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!

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 […]

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?”

I always love to photograph little Rowan. This was his 6 month session, and we decided on a family-owned property near Roseboro, and it was absolutely gorgeous! There are wide hay fields all around, a small pond with a wooden dock, and large silos in the distance. I was gushing as soon as I pulled […]

Two days ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Hilary + Will, as they soon welcome their son, Caden, into this world! These two are so sweet and soft-spoken; it was a joy to see them open up a bit and have some moments to themselves in front of the camera. They were naturals! We […]

I ventured to Fayetteville yesterday to photograph this little man, Camden! I hardly ever travel to Fayetteville, so it was nice to drive a new route, so to say! Fun Fact: These newborn photographs were made RIGHT ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR. Ha! Granted, I had some pillows and blankets, but that’s where the best natural […]
