The story behind Moments With M

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Over the years, I’ve worked with some incredibly talented photographers who have mentored me and helped me hone my own vision. In the process, I’ve discovered one of my biggest joys in life: capturing special moments between loved ones. My camera roll alone is proof that I’m completely obsessed with documenting life. I’m currently sitting at 72,435 photos and paying a pretty penny for cloud storage. For me, the root of this passion is pretty simple. The older I get, the more I realize how quickly moments become memories. And at the end of the day, our memories are perhaps the most valuable thing we have. I started Moments With M with a desire to preserve as many memories for as many people as possible. And let me tell you, it’s an absolute gift. Community and togetherness are everything to me. When you book Moments With M, you’re sharing in my commitment to document precious moments with family, with your lover, with your friends… with your favorite people.

my purpose for preserving

precious memories

The photo albums lining my family’s shelves are some of the most sacred things in my life. Looking through them tugs on my heartstrings. Seeing these special phases of life is something I’ll never take for granted. Every wedding photo, birth announcement, and mundane moment forms a deeper picture of the people I love most. These photos spur stories told by my grandparents, piece together the timeline of our family history, and represent the love that we share today. They’re transportive and so, so meaningful.

I truly believe it's my God-given purpose to create these same memories for others. The photos I capture today will be held dear for decades to come, admired by your children and your children’s children. These photos will come to feel like home, like warmth and nostalgia, and like a season of life that you never want to forget. Building upon your family's legacy takes intention. Documenting and archiving your journey is a beautiful way to start.

I'M SO GRATEFUL YOU'RE HERE

It’s not lost on me that the photos I take are something you will treasure for years to come. I hope they find their way into your most precious photo albums and story-rich gallery walls. And I hope the joy you feel leaving your session seeps into the big and small moments lying ahead. I’m honored to have your trust. That’s why I approach every session, every detail, every frame with gratitude and intention.

So many things light me up, but they all entail being with my favorite people in my favorite places. Swimming in the Gulf, the way the sun makes the water sparkle, watching my dad surf. Family dinners or Waffle House for special occasions, my childhood best friends, belly laughs, iced honey lattes. When people collectively stop to watch the sunset, cheering on the Cubs, golfing with Nate. All the good stuff.

WHAT'S MAKING ME SMILE

the center of my world

My favorite things to talk about. Nathan and I met through the golf team at the University of Southern Mississippi. He instantly felt like an answered prayer and the greatest gift. We’re still just kids at heart (randomly turning our living room into a knee hockey arena), and our golden Crouton (Crew for short) keeps us laughing. He's our pride, joy, and 90-pound freight train of love. I thank God every day for our little family and the love-, coffee-, and Italian ice-filled life we’re building together in Inlet Beach.
