My sweet friend!!! An official introduction is way past due over here, so allow me to share a few ~fun facts~ with you!

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 5 years, photographing weddings, couples, families, branding, etc. just put a camera in my hands and I’m happy!

I married my best friend in the north Georgia mountains last summer and somehow continue to love him more with every season! Planning our wedding was a peaaaaak season for me, I’d do over again in a heartbeat!

I’m a bit of a nostalgic so I’m currently obsessed with all things film! I offer film in my wedding packages, but use it for personal travel more than anything, it just brings an element of fun to every trip!

I’ll quite literally travel ANYWHERE to shoot your proposal, elopement, or wedding! My passport is always ready to go!

Switzerland and Italy take the cake for my favorite recent travels (New Zealand is up there for all time!) it’s hard to beat being proposed to in The Italian Dolomites! (peep on my feed)

We’re PREGNANT!!! Little girl is joining us this December and we couldn’t be more excited!!!

God is my Co-CEO, everything good in this life and this business is credited to Him! I came to know Jesus in 2020 when I was at the darkest point in my life, and have been growing closer to Him ever since. He is truly the most important thing in my life and I LOVEEEE talking about my faith and experience with Christianity!

Hubs and I have drank the DIY kool-aid and can’t stop dreaming up new projects every weekend for our previously all white 90s house, we are loving how we bond the most during these projects!

Lol … yes, we won! You can read all about our experience on my website’s blog!

One of my life goals is to find the best craft coffee in every city that I go to, but when I’m ballin’ on a budget, it’s homemade syrups and enjoying my latte on the patio

I’m a photographer by trade, but truly a creative at heart, with a passion for all things crafty and homemade! Whether it’s scrapbooking, gifting, framing my favorite photos, painting/decorating our home, or hosting a good party, I’m all in!

I also have a passion for mentoring other female creative entrepreneurs! You are s taken in Austin, Texas by @katewaldis

making things official in the place it all began 🫶🏼

they say to get married somewhere special, somewhere meaningful

what’s better than the place you first laid eyes on the person you’re choosing to commit to forever?

university ave church of Christ is the most special place for Rachel + Nate and made the perfect backdrop for their vows!

A beautiful first touch for Maddie & Drew, right outside the barn.

Swipe to slide four to see the butterflies that joined them for the moment. If that isn’t a little wedding-day magic, we don’t know what is. 🦋
