When this sweet family asked me to do their family photos with their newest addition, I was over the moon excited! Especially since I had previously done their maternity photos. We shot at Duke Gardens and it was just gorgeous out! We got so lucky that everything was in bloom! I’m so glad I’m able […]
When Megan told me she wanted last-minute bridal portraits, I was so so excited! Bridals are some of the most fun (and easy!) portraits to do! I always try and get a few on the wedding day, but having an entire session dedicated to them always makes it more fun! We were able to walk […]
I love love love this wedding! It had everything, beautiful light, amazing views, and the most friendly couple! Shooting destination weddings has become something I continue to love every year (and if you’d like to inquire just click here to get started).

Another super fun NC State senior session for the books! I don’t often get to do guys senior photos, so I was pretty excited! Joey was an absolute champ (and we moved so so fast which was crazy!) We roamed all over NC State’s campus going to his favorite spots to get senior photos. Joey’s […]
About a month ago Lauren reached out to me and told me she wanted backyard wedding portraits after she eloped on the Appalachian Trail. I was 100% on board right away! After a bit of planning, she decided she wanted to take photos in the field behind their home in Charlotte NC. Lauren told me […]
Aka: Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about hiring a photo editor Here’s the thing, I know it can be hard to let go of control as photographers, but there’s a good reason to get an editor. You can have more free time, you can deliver galleries faster and you can feel less stressed! But […]
