You know how we always say we feel like part of your family? That photographing all of you is so much more than taking your pictures. It’s stepping into your lives in a very special way. We mean every single word of that in more ways than we can even express. Some people get it […]

I love, love, love doing Wake Forest Newborn Photography. Photographing newborn babies and their families on film in a lifestyle format is one of my most favorite things! There’s so much happiness and joy that surrounds new life. Yes, there’s exhaustion and emotions too, but the love that is in these homes can be felt! […]

This family holds a special place in my heart and always will. They are the reason I do what I do. The reason I’m a Raleigh film family photographer. Any time I wonder if my job matters I think about them and find purpose all over again. It all started with her sister. Years ago, […]

I’m that mom. Isla is only a few weeks away from turning two, and I’m finally sharing her cake smash from her first birthday. If I used emojis on here now would be a perfect time for a face palm one. So, I’m just going to pull out the most cliche statement ever…better late than […]

The biggest compliment is when a fellow wedding vendor asks you to photograph them. It’s so humbling, and I never take it for granted that they chose me.

This is one of my oldest and dearest friends. We go all the way back to 7th grade!! She’s one of my favorite people in the world. One of those friends you can pick back up with no matter how long it’s been, and still share your deepest secrets. The type of friend you’ll fight […]

After posting pictures of my family in the snow this week, I received several questions about how to take amazing pictures in the snow. So, I thought it’d be fun to do a little tutorial on how we took them! I know snow seems scary. Cold and wet elements aren’t always a camera’s best friend, […]

Having a baby is the most amazing, emotional, magical, beautiful thing in the world. I find the feeling hard to describe. Those of you who have kids know what I’m talking about. For me, it was two of the most special moments in my life. Ones I will never forget. But as beautiful and amazing […]

I didn’t go to the hospital to have a baby. The short version is I went into false labor at dawn on my birthday, got sent home after turning down a sleeping pill, cried, rested, had an impromptu birthday party that evening, went back to the hospital for the sleeping pill at midnight, was 6cm […]
