"I cannot say enough good things about A.J. She has captured some of the biggest milestones for my family. Her attention to detail, patience, kindness, and ability to capture the perfect shot are second to none. From the moment you first meet her you know you are in good hands"

All sessions are individually tailored to your needs and are always a fun & relaxed time! I'll pull out all my special tricks to keep your kids happy and engaged.

Kind Words
"A.J. has been there through all of our biggest milestones, starting with our engagement photos and wedding photos in 2013. Since then, we have had countless Raleigh family photographer & Raleigh newborn photographer sessions with her, along with newborn photo shoots for 4 of our babies.
What I love most about all of the photos A.J. is her photos aren’t forced or over staged. Her photography approach is natural and authentic. Whenever I look back at the thousands of pictures she has taken for us, I am immediately taken back to those specific moments in time. After each photo session, I always tell A..J that I need to build a bigger house because all of the photos always turn out so beautifully that I end up framing so many of them and I am now running out of wall space! We are so grateful for all of the priceless photos A.J. has taken of our family over the years and look forward to many more in the future!"

"We had the best time with AJ from planning our session all the way to receiving our photos. We ended up doing our shoot at 7:30am which sounded crazy at the time but was absolutely the best time of the day to get my kids to be the best versions of themselves (happy, clean, and fully awake) with little impact to our day. We can’t wait to do it again!"

"A.J. was a true gift for our Raleigh newborn photography. A.J. not only delivers beautiful images but she brings a calming presence to the session. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera but he always comments on how relaxed she made us feel and captured the sweetest moments. He recommends her to all of our friends. We can't say enough great things about A.J. (and her family photographer, Carter, to capture as the little one grows). She will always be our newborn photographer and friend!"

"A.J. photographed our wedding 10 years ago so we already knew that we loved her, but we had no idea she was so amazing with the kids! They had FUN during the session and she captured their genuine smiles. I will always look at these photos and see my babies exactly as they are at this perfect stage. Thank you AJ for these special photos that I will always cherish."
