“I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

Style Highlights: My Love of Hands
/
Hands are the most expressive part of the human body, second only to the face. When I photograph hands, I can tell a story with ethereal emotion that connects with the viewer in a way many other types of photos can not. I love them in my portraiture and weddings because they denote connection. They tell the viewer the story of a life in one image, as well as evoking memory into the bride/subject whose hands are in the photo.

/
Hi, friends! I’m glad you’ve decided to join me again! Today, I’m letting you have a peek inside my gear bag- specifically my film gear! I chose to start with this content because film photography still doesn’t get as much exposure as it should in the wedding photography world. We are in an age where people still think of grainy, dark, harsh flash, underexposed skin tones, and forever-long wait times when they hear the word film. So I thought I would shed some light on both my gear and some misconceptions about film photography in the wedding/portrait industry. Let’s go!

Gosh, I can’t believe 2019 is almost over! It will be 2020 in less than 100 days! I’m sitting with a cup of coffee in hand and I find myself looking at my wedding portfolio so far and unexpectedly thinking about how far I’ve come. I remember prepping for my first wedding like yesterday. I shot my last wedding of 2019 this past Saturday and by default, I’m reflecting on the time passed. Here are a few things I’ve learned since being the girl behind the camera that hot July day in 2017.

This session has been on my highly anticipated list for the past two weeks! I’ve been checking and re-checking my inbox for early scans for days now. I knew that when I got them, I’d catch that unmistakable feeling….fulfillment. Joy. Excitement. Taylor and Frankie are young loves who have just recently passed their 5th anniversary!

It’s been quiet and stable over here for the past few weeks. I am deeply enjoying the early days of coming season of transition and rest. Living on the east coast, I decided to leave my phone at home, zip down to the river, throw my backup camera on auto and snapped a few pics. It was refreshing to take a snap of what caught my eye initially. It was the most fun.

Midsummer Maternity | Baby McBride

You guys. This session is a good one. And I mean a GOOD one! (You know when you taste that pot of chili in the winter and it beats all the other chili’s because it has that little something extra?) That’s how I feel about this session. Not only was the weather absolutely impeccable, they were just the sweetest couple that gladly followed my excited gibberish during their session. You may recognize Kaylee from a few sessions of mine before, and now she’s a mama!

Melissa + Steven | Elegant Garden Engagement On Film
/
I had the most amazing opportunity to photograph Stephen and Melissa and I have to say, they are two of the most in love people I’ve ever met and so willing to let me mold and shape them! They brought their precious puppy, Retta and she was so energetic and full of life! I say that because ya’ll know me and pups……cue squeal!! I even squealed over a little family of dachshunds we saw in the park! I got the opportunity to visit Bok Tower Gardens again and this time, we explored the on-property estate which was just gorgeous! I had been chomping at the bit to photograph that part of the park, haha! Well, it proved just as beautiful as I had hoped, made only more lovely by the couple and their pup who radiated such joy and love. Enjoy this gorgeous gallery!

Maternity has to be a secret favorite of mine. Much like weddings, there is a certain ethos about submitting your body, soul and heart to another person. It is beyond anything I’ve ever seen or known! Women are such powerful beings!
When I stopped accepting family and maternity portraits last year to focus on weddings and seniors, I knew I didn’t want to completely stop the offering so
