin was kneeling. And instead of being ready for a hug, he was ready to ask a very important question, complete with a little gray box in his hands.⠀

Supporting small businesses never used to phase me....admittedly, (shamefully) I'd go into stores like this and think woof, that's overpriced. Nowadays though, now that I myself own a small business and realize that we pour our hearts + souls into this, that we work tirelessly and nearly 24/7, that people who choose to support us mean so so much - I walk into these stores quite a bit differently! Whether it's a store front, products or a service based small biz, supporting such places as you finalize your Christmas shopping this season goes even further than you realize! Tag a small business that you love + adore below! 👇🏻

it just snowed again for like, .5 seconds. stopped as abruptly as it started... KC has some weirddd weather y'all. but if it's cold enough to snow for even that amount of time, it's definitely cold enough for me to continue the avoidance of opening my front door #hermitlifeforme ⠀
⠀
wanna know a fun fact these two gorgeous humans?? you'd never know it since they look so happy here, but it was fuhhh-reeeezzing at their engagement session, like, easily one of the coldest days KC had seen at that time. also, it was windy as heck! nonetheless though, we made M A G I C ✨
