Failure is the type of teacher who reminds you no one is expecting perfection and encourages you to extend grace to yourself, even when you don't want to.

My goal when it comes to families is to deliver honest portraits. I embrace the chaos, the meltdowns, the imperfections because to me, an honest life is a beautiful life. Like this gorgeous mom who is completely smitten with her newborn daughter. If you want honest images of your family, drop me a line📞

There's something about the weekend that always makes me feel like I need to grab my lover and give him a big kiss. No, just me? Saturday, you make me so happy!

Against all odds, this little one missed his due date and enjoys the cozy environment he's in. Send some encouragement to momma as the waiting continues, I know that feeling all to well! It was the encouraging comments that carried me through💕 @ruthietait @aflywhiteguy

My mother forced me to connect with strangers. I guess that comes with the territory of being an only child raised by a single parent. Don't get me wrong, my dad has always been present and wonderful. But in many ways he, too, forced me to connect with strangers as he remarried countless times after my mom divorced him. He actually remarried again last month (dad, if you're reading this congrats! You saved the best for last🙌🏾). With everyone I met, it felt like I was a part of their life too. They became family and I became theirs, even if our time together was for 5 minutes, it didn't matter. The connection was made. Photography makes me feel that extraordinary sense of belonging and acceptance, the unconditional love. I guess this is why I never felt like I missed out because my parents were divorced. I was given the opportunity to extend love to others. I had the space to do so in my heart. No need to apologize for who you are—you are loved, you are beautiful, your life is full of purpose, you belong. This is why I'm a photographer.

When it comes to Wedding details, every item counts. I'm always shocked when I hear brides say "oh but that's the least of my worries". Really? The shoes that are taking you to the man of your dreams, to enter into a covenant with him, is at the bottom of the priority list? Nonsense! Every item counts, especially shoes 👠

Go ahead, dance in the rain—twirl your dress and enjoy the day when you finally say forever yes to the man you love. My summer bride's had a little rain sprinkled on their wedding day. And while no one ever dreams of rain on their special day, I remind them that overcast weather is God's gift to them. The most flattering light comes from overcast weather. It's as if to say that beauty can be found in the midst of the unexpected. So go ahead and enjoy the rain! Those pictures are going to be pure magic✨

Taking it back to @mrs_parleir & @coleparleir's wedding in #CasaEspaña in Puerto Rico. I need to shoot more #puertoricoweddings since it's the most magical place I have ever been. I'm not just saying that cause I grew up there😏

@kenziepackrall full anniversary session just hit my inbox! I can't even deal, so I'm posting this one to quiet the urge to show you everything. I have so much new work to share with you all😍✨PS Theresa slideshow on IG stories you won't want to miss.
