I’ve been thinking a lot about how I show up online. I share my photography, little glimpses of my family, and bits of life here and there—but I don’t always share what’s happening behind the scenes. Not just the work, but the in-between moments. The things I’m learning, the ways I’m growing (or struggling, or figuring it out as I go).

So I’m starting something new. Every Monday, I’ll share a little “Life Lately”—a peek inside my business, my family, my faith. Because life is more than just what we do. It’s about the people we love, the things we’re walking through, and the lessons we don’t even know we’re learning yet.

I don’t have it all figured out. But maybe that’s the point.

Life has been moving fast. It always does, but lately, I’ve felt it more than usual. Maybe it’s because wedding season is coming, and my calendar is about to be filled with long weekends, back-to-back weddings, and late-night editing. Or maybe it’s because Jordan is launching his own business, and for the first time, we’re both walking this path of entrepreneurship together—learning as we go, figuring out what it means to build something from the ground up.

Or maybe it’s because I look at my kids—growing faster than I can keep up—and realize how much I want to hold onto these moments before they slip away.

Business-wise, this season feels familiar, but different. I know the rhythm of wedding season by heart—the early mornings, the golden-hour portraits, the quiet moments before a bride walks down the aisle, the late nights backing up memory cards. But this year, I’m not just focused on my own business. I’m watching Jordan step into his, and in a way, it feels like we’re both starting something new together. It’s exciting. Humbling. A little chaotic. And yet, through all of it, I can see God’s hand. I can see how He’s been preparing us for this, how He’s teaching us that we don’t have to have it all figured out before we take the next step.

At home, things are loud and full and moving too fast. Jackson has officially decided he’s the funniest person in the house, and honestly? He might be right. Ellie is full of personality and keeps us on our toes. And Charlie is at that stage where I blink, and he’s grown. Some days feel never-ending, but I know, deep down, that these are the days I’ll miss. And I don’t want to wish them away.

I’ve been thinking a lot about trust lately—what it really looks like to let go. I like knowing what’s next. I like having a plan. But I can feel God nudging me toward something different. I’m learning, slowly, that faith isn’t about holding everything together. It’s about believing that even in the unknown, even when I can’t see the whole picture, He’s already ahead of me.

So this week, I’m choosing to lean in. To trust. To grow. To loosen my grip and stop believing the lie that I have to have all the answers before I take the next step.

If you’re in a season like that—where you feel like you’re balancing so much at once, where the future feels a little uncertain, where you’re trying to hold on and surrender at the same time—I see you.

Let’s walk this road together.
