Romantic Pensacola Beach Photos at Sunset | Neil + Steph  Romantic Pensacola Beach Photos at Sunset

| Neil + Steph

Without hesitation, Neil was his most natural self when he held his wife in his arms.  Steph, being the sweet, and beautiful woman that she is, settled into his embrace and couldn’t help but share a smile.  These two are their most authentic selves when they are together.  I think that’s my most favorite thing about them – they come alive with one another, and it’s the most beautiful thing!

Being from Michigan, Neil and Steph traded snow for sand to spend a weekend in Pensacola, Florida for a little work trip.  When Steph contacted me to do a couple’s session, I was instantly intrigued.  Not only did I love the idea of romantic Pensacola Beach photos at sunset, but I also loved the idea of photographing a fellow small business owner!  Steph owns a dreeeeeeamy invitation and design studio called Duffy Design Co!!  She is a talented creative, with a love for design, and such an eye for detail (annnnnd a beautiful instagram feed! Check it out, here!)!  Her husband, Neil is an incredible supporter of her creative business, but the talent in their marriage doesn’t stop with Steph!  Neil is a chemist AND a writer– pretty amazing, right?  After sharing only a few minutes with these two, I was instantly inspired by their authenticity.  Not only does it photograph beautifully, but it makes for the best conversations.  Neil shared with me that he is a Type 1 diabetic, and that his diagnosis at seventeen changed his life for the better.  Neil blogs about his story, and continues to inspire his readers with genuine insight, honesty, and a sincere love for his other half.

Steph and Neil love to travel together, and when they do, they like to treat themselves to a photo session (isn’t that so precious?!) !  Their Romantic Pensacola Beach photos at sunset will SURELY make you swoon.  Steph’s floor length, ivory lace dress was absolutely beautiful and photographed so elegantly.

Not only are they wonderful, but they photograph beautifully together too!  When I look at these two, with the sand and the waves, I honestly see the people I got to know, and as an artist, that is just the best feeling!  Steph and Neil, thank you so much for letting me capture you and all that you are!

The dreamiest details, the dreamiest memories ✨🤍 #annafillybrides #annafillyphotography
I am a momma of four little ones. Four little live I am a momma of four little ones. Four little lives look to me for comfort, direction & love. It’s the most magical calling. My days are filled with play & discovery & my nights are filled with feedings, reassurances & sleeplessness. I have struggled so much with balance in this season. Is the work/motherhood balance ever perfect ? (Asking for a friend 🙋🏻‍♀️). One thing raising four little kiddos ages 3 & under has taught me is that it all goes by waaaaay to quickly. This season won’t last forever. It won’t be long before Judah starts grade school & Lina starts to walk. Before I know it ,our foster son will be joining a sports team & our foster daughter will crawling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most meaningful moments are found in what seems to be the most mundane.  Knowing my kids, loving them & growing with them means I must forsake all else & just be with them. To me, that’s what matters most about being a mommy. Letting go of expectations, people pleasing & perfection is the key. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love this season. It’s grown me leaps & bounds. It is such an honor. It’s a joy to be called “mommy”. I have incredible women who have raised me & walked along side me throughout my life. I am so grateful for each of them & all they have taught me. I’m grateful for my foster children’s birth mom. She’s such a beautiful human ! I’m in awe of the moms that I get to do life with & they ways they love their families.  Motherhood is hard & wonderful, selfless & humbling. I have never been more grateful for this little life 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And to the women yearning to be mommas, I see you. I have been in your shoes. Your yearning is not in vain. And to the ladies broken by their lack of a mother, I love you. You are not alone 🤍
Yesterday was all kinds of wonderful. 🌸✨🌿🍾

Cait & Brad celebrated their love with their most favorite people in Richmond, Virginia. Bright colors, tender moments & JOY echoed in every detail of their wedding day. It was so much fun capturing them !!

Aren’t they cute ?!

And just like that, we became a family of six. ✨ And just like that, we became a family of six. ✨

These last two weeks have held so much for our little family. One day I will share all that has happened & I will ooo and ahh over the ways the Lord has been ever faithful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But for now, I will say this: God is gracious & kind. Our family is thrilled to welcome our foster son’s littlest sister into our home. This sweet baby was born one week ago today. I got to be in the delivery room with her momma & cheer her on as she brought this precious baby into the world. She’s so lovely. She looks just like her brother did when he was first born ! The resemblance is breathtaking. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our family is so grateful for these birth parents, for this new life & that our journey with them gets to continue. Foster care is hard, but it is beautiful. I will never stop praising Jesus for asking us to trust him in this way. It has been one of our greatest journeys.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in case you’re doing the math, we have four kids, three and under (3, 13 months, 9 months & a newborn) living under one roof 😉
When your bestie finds the love of her life, she s When your bestie finds the love of her life, she sparkles ✨🤍

Karley has been by my side for twenty years. Countless sleepovers, memories & adventures have been woven together to create our sweet friendship. She is the first to pack a bag & be on a plane before you can even ask where she’s going. She’s a snuggle bug, a deep feeler & has the most beautiful appreciation for meaningful things. I love that about her. She has a zeal for whimsy & loves to experience the fullness of life.

Then came Matthew, the kind, well grounded man who swept her off of her feet. Matthew is hospitable, thoughtful, warm & fun. He’s the first to hug you & feed you, offering you company & conversation as you sit at his table.

When Karley fell in love with Matthew, all of her friends did too because he let Karley be exactly who she was, & somehow she became better.

Their friendship has blessed Dave & I so much. I am thrilled to celebrate this season of engagement with them. Soon & very soon these two will be married. You better believe I’ll be laughing & crying that whole entire day !! #annafillybrides
