Hey friend!
This isn’t my usual “photo tips and stories” kind of email—but it is a love story worth sharing.
My husband Rene and I entered a national contest called America’s Favorite Couple (I know…adorable and a little nerve-wracking). 💛
It’s a celebration of couples who found real, lasting love—and if you know my story, you know how much this means to me. From years of single motherhood to meeting Rene on Bumble at 42, this journey has been anything but ordinary.
If you’ve ever rooted for someone who thought their best chapters were behind them—this vote’s for that. ✨

No pressure—just huge thanks for being part of my village. Whether you’ve booked a session, shared my work, or cheered from afar, you’re part of what made this love story possible.
Thanks for supporting the love behind the lens—and behind this life. 🥹
P.S. I’ll be back soon with more photography content. Just couldn’t not share this sweet part of my life.
With heart,
