Starting to be beach weather again here in Bahrain! I love this time of year. What plans do you have this weekend outside? ☀️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas in Bahrain! To all the mamas of babies young and old. All the mamas missing their babies on this day. All the mamas at heart still in waiting. Hope your day is full of love 💕 .

When trying to decide whether to include your pets in your photo shoot, the answer should always be YESSSSS. They are part of your family, let’s make them part of your story. 🐶🐱🐢🐯🐥

Sometimes the accidental shots are my favorite! This is from a set of quick self portraits I did with Liv before the father-daughter dance for Girl Scouts a couple of weeks ago (J has been away for work so I got to be dad for the day 💃🏻 and go with my little dancer). I set up a tripod and the timer on the camera and let it click away for a few minutes. This one must have happened as I was walking away from the tripod/camera. I got plenty of nice and snuggly images with my girl but for no particular reason I love how random and weird this one is 💕

I just love using a bit of negative space like this in family sessions. I think these kind of images make for some of the best to print and hang in your home. Something about them just feels more like art than family portrait. Swipe left to see a more pulled back version of this image. You’ll find me moving all over the place to get different angles every session 💪🏻

Shoot & Share contest results are in!!! Check out my stories and I’ll be sharing my photos that got awards with all the specifics, but I’ll give a quick summary here. Over half a million photos were submitted in January and voted on throughout the month of February. I entered 50 photos (the most each person can enter) and since it was my first year entering my goal was to have ONE photo with an award. Awards are recognized for anything top 30% and higher in each category. I’m THRILLED to say 25 out of my 50 photos (half!!!!!!) got awards. I’ll be sharing specifics in my story, including where this photo exactly placed as it was my highest performing photo and ended up as a finalist! Did you enter this year? How did you do? Did you vote? What did you think of the contest and photos? Now click ☝🏻on my stories to see all the results 👀

Are you looking for an alternative to the fort? I’m still dying to do a family session in this spot. I think it would be so much fun!! 🏢

This one loves my camera and my camera loves him 👀 @htoohig thank you for letting me have your family in front of my camera not once, not twice, but three (am I counting right!?) times in the last couple of years. When I stop and think about the number of Navy families who have supported and continue to support this business and passion of mine over and over again, I get all the feels ❤️

A couple of years ago, I hired a photographer to do a session of the girls and I together. Something she said afterwards stuck with me, “When deciding which photos to hang in your home, don’t look through for the ones that are perfect. Look for the ones that elicit some kind of emotion.” Does it make you happy, bring back a fond memory, make you laugh, make you cry, take your breath away, have personality? Those, THOSE, are the photos you should be walking by in your home everyday. So what if everyone is looking at the camera. So what if everyone even made it into the frame. Spend time looking at the images that make you feel something. Need suggestions on where to print and frame locally? DM me and I’ll share my favorite shops!

When your clients are so fun you kind of want to stay and party with them after your time is up 😍😂

This group had the smart idea to have me hangout at their brunch and snap some photos. We did candids for a bit and then some posed group/couples/families. No one had to have their phone out the whole time for selfies or stress about capturing all the cute things the kids were doing. I took care of that while they enjoyed brunch. Give me a call for your next event 📱 I promise not to judge when you grab that fourth margarita (but I might be a little jealous) 😜

Hazel is sick. Again 😩 She’s home from school so we played around with the camera a bit. This is inspired by a shot @britt.skyywalkerr shared of her daughter recently. (Btw, you should go follow her. Her work is amazing 😍Goals 🙌🏻) Small heart cut out of paper (heart needs to be smaller than you think!) and shoot right through it 📷
