2024:
✈️ shot in 3 countries + 6 states,
✨ realized a dream by opening @shinestudio.chs in downtown Charleston
🖤 rebranded to Sommer Media (big things are coming 👀)

…and somehow managed toddlerhood with my twin boys, personal & couple reset trips, and (pretty much) avoiding a mental/emotional breakdown 🤪

But for real? None of this was me. It was all Him.

When I finally let go and let God move— wow, does He MOVE. Every door that opened, every incredible client, every wild dream that came to life— it’s all His grace & timing.

This clip is just a glimpse of the thousands of faces and stories I had the honor to capture this year. Since 2018, I’m amazed year after year at what He makes possible.

Here’s to walking into 2025 with faith, gratitude, confidence, and excitement for what’s next. Are you ready? 🖤

Gratitude looks different for everyone, but one thing is constant: it grows when we take back our power and show up for ourselves.

@jamie_cone_’s Philly shoot was more than a branding session — it was a celebration of stepping into her strength, confidence, and unapologetic self.

Today, I’m grateful for the chance to capture moments like these — for women who are redefining success and inspiring others along the way.

What’s one thing you’re feeling thankful for today? 🖤 Share below!

There’s an energy behind every women-led business that can’t be ignored. ✨

Sommer Media isn’t just here to snap photos or videos — we’re here to capture what makes your business stand out. It’s the laughter in between takes, the energy you bring, and the story only you can tell.

Women-led businesses have a spark all their own, and I’m here to make sure that shines through— bold, bright, and undeniably you.
