Cody & Maggie | A Brakefield at Riverwalk Wedding

Cody and Maggie had such a beautiful wedding day. Their smiles, laughs, and laid back attitude about the entire day made it perfect for them. Everything was perfect. The weather, the ceremony, the party bus, and the cake! The bridal party was so much fun and surrounded Cody and Maggie with love and support on […]

Logan’s First Birthday

This First Birthday session was simply adorable. Logan is the happiest little thing. He laughed, and smiled right at me… over and over. We found the perfect path with gorgeous light at Latta Plantation Nature Preserve. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the afternoon than with this sweet family celebrating their […]

Avi is 6 Months Old

Little ones change so fast. Sweet Avi is 6 months old! On the day of her shoot, her mom said that was the best she had ever been able to sit up on her own. So much changes in the first year of life, so why not go all out and document every possible milestone. […]

Freedom Park Family Session

It has been more amazing than I can explain getting to see some of my friends become parents.

Jordyn and […]

Real People

Compete. Compare. Repeat.

Humans are weird. Especially girls (sorry ladies!! it’s true) when it comes to competing and comparing. We all compete with each other about the most random and insignificant things.

Is this Really Happening

Lately I have been having a lot of these “is this really happening” moments. And it’s in a good way because they are good moments. I don’t know if it’s because I am getting older and I feel like I am still in high school. Or maybe it’s just because these last few years have […]

What Matters

Photo by Jessi Nichols Photography When I was in nursing school, we learned about something called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. (I included a picture of this so it will make more sense). At the time all I heard was blah blah blahhhh. But now, the older I get and the more I am living in […]
