The thing about social media is that it is the highlights of the highlight reel. I remarked to a friend the other day that people only see about 1% of my life, maybe even less than that, on social media. You see a beautiful couple with a stormy sunset behind them. You didn't see the rain that poured for literally 20 mins while I waited in my car for the couple (I got there super early). I find comfort in praying out loud in my car, so I was speaking truth over my anxiety that the rain would keep us from doing the session. "Lord, you know why we're here. You know this is about Cassidy & John's story. You know that this storm makes me a little panicky. You are God over the weather and God over our stories." The rain passed just in time for us to take some photos, and I was left feeling thankful and a little sheepish that I had been so anxious beforehand. . . I say this because my fear before the shoot was real...but you don't see the fear show up on social media. And there are many other times where my life doesn't look like a glamorous, frame-worthy Instagram moment. This weekend, I felt deep anxiety about finances and my future. I could sugarcoat things and say that I'm sooooo excited to go to Liberty University next year and that everything is sunshiney (which it is, a lot of times!) but that wouldn't be sharing the real truth...which is that I still need Jesus in every step of my life. I need Him to help me trust Him when I am worried about how I will pay for college. I need Him to help me have an attitude of peace and hope rather than one of anxiety and despair. I need Him to help me choose joy when I feel very comfortable choosing negativity. . . I hope this is an encouragement to you as you go about your scrolling seeing the 1% that is shared. We can't compare our messy-beautiful 100% of life to others' 1% that is a highlight reel. My prayer is that you can go out and live your 100% with wholeness and embrace the chaos of it all. Because in the raw & real? That's where Jesus shows up most. ❤️

Hey y’all!! All my fairytale dreams came true yesterday, and since I never post pictures of us, AND my bestie @mao_photography took fresh photos of us So here’s a picture of me, my husband, and my mane in this VA humidity!!!

Sitting here on this Tuesday night nearly in tears because I am just so overwhelmed and grateful. Grateful that life has led me to a career in which I can love on my people fiercely with my whole heart. Where I can be there with couples and families during the most wildly magical times of their lives. Where I can be immersed in these freaking incredible stories and testimonies and journeys of life and love and all the ups and downs, and everything in between. It is an honor that words fail to describe, but the tangible energy from you all and the gratitude I carry through each story and beyond is life-changing; from the very depths of my heart, thank you for having me. | picture by @nicolecalivaphoto

If Rachel + Leif kissing at the end of this rainbow, after enduring the crazy rain during their entire ceremony, isn’t the perfect metaphor for marriage - I don’t know what is. // #awifeforleif

the moments just after a proposal are some of the very best

So loving these summer colors and how beautiful this film is from Allison & Jesse’s wedding at Terrain. Putting the finishing touches on this week, and then we’ll be back at the other Terrain this weekend! @barrieannephotography @shannonwellingtonwedding @splintsanddaisies @zanetarosehair @terrain_events @goodmanfilmlab
