Every once in a while, a session finds its way to you at exactly the right time. This one did that for me.
Savannah and Trevor’s story is one of strength. You can feel it the second you’re near them. There’s a calm to their energy, but beneath it is the kind of resilience that only comes from walking through things most people don’t see — and still choosing love, still choosing life, still choosing hope.
Photographing them as they prepare to welcome a new baby into the world hit something deep in me. I’ve spent years behind the camera, capturing milestones and love stories, but this one reminded me what it’s all really about — the work it takes to get here. The unseen effort. The rebuilding. The courage to stand in front of a lens and say, “We made it to this moment.”
Lately, I’ve been questioning my purpose — wondering where I fit, what still matters. But standing there with them, watching the way they laughed together, held each other, and looked ahead with quiet pride… it brought me back. It reminded me why I started doing this two decades ago: to bear witness to love that survives.
Savannah and Trevor, thank you for letting me into this chapter — for trusting me with your truth, your joy, and your in-between moments. Photographing you reminded me that purpose always lands in connection and love.
And Dottie, thanks for coming along and sneaking your love in along the way.
