I was born south of New Orleans, LA and grew up in the suburbs of Jackson, MS. I always said that I wanted to settle down in Nashville, and after college and a brief time working in NYC, that's just what I did. I met Sara-Lane two months after moving here, and we've continued putting down roots these past 12 years. I enjoy retouching, riding bikes, and teaching Sadie and Shiloh the secret family gumbo recipe on game day. #geauxtigers
My love for creativity started as a kid. I wanted to be a cartoonist for Disney and drew scenes from The Lion King 24/7. I became interested in photography during college, taking classes as part of my design degree, and when I met Sara-Lane that love for it only grew. Meeting so many different kinds of people and making new friends is what I love most about shooting. By the end of working together, we always feel like we're part of the family.
I'm a wife, mama, and small town girl originally from Brighton, TN. (901 reprezent). I moved to "the big city" of Nashville in 2011 where I met Stevie. I love thrift shopping, musicals, iced coffee and decorating our home, and I have never met a cat or horse that I didn't become fast friends with. The first thing I do when I get home is put on sweat pants and light a candle because not being cozy at home is just wrong. I love traveling whether that's somewhere new and fun, or simply to spend time with our dear friends and family.
I started using disposable cameras when I was a kid, not knowing then that a career as a photographer was possible or even a real thing. All I knew was that I loved capturing moments and people that I loved, and that picking up those print packs from Wal*Mart with my mom felt like Christmas morning. Years later, a C minus and a miserable time in Biology 101 pushed me towards following that scary feeling in my gut to pursue a career as a creative.

I (SL) shot my first wedding as a broke college student. I used most of my photography professor's gear, and my mom was my assistant. Looking back, I have always had so much support to pursue my dreams and develop my God-given talents, and to those people who have believed in me, I will be forever grateful.
When I met Stevie, he instantly became one of those people. He has been my biggest fan and has made my own passions a team endeavor. I like to think I do the same for him. Since the start of our relationship, we have chosen partnership in every avenue of life.
So when I asked him to second shoot a wedding for me when we were dating, he naturally and excitedly agreed (I also paid him back then lolz). I continued to book more weddings and sessions, and Stevie continued to come alongside me for each one. As we worked and grew the business together, we came to understand and develop the unique strengths and perspectives we each brought to photography.
Each year, we pray for the right couples to hire us for their weddings and sessions. It is our mission to serve each one well, love them lots, tell their story joyfully, and always go above and beyond what is expected.
It's been twelve years since we shot that first wedding together, and just about every aspect of life looks crazy different now than it did then. But it's still me and Stevie. It's still photography. And because of God's goodness and faithfulness, us two and our business have grown leaps and bounds through the years.
Photography has been the greatest teacher to me. I have learned to wait with giddy expectation, to let go of control and simply be present, and to search for beauty in every moment. It's taught me that life is painfully short and entirely wonderful. Maybe photography will teach you a little something too.
Sara-Lane & Stevie were perfect for our engagement photos and wedding photos! They are professional, kind, and amazing at what they do. I am typically very self conscious in photos however, they were able to break me out of my shell. Our vision for our photos was to be carefree and show our natural selves looking our best. They captured our vision perfectly! Sara-Lane & Steve were easy to coordinate with. They were very prompt with providing sneak peak photos and our finished gallery as well!
Our wedding would not have been the same without this amazing couple! Besides being talented, professional & thorough, they treated us like old friends from the very beginning. They listened to what was important to us and gave us pictures that told the story of our wedding in the exact way we wanted. If you are looking for photogs that care about you and your story, Sara-Lane & Stevie will melt your heart with their hard work, kind spirits and incredible talent.
When searching for a photographer, you want someone who makes you feel completely comfortable and like they understand what you're looking for, well Sara-Lane and Stevie are those people!

Words cannot express how appreciative my husband and I are of Sara-Lane and Stevie. Sara-Lane kept in touch and was available whenever I needed to ask questions before the wedding. Having a married couple guide us through our portraits made posing effortless, even for my camera shy husband. Sara-Lane & Stevie were a joy to work with; they laughed with us, and by the end of the day, my mother said they were family. The shots they captured and chose are joyful, captivating & artistic. Their eye for those "picture perfect" moments is uncanny. We adore this duo!
