Simple, boy-ish birthday portraits in the woods? Yes, please! Anderson rocked his Two Year session. He was so sweet and shy, but I enjoyed letting him wander around the woods, capturing smiles whenever I could. & look at those adorable curls! Keep scrolling to see Anderson’s “creepy mouse.” Here comes the creepy mouse! & you […]

It was so great meeting Katie and Storm at their engagement session at Surf City, NC. Doesn’t it look like the whole beach was empty just for them? I’ll leave you to wonder… These two were shy at first, but I loved watching as they leaned into one another and just enjoyed themselves! I cannot […]

Hannah and Blake had the most dreamy, sunset engagement session out in the country! I love when my wedding couples take advantage of their complimentary engagement session because it’s a great time for us to get to know each other and shake the nerves of being in front of my camera. I don’t think these […]

Katie and Jacob were so sweet to photograph! You can’t even tell that they were nervous in front of the camera (hehe). One thing I love to admire is how my couples just click together. Even if they’re nervous, they lean into each other and laugh through it, and it’s the most adorable thing ever!

I’m so excited to finally share these on the blog! Katie, you were absolutely stunning, and these will forever be some of my favorite bridals. If you’re looking a wedding venue in Dunn, NC… the Howard House is elegant and timeless!

This was one of my first weddings at the Barn at Broadslab in Benson, NC. Now, it’s become one of my most frequented venues for weddings! Haley & Brandon’s wedding day was absolutely precious, from beginning to end. Their love for one another was genuinely felt, and their family and friends’ eyes just seemed to […]

I am absolutely in love with this maternity session, and I’m still gushing over the location! This was actually another client’s relative’s home where I’d shot a previous family session, so I asked if we could revisit because I knew it would be perfect for Caitlin and Eli. I’m so happy they let us use […]

“Six. Because Five is so last year!” I giggled so much at Piper’s sixth birthday session. We stopped on the side of the road in Lillington, NC and snagged these gorgeously green wheat field pictures, then headed downtown for some spunky outfit shots!

One thing Collier enjoys is golfing with Daddy, so it was only right to celebrate on the green with his clubs, take a ride on the golf cart, and head back home for a delicious golf cake. He definitely enjoyed it, and we enjoyed watching him tear into it. It’s safe to say this session was extra sweet!

These two littles are Ira-Grace and Lillian, and it was a joy to capture them at six months. You may or may not know that I have two little boy twins, so this session was easy to relate to – but not only relate, absolutely admire! My life forever changed with Judah and Joseph, and […]

Seems like just yesterday when we made Charli’s newborn session, and here I am posting her three months. Time just flies! Even with my four little ones. It’s unbelievable! That’s why these milestone sessions are so precious. And I love how these are made in the comfort of the home, especially in these cold winter months! She did so well.

Christmas Minis have come and gone, again! I’m so thankful for another wonderful year, and grateful for every family that continues to come out and support me. I always enjoy seeing your children one year older, or meeting a little one for the first time! These would not be possible without my husband and mom. […]

Oh, Haddie! What a beautiful testimony to God’s faithfulness you are. After seven years of trying for a child, but experiencing lots of heartache, God’s promise to Rachel and Casey was finally fulfilled. Haddie is their “BEAUTIFUL JOY” born for such a time as this! Amen!

Another Charlotte ‘Charli’ James is appearing on my blog, and within a month of each other.. how bizarre! I never thought I’d become a newborn photographer, but here I am enjoying visits to newborns’s nurseries and loving all things baby. It’s one of my favorite kind of shoots! Enjoy some of my favorites from little […]

I yelled out “HEY, YOU, with the mullet!!” He automatically looked at me, grinned, and pointed in my direction… and we all died laughing. Best wedding memory ever. I did not meet Karsyn at their wedding, but after she contacted me and shared that she was “mullet man’s” fiance, I was so thrilled to become their photographer! HA! We obviously had lots of laughs at their engagement session, and I can’t wait for their wedding day! Enjoy these favorites of mine.

