I love the moment right before a bride gets into her dress. Something about finally seeing yourself in your wedding gown makes the day seem so much more real. I love the anticipation of that experience. â â It's such a special moment. â¨â¨

When I look back at these portraits, my heart just melts and I think, maybe I should take on more family sessions. What do you think? â â â This sweet couple was gracious enough to let me style them for some summer family portraits. Summer, to me, is wrap dresses, linen jumpsuits, hats, and bare feet.... oh, and flowers. Lots and lots and flowers. đź I loved the earthiness and simplicity of these images and how those elements emphasize softness and warmth. â â What I really learned from this day was that I love styling portrait sessions as much as I love photographing them. I love dreaming them up. I love carefully and thoughtfully picking color palettes, fabrics, and accessories that tell a story. There's something about styling and design that fuels my soul, and I'm always searching for ways to infuse more of that joy into my job. ⨠â â

A couple weeks ago Niko and I were driving back home to Shelby County. We started chatting about our personalities and the ways we deal with conflict and then, it led to such a sweet, uplifting conversation. We answered this question about each other, What is a strength I have that is just so unique and personal to me? If you want to feel loved and known (or maybe see yourself in a new way) AND share that same love with someone close to you... Ask them that question and answer it for them, too. If you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear about what makes you special in someone's eyes or what is special about someone you love. đ
