oklahoma sunset maternity photos | justin + kallye

it’s always an honor and joy to photograph maternity shoots - but when it’s your friend of 18 years turned sister-in-law, it just hits different.

we took these back in May before we even knew baby girl’s name - and i just remember feeling a lot of excitement and anticipation for her to be here, and also a little like "how are we old enough to be having babies?” because growing up with someone just makes you both seem forever adolescent -

but more than anything i just felt in awe of + excitement for Kallye + Justin - who’ve been through so much in so little time, who had been trying for some time to bring a little light into their world, and who were already becoming incredible parents.

little Hazel Kate has since arrived and we’re all very enamored by her - but I just love these and wanted to share them - getting to photograph one of my oldest friends becoming who she was always created to be - a mom <3.

love you guysss.

sweet + playful cabin lovers | Tyler + Josie-Lynn

these two are passionate people + it shows . i can tell the depths of their love just by photographing them interacting, laughing, and kissing one another . I can tell they’ve had their disagreements and worked through them . I can tell they’ve fought for it and came out on top . i can tell they’ve weighed their options — over and over again, chose each other . because the passion is palpable + seemingly effortless . and that doesn’t come without it’s fair share of passionate heights + depths . to know one another - and always choose “yes” to/for them.

tyler + josie-lynn - your love inspires .
