Launching a whole new type of session to my email list tonight at 8:30pm! I’m excited and nervous all at the same time🥴.
I can’t wait to hear what you all think!

I can’t believe it’s been almost an entire week since Owen and Emily said their vows. You plan for so long and within a few hours it’s all over.

It's almost been a week since Owen and Emily said their vows in a standing room only church.

Summer in our little country town is pretty great.

Yesterday with Owen and Emily 💕

From an engagement, to their wedding, to maternity then family sessions… watch families grow throughout the years is a blessing and joy.

I’ve built A LOT of wedding day timelines throughout the years. I think one of the most common misconceptions about a timeline is the amount of time it takes for things. Here’s a few of my timeline tips!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Images of your invites, rings, menus ext all take time to style and meticulously agonize over. If possible, I love to do these the day before the wedding day. If not, I typically allow an hour to an hour and a half for these detail images on the day of a wedding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. I allow for at least 30 minutes and the timeline for a bride to get into her dress, shoes, and jewelry. This is a one of the spots where everybody says “there’s no way it will take me 30 minutes to do all of this.!” But trust me, it will.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. First looks with your dad or bridesmaids, brother, grandparents ext are great. But they need to be in the timeline. Spending an extra 30 minutes on unplanned first looks can stress an entire pre-ceremony timeline.

Over here dreaming about spring blooms and golden evening light… while also realizing I still have so many gorgeous fall family sessions I haven’t shared yet 🤦🏼‍♀️ Fall may be over but these moments are too good to stay in my camera roll.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos this year, spring and summer dates are opening soon! You can find all the details through the link in my bio
