June 16, 2026Leave a comment

Claire & Parker had the most beautiful evening for their babymoon session, celebrating this sweet season of anticipation before welcoming their little one into the world. As the sun set and the soft summer breeze rolled in, it was impossible not to see the incredible love they share not only for each other, but already for the precious baby they will soon hold in their arms.

There was so much joy, excitement, and tenderness throughout their session as they dreamed about all the moments ahead: tiny fingers and toes, sleepless nights, first smiles, and the countless memories that will fill their hearts in the years to come. Every glance, every smile, and every gentle touch reflected just how excited they are to become parents.

We are so honored that we were able to capture this special chapter of their story. These beautiful images will serve as a reminder of the love, hope, and anticipation they felt during this fleeting season of waiting. Claire & Parker made memories on that gorgeous summer evening that they will cherish for a lifetime, and we cannot wait to see the amazing family they are becoming.

Sarah & Parker’s surprise engagement at Johnson’s Beach was one for the books! Sarah arrived thinking she was coming to the beach for a friend’s photo session, completely unaware that Parker was about to ask one of the most important questions of his life. As sunset arrived, he got down on one knee and surprised her with a beautiful proposal.

Just when Sarah thought the surprises were over, family members who had traveled from out of state appeared to celebrate the exciting news. Watching the joy, tears, hugs, and laughter unfold was such an honor. We are so grateful we got to capture these precious memories and celebrate alongside these two as they begin this exciting new chapter together. Sarah and Parker made memories that beautiful summer evening that they will all cherish for a lifetime! Congratulations, Sarah & Parker!

Michelle + Todd’s Surprise Engagement

A Love Chosen Again and Again

Some engagement sessions are beautiful. Some are meaningful. And every once in a while, we get to witness something truly sacred.

Michelle and Todd’s surprise engagement session was one of those moments.

Surrounded by the quiet beauty of the beautiful evening, Todd surprised Michelle with a heartfelt proposal and a gift that perfectly captured the foundation of their relationship a custom canvas declaring the words, “I Choose You.” Not just for one day, but every day. In every season. In every version of reality.

One of the most touching moments of the evening was a private foot-washing ceremony. A beautiful act of humility, service, and Christ centered love, it reflected the commitment they are making to walk through life hand in hand, placing one another’s needs above their own. It was so special in everyway!

As photographers, we have the privilege of documenting love stories, but this felt like so much more than an engagement session. It was a living picture of what marriage was designed to be: a daily choice to love unconditionally, to serve faithfully, and to keep choosing each other through every chapter ahead.

Michelle and Todd, thank you for allowing us to be part of such an intimate and unforgettable moment. Your love for one another shines brightly, and we cannot wait to see what God has in store for your future together.

Congratulations on your engagement!
