I opened our wedding album to post one photo… and ended up sitting on the couch for an hour, in tears, reliving every second.

I never really shared these when we first got them — maybe because I couldn’t pick favorites, or maybe because I was just soaking it all in. But today I just wanted to say — I am so deeply grateful for the love God has poured into my life.

Through my incredible husband, whose heart is even more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed, through our people, and for the love of God that’s carried us through it all.

This day. This life. This love.

Welcome back to another little meme day 🍂🌲

Just some random thoughts and quiet forest moments from my camera roll that didn’t quite fit into a series — but still deserved a place to land.

So glad you’re here. 🤎

A little while back, I got to shoot a really fun campaign with the incredibly talented photographer . She had scouted some incredible downtown spots ahead of time, so we just wandered the streets, grabbed some coffee, and stopped wherever the backdrop felt right.

It was such a creative morning — one of those shoots where everything just clicks. I’m still so proud of how these turned out. High fashion meets Florida fall 🍂🖤

October didn’t go how I thought it would — but the good was never gone.

I came into this month expecting joy.

It’s my favorite time of year — cozy mornings, creative projects, little adventures with people I love. And honestly? That did happen.

There was so much good this month.

Sweet time with friends. Beautiful shoots. Fall traditions. Film classes at the art school with Laura. Beach days and creative breakthroughs with Bre. Moments with Ryan that reminded me how safe and seen I am.

Even when I injured my foot, I was met with so much kindness and care.

There was heaviness too — more than I expected.
Things that caught me off guard. Emotions I didn’t have words for.

It wasn’t the month I pictured, and it wasn’t always easy.

But looking back, I realized something important:
The good didn’t sneak in despite the hard. The good was always there. It was the baseline.

The heaviness came in — but it didn’t stay. It didn’t take over. It couldn’t.

These photos are just some little pieces of the good — cozy fall moments that made me smile. Pumpkins, color, and small joys I wanted to share with you today.

So this post isn’t about pretending the hard didn’t exist.
It’s about recognizing that goodness was the bigger story.

And for that, I’m really, really grateful.

Part two of “making memes out of old photos that didn’t quite fit into any of my past galleries or photo sets” (or whatever we’re calling this now) 🍂📸

I made version one last week when I was stuck on the couch, and even though—by the grace of God—I’m now back to hiking, pumpkin patching, haunted housing, and photographing beaches again… I really enjoyed making that one. So here’s another round. 🤎

You like ‘em? I kinda do.

Some evenings just stay with you.

It was one of the first cool days we’d had in Florida in a long time—the kind that actually feels like fall—and and I had just met in person. We spent the afternoon walking around town with her camera and this red silk dress, taking photos wherever the light felt good. It kind of felt like playing dress-up, in the best way.

Looking back now, I had no idea how close we’d become or how many shoots we’d end up doing together. I just remember how peaceful that day felt. The breeze, the quiet, the way everything felt a little slower. It’s one of those memories I didn’t realize I was making while it was happening.

Fall flowers. 🍂🌼

I’ve spent a lot more time on the couch than outside in the crisp autumn air lately—and honestly, that’s been really hard.

I’m usually someone who’s constantly moving, especially this time of year. I love being out in nature, photographing everything, soaking up golden hour light. So this slower season wasn’t exactly part of the plan.

I’m really grateful for the support I’ve had through it all (seriously—so, so grateful), but I won’t pretend it’s been easy. I miss the wildflowers. I miss fresh air and fall adventures. I miss feeling like myself.

Still, I’m trying to find little bits of beauty right where I am—in slow mornings, in quiet moments, in learning to just be still and trust that God’s working even here.

I know I’ll get back out there soon. But for now, I guess I’m just learning to notice the flowers from where I’m planted.

I’ve been stuck on the couch lately (shoutout to my injured foot 🫠), so I haven’t been able to take as many new photos as I’d like.

But while I’ve been resting — 0/10 experience by the way, I’m not someone who typically enjoys sitting down — these little thoughts have been floating through my head.

These are either old photos I never posted because I wasn’t sure how to fit them into a “series”… or newer ones I’m repurposing because I can’t get out and shoot this week. So I’m making memes out of what I do have. Or whatever you’d call this.

Trying to remember that quiet days can still hold beauty (which is hardddddddd). Some of these thoughts are silly, some are soft — all of them are me.

Save for later if it speaks to you 🍂

Whispers of the Outside World 🍂

This week, I’ve been watching the world change mostly from inside — resting my injured foot, recovering, and reflecting. But I keep coming back to these quiet moments I captured on film just a few weeks ago.

Historic places with gardens exploding with color.
Golden hour hitting golden leaves.
Wildflowers.

I can’t go out and explore much right now, but these photos remind me how beautiful it felt to stand still and see.

Developed and scanned by the lovely — I’m so grateful to them for bringing these scans to life.

Which frame is your favorite? I’d love to know 🤎

I’ve been spending a lot of time resting lately (ugh - though no choice of my own…thanks to my stupid injured foot 🦶🏻😅), and it gave me space to reflect on the kind of content that feels most like me this fall:

Cozy light. Quiet corners. Slow moments at home.

I realized that I’ve been creating more of this than I thought—from Airbnbs and client shoots to my own tiny flatlays and personal creative projects - and I’d really love to lean into it more this season.

Sooo, if you’re a seasonal brand, a cozy Airbnb, or someone dreaming up content that feels like a nostalgic escape… I’d love to create together 🕯️
