Motherhood Connection Session | Nakeia & John | Valley Forge National Historical Park | DFW Destination Photographer

This motherhood session was one for the books. The golden Fall sunset was what dreams are made of and John was the sweetest, happiest kid. I think he had the most fun out of all of us, he was thrilled to get to cuddle and love on his mom throughout our session (can’t you tell!?). I was so excited to get these images on the computer and edited after our session, but not as excited as I was to see them the way they were meant to be seen, in PRINT. Displayed on heavy-weight archival matte paper, these made for some seriously beautiful pieces of art.

A Motherhood Session at Hunting Island Beach | Beaufort SC | DFW Travel Photographer

Last month I had the opportunity to photograph my sweet friend, Katie, thanks to her awesome husband who secretly reached out to me to plan this session as a surprise for her. I’ve always been inspired by Katie as a mother, but getting to witness her and her children from behind my lens for the first time was just so special.

Charly & JD's Cloudy Sunset Session at Hunting Island State Park | DFW Travel Photographer

These two beautiful humans decided to take an evening to celebrate their love and document who they were in this chapter of their lives as a couple. Honestly, photographing married people like this is hands down, one of my FAVORITE kinds of sessions. No big occasion, no milestone date, just two people fiercely in love, putting immense value in investing in their legacy and taking the time to slow down and just pour into each other. Don’t get me wrong, anniversary sessions, vacation sessions, family sessions, I adore them all, but there’s just something so special about photographing two lovers “just because.”

Nearly ten years ago, Gianna and Joe met at a job they shared working together at a golf course. She said he was easy to talk to and super down-to-Earth right from the start. He said she was more beautiful than anyone he’d ever met in his life. On a Friday night almost three years ago, they drove to Cape May to visit the Christmas Village at Congress Hall, and Joe proposed to Gianna right outside in front of the Christmas Tree.

Their wedding day was laid back, relaxed, and oh-so beautiful - it was such an honor and a privilege to bear witness.
