Cody + Kadance’s Surprise Engagement

Cody + Kadance’s Beautiful Surprise Engagement

Where do we even begin? Cody truly knocked it out of the park planning this perfect moment for Kadance, and she had no idea. From the sweet proposal on the sand to all the emotion, love, and joy captured in these photos, we are just obsessed with this session.

What makes this story even more special? Cody came across a backdrop inspiration photo he loved and shared the idea with his aunt. She took that vision and thoughtfully created a stunning custom backdrop just for their proposal. It turned out beautifully and added the perfect finishing touch to their special moment.

We’re also excited to share that Aunt Pat will now be working alongside us to design custom backdrops for all of your special occasions. We are so grateful to welcome her to the Lashes and Lenses Photography team and can’t wait to create more beautiful moments together.

Thank you, Cody and Kadance, for allowing us to capture such an unforgettable memory.

The Bonds Family

There’s nothing sweeter than kiddos who are every bit of their parents’ hearts and completely stole mine! At the Bonds family beach session, the magic was undeniable: they had toes in the sand, sun-kissed giggles, and wishes whispered to starfish. They twirled through a dreamy mommy-daughter dance in the water And in between the fun, there were soft, quiet snuggles — the kind that speak love louder than words ever could. A perfect evening, full of heart and memories to last a lifetime.
