I don’t have a profound or poetic caption for this but YAY I’m finally posting another preview from Shannon and Michael’s wedding and wrapping up the edits on it today! #fortwayneengaged #fortwaynewedding #fortwayneindiana #fortwayneweddingphotographer #weddinginvitations #ringshot #weddingdetails

Happy wedding day, Shelby & Hayden!!! I’m so excited for you guys and the joy and love that I know this day will hold and I can’t wait to photograph it all! #weddingday #fortwayneengagementphotography #indianawedding #fortwaynewedding #fortwayneengaged

Fun fact: this little guy gets sneak peeks of your photos before you even get them 😉 Ok, I’ve paid the cute baby tax, now let me be real with you for a minute. As a work-from-home-half-the-time, work-away-from-home-half-the-time, wife and mother, and 20-something, and sister and friend and a lot of other things. My “workflow” these days is a little more like a work “start, stop, start back up, try to remember what I was doing, and pick up where I left off, and be as productive as I can before any other interruptions have the chance to come up, and also try to keep a good balance of accomplishing things and also being present with my son and husband” flow. Needless to say, the lines between my roles get blurry sometimes. I think I’m making peace with the fact that I won’t ever have a total handle on life, and that one of the constants I can count on in life is that it will constantly be changing, but especially in these months and years of extreme transitions, I’m learning how to at least not become frozen in place by my dislike of change. I’ve learned that one constant I can always count on throughout the constant change is that practicing thankfulness is a good thing in any situation. So, on behalf of myself and this cutie, I want to say thank you. To anyone who has asked about him (because you KNOW I love to talk about him!), has been patient with email replies and phone calls and scheduling meetings and timeline planning, or has told me you love your photos and have otherwise been super encouraging of me and my work, and have supported me in one way or another, in motherhood, and really in any area of my life. 💛 I’m learning a lot about figurative juggling at the moment, and even though some days it feels like I’m doing more of a “throwing one category of my life up in the air and then catching the next one” sort of act, and some days I could almost be tricked into thinking I'm actually getting this juggling thing down. I love this time in my life, changes and all. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to be in all of the roles I am in and I wouldn’t change any of them for the world, so thanks for being here💛 📷: @yepmsfrizzel

If you follow @johnmayer’s Instagram stories, (you should be if you aren’t) you might’ve seen this quote a few weeks back. I did, and it struck me that a lot of the time, it can be way easier to water down the truth that we talk about or live out in order to speak to a larger crowd. - We stay quiet about our beliefs in order to please a wider audience. We generalize our message in order to hear more voices agreeing. We hold back on what we know we’re capable of to not risk out-doing someone else. And it’s tempting. Who doesn’t want to be celebrated by the masses and cheered on by a crowd? After all, there’s nothing wrong with having a big audience or appealing to a lot of people. Those can be very good things, if they’re used correctly or attracted for the right reasons. But I want to always remember that while it might take some bravery, it’s worth it to tell a deeper truth to a smaller crowd. - To live out, and speak about, and chase down what we feel we’re called to, without the fear of offending. To share things that are vulnerable but relatable in order to give hope to someone going through what we’ve experienced, even if the story isn’t quite as pleasant as we’d like it to be. To take the road less traveled where we’re most likely to find connections that go deep and friendships that last lifetimes. Let’s not be afraid to tell a deeper truth to a smaller crowd.

So happy to be sharing a sneak peek of this adorably happy couple right after they got hitched last weekend! Makeup: @redstilettoartistry Dress: @onefinedaybridal
