Another fun week at Kure Beach!

We celebrated our anniversary in an igloo last night! We were here for a cheer comp but had a lot of fun along the way! I’d highly recommend The Historic Cavalier Hotel! Happy anniversary to my love!

A really fun few weeks! Costa Rica, bday party for Lynn, time with friends and holiday cheer!

The theme for tonight at Engage Summit is “artsy”. I feel like I’m giving off an artsy super hero vibe. 🤣

I photographed one of couples(not making that a habit🤣) and we had so much fun shooting in the rain. They were one of the first couples we booked at the venue and had such a connection that I really wanted to photograph them. I’ve been through a lot this year with my health and they picked up on it from my social media and gave me the most generous gift. I just felt so depleted that the gesture and the appreciation made me burst into tears. Many times my thoughtfulness is not reciprocated so when it is, it truly balances all. I’m feeling very thankful! 🤩

I’ve always loved ring shots! This is a fun one with M & A’s Limoncello favor as a lit backdrop! Not the mention the stunning engagement ring!

I mean how cute are these two? They are just beautiful people inside and out! I’m so glad that I got to know them over the last 2 years and share in all of these intimate moments. Oh and I sobbed during their vows. ❤️🥰💒

Right now plain, studio backdrops haven’t been as popular for me as they have in the past. Most of my reoccurring clients are asking for their headshots to be shot environmentally in their office. I love this, but the trends wax and wane.
💕

One session…multiple styles for content! I love doing headshots and the diversity of having the time to create some different looks. We can do something more organic like this or swipe to see a more traditional headshot from the same session!

Soooooo thankful to have Hannah on board my team especially now while I’m finishing my wedding photography career AND developing The Upchurch project! Thanks .h.vestal for your hard work! ❤️

Ring shots! I’ve always loved doing them and this past weekend’s wedding was no different. I do something different for every single couple! 💍 👰 🤵‍♂️ ❤️