What a fun-filled afternoon spent with the future Brinkley’s! The love between these two was evident, and they kept me giggling the entire time. These photographs were made at their upcoming wedding site at The Powell Home and Barn at Comeback Farms in Warsaw, NC. It was absolutely stunning out there! I am completely in […]

These two beautiful humans are some of our greatest friends, and I’m sooo honored to have photographed this amazing day for them! This was the best “backyard” wedding ever. I told Lindsay, “this was better than a $10,000+ wedding!” Travis and Lindsay were surrounded by their families and close friends, and every moment throughout the […]

It was a pleasure meeting Rachel and Casey for this maternity session last month. I have actually photographed Rachel’s sister multiple times, so it was nice to meet a new but familiar face! These portraits were made in Falcon, NC and the location had so much to offer us. I’m getting all of the fall […]

  Look at this beautiful girl! Charlotte (Charli) James, we’re so glad you’re here.If you’ve followed my blog for the last couple of years, then you’ve surely seen this sweet family pop up a few times. I’m honored to be their photographer, and to capture these growing memories with the Hudson’s! Charli slept like a […]

  Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Matthew Spell!What a blast this wedding day was! I literally had so much fun. Stevi and Matthew had a great group of friends, and wonderful vendors to work with! These two were celebrated with such love, and it was an honor to document this day for them. […]

It’s always a pleasure to photograph this sweet family, and this time with a little bump! This home-location maternity session turned out so beautifully. Charlotte (Charli) James Hudson will make her debut this September, and Weston is very excited to become a big brother. We always do a little bit of everything when we come […]

It was such a joy to photograph Stevi’s bridal portraits on her grandparent’s front porch in Benson, NC. This location makes for such stunning portraits! Of course, beautiful Stevi made it so easy, too! I’m so excited to share with you some of my favorite shots from the day. Stevi and Matthew’s engagement session was […]

I am in love with the locations we visited for this senior session, and Taylor was an absolute natural! Funny story: I was asking my husband earlier that week for an idea of location for this shoot, and he told me I should visit the “colorful umbrella mural in Erwin.” I had no clue what […]

What a beautiful June wedding in Benson, NC at The Water’s Edge at Tart Farms! Congratulations Ashley and Kessler. I was so honored to capture this day for you two. Cheers to a lifetime of bliss!

This session with handsome Collier Grant was so fun! I was instantly in love with his nursery and all the baby blues. Animals and golf (even animals playing golf) decorated his room! The Eason’s live within Keith Hills golf course, so I’m thinking GOLF is in his near future. Ha! This two months session taught […]

He thought all of my romantic poses were silly, but he hilariously played along, and we think it all turned out beautifully! He would be upset with me if I did not mention his baby girl in this post… and I’m not referring to Stevi… I’m talking about Loretta, the pup wearing the hot pink collar that reads “Will you marry Daddy?”

Oh, how I love the Water’s Edge at Tart Farms. It is absolutely gorgeous at this venue and on the lawn! Ashley rocked her bridal session, even though it was terribly windy and bright. She looked absolutely stunning!

This engagement session was the stuff dreams are made of! I love all of my engagement sessions – because I adore all of my couples! – but this one is definitely going down in history as one of my absolute favorites! I was a bit worried upon arrival because it was a private-home location that […]

My first-ever styled wedding shoot at Water Edge’s at Tart Farms in Benson, NC! I was so honored to have been asked to photograph this event with an awesome team of creatives and vendors, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Chesnea was gorgeous… Jackson was handsome! They had NEVER met before – […]

Everleigh Rose is here! Remember that gorgeous maternity session with Cara on the beach at Fort Fisher!? YEA, this is THAT baby!! I’m sooo honored to have been asked to photograph this family as much as I have! I’ve truly enjoyed watching their little family grow, and their sessions always turn out so beautiful. It […]
