I will never forget the moment I watched my first baby nephews, Mason and Jensen, come into this world. It’s one of my top favorite memories of all time and for the first time ever, I understood the excitement of bringing a new baby into this world. I’ll be the first to admit that I […]

Uptown Charlotte is gorgeous in all of its glory, but let me tell you, it’s got nothing on these two. Amelia and I met on Instagram when I was hardcore stalking the Charlotte ballet and the company when I needed a ballerina for my ballet inspired editorial shoot! After I messaged her asking if she’d […]

Christen and Christian’s wedding day at the Fillmore in Charlotte was one. for. the. books!!! These two are from the same hometown in Fort Mill, South Carolina and grew up together as friends.

(I know, best birthday gift EVER!).   This shoot was near and dear to my heart for several reasons. First, because the idea sprouted out of a […]

This in-home family session in Charlotte has to come in as one of my all-time favorites! I don’t have kids of my own and I can’t imagine what it feels like to be a parent. But, I have to think, if it was ever portrayed in photographs, it would be present in these. This sweet […]

Sarah and Nick’s wedding at The Virginian Hotel in downtown Lynchburg was nothing short of spectacular! With a dream team of vendors that made their wedding day come to life, their day couldn’t have better represented the people that these two are together and the love that they share!
