a baby is on the way | storytelling documentary

My very pregnant sister-in-law invited me to Pensacola for a storytelling documentary session. We walked their neighborhood, had lunch at Jerry's Drive In and worked on a family photograph for their Christmas card. She's beautiful inside/out, pregnant/not pregnant. I adore that she asked me to hang out with them with my camera in tow- just to capture them being them. A milestone moment that is documented. I wish everyone would do this. I crave this kind of photograghy- casual, candid, natural and honest. It's as if time stood still that afternoon. 

a fall river wedding | small event photography

I love the energy of weddings! They're celebratory, sacred and full of deep-down emotions. I was so excited to get to photograph Ashleigh and DC's special day. They planned a perfect fall wedding on Magnolia River. Outside, under oaks with a calm river in the yard- what more could you want? Every moment was photo worthy. But, an impromptu hop in the canoe on the dock post ceremony with all their guest standing to watch was sublime. It was like a scene out of a movie! Genuine laughs, smiles, cheers and kisses. I know that they'll remember that special moment on their wedding day forever!
