TEXAS BRIDES + PHOTOGRAPHERS (or any bride/photographer that doesn’t live in a breathtaking destination):
 This one is for you. When I started falling in love with photography, Texas got old pretty quick. I wanted to shoot in mountains or on beaches and the flat nothingness of Texas was starting to discourage me that my work would never look like photographers who lived in beautiful destinations. That is not true!!! There are beautiful places right in our backyard - did you know that 3 hours north of us is a nature preserve in Oklahoma with mountains and valleys? There is a waterfall just a couple off hours away too! Austin has swimming holes and hills that are to die for! And there are so many places in the city that could look just like NYC if you know the right rooftops. It doesn’t matter where you live - you can find beautiful places anywhere, you just have to be willing to do the research and get the work done. ❤️TEXAS BRIDES + PHOTOGRAPHERS (or any bride/photographer that doesn’t live in a breathtaking destination):

I was going through old photos recently to re edit old content, sort through pictures for my new website (launching SOON), and plan out social media posts and I just got lost in rabbit hole looking at all the beautiful places I have seen in my life. The Lord has blessed me to be able to travel to be able to travel all over the world in my 26 years of life and I still cannot believe the places I have gotten to see. My favorite trip I have ever taken to date is right after college when I blindly signed up to go all alone for a month around Europe with a group of strangers. It took less than 2 days to make life long friends and we turned the country for 29 days. I got to see places I had only DREAMED of seeing since I was a little girl and my love for travel was magnified in that month. I remember standing on the beaches of cinque terra (pictured) and thinking there wasn’t another place on earth has beautiful as this one. And then I realized I thought that about almost every place we stopped. The world is too beautiful to narrow it down to favorites - thats when I realized that one day I wanted to see it all. Every place is unique and different and beautiful in its own way. We 9 countries and 17 cities in 25 days and it was a whirlwind of beauty and adventure and I want to keep filling my passport as long as I can. I saw places that had been on my bucket list my entire life during this trip and now I have a new list I am ready to slowly start marking off. Do you like traveling? Do you have a travel bucket list? What is one it!? Give me allll the travel ideas 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼I was going through old photos recently to re edit old content, sort through pictures for my new website (launching SOON), and plan out social media posts and I just got lost in rabbit hole looking at all the beautiful places I have seen in my life.

How in the world do you choose a location for your elopement? I wrote a blog alllll about this question because I know that this is one of the FIRST things couples do when choosing to elope. (I even had the HARDEST time finding a location in Colorado to hold our ceremony) I just wanted to tell you that you cannot go wrong with this, BUT to help you narrow it down I wrote 5 points to help narrow it down: 1. Is there a specific location that has meaning to you? 2. What type of landscape do you want? 3. Keep in mind how accessible the location is. 4. Consider the season you are getting married in. 5. Do you want your family to be a part of your day? These 5 points can help you to narrow down location and make it WAY easier to pinpoint exactly what YOU want for your big day. If you want to read more, the link to this blog is in my bio and I unpack each of these points for you!!How in the world do you choose a location for your elopement?

The only reason I ever met Aaron was because of my camera… Back in college I wanted to settle down, get married and have babies. I wanted to fall in love and find my worth and identify in a man (I am cringing). Little did I know, I had no idea what love was, I didn’t know who I was, and I sure didn’t know my worth. The Lord’s plans were FAR better than my own and He so beautifully showed me who I was, showed me my identity in Him and then showed me I had my own dreams that didn’t involved a boy at all. That is when I picked up a camera and the Lord showed me my dreams, my passions, my goals in life and slowly showed me WHO I was. It was hard and painful and I always thought my plan was better until God’s plan unraveled and became far better than anything I could’ve ever imagined… Fast forward a few years and it was with this passion for photography that the Lord brought me Aaron. It was one of my own clients who introduced us. Through doing what I love, photographing weddings and love stories - that I found my own. And if I never would’ve followed God in HIS plan for me, I would’ve never found Aaron. We were set up on a blind double date and I knew within a month that he was the man I wanted to marry and hoped one day I could. It was only 8 months later that we stood on a mountaintop and said “I do” to forever. I tell you all of this because the beauty of our story to me is that the Lord wrote every piece of it. There are too many details to count, too many connections, too many beautifully intricate things that could’ve never happened without the hand of God in every step. He had my love story planned from the beginning of time and HIS plan was far better than anything I could’ve ever imagined. He gave me a fairytale better than any I have ever read in books or seen in movies, because it is mine and the author wrote every piece out of love. ❤️ 📷: @wildheartvisualsThe only reason I ever met Aaron was because of my camera… Back in college I wanted to settle down, get married and have babies.

We weren’t actually supposed to use these kayaks…. We showed up to do a photoshoot in this absolutely breathtaking area and these kayaks were a DREAM. I have dreamed of doing a shoot like this for what feels like forever but they were $30 to rent kayaks and we barely had time left at the end of our session to use them, so we asked the guy if we could hop in for a photo and not even untie them from the dock. He said yes so we did that, I cut out the dock and BOOM - epic lake kayak picture without even leaving the dock. 😂 Okay all that to say - do you want photos that tell your story?? Not just poses used on every couple but photos that are adventurous, special and show your personality? My favorite thing to do are adventure sessions like this one - hiking, kayaking, swimming, playing with your pup, etc. Those are my kind of photos. No more awkwardly posed photos where every single photo looks the same. If you are screaming YES then I am your girl - lets go on an adventure!!We weren’t actually supposed to use these kayaks….

Did you know I have an entire blog about how to prepare for your session? I talk about location, outfits, your photographer, etc. to help YOU prepare to get in front of a camera. Because we all know it can be weirddddd at first. I also have an entire outfit guide for my couples that I send out once you book your session with me. It is DAUNTING to pick out outfits for sessions - it took me like 30 min just to choose what outfit to wear in a reel I made recently and it has taken me weeks before to find a dress for a photoshoot and I don’t want you to stress like that so I have a guide allllll about what looks good on camera! You do NOT have to be an expert - that’s why you hire one :)Did you know I have an entire blog about how to prepare for your session?

Okay so I had a TON of things I wanted to say about weddings and that I specifically wanted to learn about PLANNING weddings when I got engaged. I was determined to learn ALL I could while I was a bride so that I could better prepare and understand what my clients go through. Because let me tell you - wedding planning is CRAPPY. It sucks and if you haven’t been through hit yet - there is HOPE. Because what I learned is that the culture of weddings and planning the way that today’s culture tells you to is what sucks. Getting married and planning YOUR big day doesn’t have to. SO I wrote a list of what I personally learned while wedding planning. This is COMPLETELY and totally MY opinion and what worked for me and it may not work for everyone. However, I know that a ton of MY brides feel this exact same way and this advice is what I want to give them!! I wrote a blog alllllll about what I learned while wedding planning and then 5 tips I would give brides after going through it. If you want to read about it I shared that brand new blog last Wednesday and the link is in my bio!! 📷: @wildheartvisualsOkay so I had a TON of things I wanted to say about weddings and that I specifically wanted to learn about PLANNING weddings when I got engaged.
