I recently had the privilege of capturing Kennedy’s maternity session at the beautiful Tuscaloosa Arboretum. The soft glow of the golden hour, the lush greenery, and Kennedy’s radiant smile made this shoot one to remember. She’s expecting a little girl soon, and her strength and grace throughout this journey have been nothing short of inspiring.

When I first met Jorga (prounounced “Georgia”, like the state), her lighthearted laugh and contagious energy immediately filled the room. We first met at Starbucks when she reached out to me about photographing her elopement in July. I could see she was excited and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. I was thrilled for her and so happy for her, and of course, honored that she chose me to document such a joyous season of life.

As a wedding photographer, my mission is to capture authentic, joyful moments that reflect the genuine, heartfelt moments of your special day. Whether it’s a candid laugh shared between you and your partner or the heartfelt tears of loved ones, these are the moments that will live on in your memories—and your wedding photos. Here’s how I ensure that your wedding album is filled with those genuine, timeless memories.

As a wedding and portrait photographer, I spend a lot of time behind the lens capturing everyone’s special moments. But when it’s my turn to be in front of the camera or just feel my best on the job, I have a few go-to beauty products that I can’t live without. I know how important it is to make sure that your hair and makeup are on point all day long, especially on your wedding day!

Last month, my husband and I celebrated seven years of marriage! In honor of that milestone, I thought it was the perfect time to share our love story. I planned to post this last month, but, well… life happened. We decided to homeschool our kids (which is a whole other blog post for another day!), and I’m still figuring out a routine that works for all of us. But anyway, on to our story!
