Give me White Rock Lake, a beautiful day, and an awesome couple any day!! It was such fun wedding. I’m trying to catch up on my blogs… but ya know, every photographer would love to be on top of posting blogs. Even with COVID-19 I think I’m busier than I’ve ever been. 😂🤦🏽♀️
Wow it has been a bit since I did a blog post. But now that I’m back from having a baby and now working part-time at my previous job, I have some more free time to share some of my most previous work!
Kyle and Paige’s wedding was SUCH a beautiful Texas summer wedding. These two faithfully shared the love of their Savior every step of their wedding. We endured the heat, captured the sweet moments of the day, and danced the night away!
Enjoy some of my favorite photos from the day!

Guys, I'm utterly terrible at doing blog posts. Being a full-time Designer plus doing this fun business on the side keeps me busy and you know blogging tends to be the thing that I put on the back burner.
In my feeble attempts at blogging my work, I knew I HAD to share Kayci's Darkroom session. Because well... IT. WAS. MAGICAL. I'm not joking! Photographers if you haven't visited this lovely moody venue, you need to.
Kayci is a sweet friend that I've had for years that I also have the privilege of working with. She shoots photos as well and one day I looked over at her and said, "Hey, could I do you a photoshoot for you?" And the creativity began!
Oh and did I mention her awesome pup came along? Isn't he the cutest (insert all the heart eye emojis here)! Meet Scout!!!
Can you believe that the picture below is in the BATHROOM? When the lighting is amazing, even in the bathroom, you utilize every inch of space!
Isn't Kayci stunning!!!! And who can pull off bright red lipstick like her?!
Want to go to the Darkroom and capture pictures with me?! Let me know!!!
Much love,
Brittney
This past year I have OVERLY busied myself. I struggle often with finding my worth in my work and still fight that battle, daily having to lay down my selfishness. For example, the holiday season was a running back and forth between family members, photoshoots, and my full-time job because I struggle with saying no. AND I'm the one in charge of our families calendar?!?!
Christmas day, Austin and I ended up taking a much-needed vacation with some sweet friends in Crested Butte, Colorado. I had never been to Crested Butte and I hadn’t been to Colorado since I was around the age of 10! I love nature, so all the emotions that I posses (and I possess A LOT) were on overload as we drove into this beautiful place!
I mean I was in awe! Blown away by my Creator! As we drove in and everything slowed down, I actually sat and spent long lengths of time with my Lord. Praying, reading, and simply being still for hours. Nothing making me rush to fit it in. Just simply spending as much, uninterupted time as I wanted in His word.
The God of all comfort, love, peace, and joy flooded my heart and mind that was exhausted, calloused and weary. There was a realization that I can’t do it all, nor was I meant to. There was a surrendering (and still is a day-to-day surrender) to His will and what and where He is calling me.
I got to sit and read a book, guys!!!! Like outside of my bible, I rarely read. Mainly because I busy myself to the point that doing another thing stresses me out. But I picked up a book. I picked up the book “Cultivate” by Lara Casey and wow, it was like the Lord was speaking directly to all my selfishness and tenderly saying,
I highly recommend the read so far! I’ll let you all know my final thoughts once I finish.
Alongside that growth, I learned how to ski! It. Was. Awesome. I told Austin that we need to move our log cabin back in Texas to the mountains! I mean Austin is a highly skilled skier and you know, I and my beginner self could totally make it work! ;) I’ve at least talked him into going back in the future! PRAISE! We also got to go with some dear friends, the Etters and the Nunes! And of course, when you NEVER see snow you insist on doing family photoshoots to capture these beautiful families in this beautiful place!
Friends, if you can read and remember one thing from this post, I want it to be this. Be okay with and make space for being at rest with our God. Stop. Be okay with the silence, enjoy knowing him and his word deeply, and sit and be with the Lord. I know it can be hard! I don’t like sitting and thinking over my mess. I don’t like at times what the Lord has to deal with within my heart. But let Him. Listen to Him. Delve into His word. Delight in your Savior. If your searching for understanding, peace, worth, love, you can and will find it in Jesus.
Grace and peace,
Brittney
