THE JOURNAL

Can anyone else believe it’s already November?!?! (or as I like to call it… Mashed Potato Month) I feel like I blinked and 2021 is almost over! If you don’t already know this- Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I feel EXTREMELY passionate about not putting up the Christmas tree, playing Christmas music, or doing […]

Alexis is officially Mrs. Carnes!! This means I can FINALLY share her bridal session!!! I have had so much fun getting to know Alexis and Shawn over the past few months. They are just such sweet, genuine, and kind people. We went to Charleston for their engagement session this spring and the night before their […]

I miss Haley. And I miss Boston- but mostly Haley. Fun story- I actually, kinda, stole her job this summer. She has been interning with my friend Micaela and has been her 2nd shooter all year… until I showed up at the end of July! I didn’t think I would get to meet her, but […]

“Then I examined my own heart. And there you were. Never, I fear, to be removed.” – Jane Austen Finally getting around to blogging this gorgeous shoot!! And I’m so proud to have had it featured on The White Wren!! I still look back on all my pictures from England and have to pinch myself […]

One of my favorite parts of my trip to New England was how many new friends I made while I was there. DeAngela and Jeff got married last year during the pandemic and one of my best friends, Micaela, photographed their wedding!! They found out soon after that they were expecting a little boy- and […]

Right after my couples book me, I send a little get to know you questionnaire. It goes over lots of basics- mailing address, important anniversaries, and what is their favorite thing about the other person? I LOVE reading the answers to that last question because my couples always write the sweetest things about each other- […]

There are so many things I loved about this session- Cator Woolford Gardens is stunning, we had perfect weather, and how gorgeous is this little family?! But the thing I loved most of all about this session was the milestones it commemorated. I’ve known Kaylee for almost 3 years now, and in that time frame, […]

Still pinching myself that this gorgeous shoot from last year was in Southern Bride Magazine!! It’s such a surreal experience to walk into a Barnes and Noble or Publix and see what you created on the shelf for everyone to see!! To say COVID has affected brides would be an understatement. In the past year, […]

“This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.” – William Shakespeare Raise your hand if you’re the worst blogger ever. (Raises own hand) I completely forgot to post the last post in the Keeping up with Jacqueline: Great Britain series… I was scrolling through the back end of my blog and found this post […]

I have never been so excited to wake up at 5:30 am in my life. We were originally planning to do Alexis and Shawn’s engagement session the evening before, but we got rained out and had to pivot. It all worked out for the best though, because the next morning there wasn’t a rain cloud […]
