If you’ve been following along for a while, you may have noticed that wedding days have been a little quieter over here the past few years. But today, I want to share a piece of my heart—and some exciting news: I’m officially stepping back into full-time wedding photography.
This isn’t just a business update; it’s the unfolding of a new season—one shaped by grace, grit, and a whole lot of love.
A little Backstory
Back in 2018, I made the decision to scale back and step into something deeply personal: foster care. We became foster parents that year, and let me just say, it’s the kind of journey that doesn’t fit neatly into words or schedules. It’s raw, beautiful, exhausting, redemptive work. Over the course of three years, we opened our hearts and home to children who needed safety and love, sometimes just for a little while, and sometimes forever.
Our second placement—two precious little boys—changed everything. For three years, we fostered them, walked alongside them through heartache and healing, and in September of 2021, we officially became a forever family. That day is etched in my soul, a beautiful, full-circle moment that I’ll never forget.
Even after the adoption, my arms and home stayed open. I cared for friends’ children while they worked, and our days were full of snack times, therapy appointments, Legos, and lullabies. I stepped away from my camera, but I never stopped telling stories—I just told them in quieter ways, with sticky fingers and bedtime prayers.
And now, here we are. Our boys have grown. Therapy is complete. Our house, once so tender and in transition, has found its rhythm. We’ve settled into something solid and joyful. And with that peace, I’ve felt the familiar pull—the stirring to return to the place where I first felt so fully myself: behind the lens as a full-time wedding photographer.
My Return to Wedding Photography
There’s something so incredibly sentimental about weddings. The nervous laughter, the sacred vows, the generations of love watching from the pews, flower girls running wild and the grooms wiping away tears they swore they wouldn’t shed. Capturing these moments has always felt like an honor, and I am beyond ready to dive in again—fully, wholeheartedly, and with a fresh perspective that only time, motherhood, and faith can bring.
So, to my past couples: thank you for letting me be part of your stories. To my future brides and grooms: I can’t wait to meet you. I’m bringing six years of life, heart, and healing back to my wedding photography business—and I’m ready to serve you with everything I’ve got.
Brides– Let’s make some magic together! Let’s tell your story with honesty, tenderness, and a whole lot of joy. Head over to my weddings page to learn more about my wedding experience and inquire about your date!
With grace,
Christina
