MY HEART HASNT EVER BEEN THE SAME.... You are the sweetest little human on earth and have melted my soul every second since I’ve found out you were a 8 week old bean in your mamas belly! My heart aches because you are growing older and I want you to stay little FOREVER.

I am getting so much done for my wonderful clients ++ feeling SO. FRICKEN. BLESSED!!!!! I was on a FaceTime call today with one of my socia...l media clients and we realized we are close to ONE YEAR of working together and the day we met was the day I put my two weeks in at work to go full time for myself!!

S u m m e r 2 0 2 0 It’s been weird + frustrating + stressful + beautiful + overwhelming + a rollercoaster + literally all the emotions. Trying to juggle COVID || being a new wife || a new business owner || maintaining friendships near + far || reschedule weddings || etc has been H A R D. I am so thankful for every single person in my life - Jason, family, friends, clients (very very VERY patient clients), my followers, literally every single soul I’ve ever met. More da...ys than not I find myself doubting my business // talents and who I am as a wife, daughter, dog mom, friend, etc. BUT days like yesterday refresh my soul! I spent 13 hours at the most beautiful wedding a loved every. single. second. This life is what I’ve always hoped and prayed for. Sometimes I forget it or take it for granted (mental health is hard y’all) but then there are days like yesterday and when I get to bed I just think, Yep. This is it. This is what I was created for. I want to thank you for being patient with me. Taking care of me. Giving words of encouragement. Being understanding. Reminding me when I seem to forget. AND JUST BEING THE FRIGGIN BEST. I love you.

Shelby + Luke W O W is all I have to say about this day. Easily the most emotional wedding I have EVER been apart of. There were tears + laughs + joy + every beautiful emotion under the sun!! The love these two share is so crazy + undeniable. You can feel EVERY. SINGLE. OUNCE. of it pour from their souls. These two were made for each other like nothing I have ever seen I was shooting video today + @hannahphotographynd was doing photo but I was able to snag this beautiful... + emotional moment at golden hour. I told them to take a few moments + to hold each other + take in their wedding day. Such an emotional moment - my heart WASNT ready but thank God my camera was!! I will never be able to thank these two enough for allowing me to capture today - I am at a loss for words (even after this long caption but look past that I have to stay on brand ) See more
