HOW I BEGAN

I STARTED MY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS OVER TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS BEGINNING MY SENIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE.

Although my degree was in elementary education I still had a huge desire to pursue photography as well. With the encouragement of my family & friends I decided to dive in head first and I haven't looked back since. I'm so thankful God has allowed me to turn this passion of mine into a job I absolutely love!

“The expectation in marriage is that the score should be even. An equal partnership. Of course, a scorecard has nothing to do with service or sacrifice or even love. It has to do with control. It is about manipulation. It is math: I’ll scratch your back, and I’ll let you know when I am angered that you didn’t offer to scratch mine. In the Bible, this is said: “Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matt. 10:8). Maybe love isn’t really a two-way street. Maybe there’s nothing fifty-fifty about it. Maybe, instead, love is a bit like candy in a parade or a piñata or a backyard Easter egg hunt. There’s enough to go around; it needn’t be rationed. No math required...It is simple, and it is not simple at all: Give Freely.” — Erin Loechner (an excerpt from her book Chasing Slow)
What my mornings consist of nowadays. ☀️👶🏼 I used to try and wait until she had her first nap to get the day started, but now I just do everything with her even though it takes way longer. 🤷🏼‍♀️
What’s the best way to figure out if you love your job or not? Take a break from it. *I know that isn’t always an option* My maternity leave has been the longest break I’ve had from meeting new couples and shooting/editing photos in 3 years. I miss it like crazy. My favorite work will always be loving my family well, but after taking a hiatus from photography for a couple months I know I hold it near & dear to my heart as well. September 1st is quickly approaching and I’m more excited than ever to get back behind my camera. These photos were taken back in June at one of my favorite weddings to date (@baileygbuchanan + @coachbuckmc’s). Loved working with these two so much! 💛
Our Annie girl was officially 1 month old on Saturday. ❤️🤗 She gained almost 3 lbs. this month and weighed 8 lbs. 8 oz. at her check-up and is 21 inches long. She likes: cuddling w/ mama, rocking w/ daddy, looking at ceiling fans 😅, her moon swaddle, and pj’s. She dislikes: diaper changes, tummy time, mittens on her hands and getting her picture taken (got that from her dad 😜). I have loved being a mom more than I ever imagined. Thankful for the joy this little babe has brought to our lives during a particularly heavy month for our family. We love you, Annie Moon! 🌕✨
Tried dressing this girl up in her cute newborn clothes today but she wasn’t having it. Put her back in her pj’s and she was totally content... I like her more every day. 🍼😴 #pjsallday #anniemoonallison
June was filled with so much pre-baby editing that I didn’t get a chance to share so many of my favorite images! Here are a few from Mallory + Lucas’s wedding day. It still blows my mind that these were taken in someone’s backyard. Beautiful view, even more beautiful couple. 😍🌿
I feel you, girl. 😴
|birth video link in bio| A week ago today we locked eyes with our little love for the first time. We are so grateful we were able to make it to 39 weeks with her and I don’t think that would have been the case without tons of prayer from our family and friends. After my 28 week appointment Annie was measuring in the 2nd percentile and we were fearful she wasn’t growing and developing the way she should. Thankfully, our tiny girl started growing and got up to 5 pounds 13 ounces and is completely healthy. 🙌🏻 With having some complications I knew I would be getting induced early on. The day of her birth was filled with so many emotions due to the fact that my induction didn’t go as planned and ended in a c-section 46 hours after being admitted. On top of that, Jesse’s Dad was taken to the ICU 2 hours away the day before with severe health complications. We were so thankful for technology and the ability to FaceTime his family in after she was brought into the nursery. Amidst all the craziness, July 11th is one of the best days of our lives and we have never been happier to have our world completely flipped upside down in the best way. Our hearts have never been fuller than they are now. We love you so much, Annie Moon. 💖🌙 @steviemstout is a saint and ran up to our room to make it in time to get these moments documented we’ll cherish forever.
