May and most of June are fully booked up for family sessions, but my associate team is still available in NYC and DFW!
DM me if you haven't had a family session in a while, let's get something on the books!
People always ask, “how do you do it all?”
The Truth: I don’t.
In the last six days alone, these people came to our house to help
Window cleaner $350
Pool guy $65
Mosquito system $80
Bug people $100
House cleaner $100
Roof repairs $600
Lawn guys $60
This is just a small glimpse of what it looks like behind the scenes. A home, two kids, two dogs, and a business.
I share this because I want to be more honest about what it actually takes.
No one does it all alone.
The wedding industry kept asking couples to choose.
Stills or film? Editorial or candid? Polished or raw?
But couples were never actually choosing they were just waiting for someone to offer them everything at once.
Now they have a name for it: layered storytelling.
Editorial portraits for the walls. Party flash for the feeling. Soft motion clips for the moments that needed to move. Film textures and Super 8 grain for the memory of it all. Behind-the-scenes footage that doesn't feel like content it feels like a keepsake.
Something to frame. Something to share. Something cinematic. Something deeply personal.
If you're a vendor who wants to understand where weddings are heading and how to position yourself there our free education program Pretty Perspectives was made for you.
Mental Health Awareness Month
In an industry that rarely slows down, taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.
This month, Bethany Michaela shares real, honest reminders for navigating busy season, prioritizing what matters, protecting your energy, and creating rhythms that actually support your life (not just your work).
Because showing up fully for your clients starts with showing up for yourself.
Save this for the weeks you need it most.

The truth no one says out loud...
You won't remember half of your wedding day.
That's not a warning.
It's why documentation matters more than you think.
Your brain is flooded with adrenaline all day long.
High emotion compresses memory. The moments that feel biggest in the moment are often the haziest afterward.
The look on your dad's face. The way the light hit. The joke someone whispered.
The details you swore you'd never forget are the first to fade.
It gives the day back to you again and again.
Not just a highlight reel. The real, layered, feeling of it.
Portraits, Flash, Motion, Film grain and BTS moments.
Each format captures something different. Together, they hold the whole day.
"I want something to frame, something to share, and something that feels like a memory."
Couples aren't choosing between formats anymore. They want all of it.

Our Dallas favorites, written by the seasons!
The parks, the patios, the little spots we found and kept going back to. The kind of places that slowly become part of your routine, our memories, our everyday life.
Oak Cliff will always hold a special place for us. So many of our favorite moments happened here, slow mornings, good food, familiar faces.
There’s so much we’re going to miss.
But the best part is knowing we’ll be back. For weddings, for work, for visits… and of course, for all our favorite spots.
This isn’t really goodbye, just see you soon.
