Karl (the groom) and I have a friendship that dates back to early elementary days. I’ve spent my fair share of time at his house growing up – swimming, camping, playing random games, and all kinds of other things. Karl, his brother and I were quite the rambunctious trio back in the day! So, when Karl […]

Let’s talk about one of THE hardest things I’ve ever had to do: keeping Brian and Jill’s surprise wedding a secret, for MONTHS! From the moment Jill first contacted me, I’ve been looking forward to today – the day her and Brian would completely surprise their closest friends and family with a surprise wedding!  Let’s […]

The Elliots are some of the most fun, outgoing people you’ll ever meet! I first met Jenny (mom) at a wedding show this winter and was blown away by her floral designs. (Jenny’s Projects) We were lucky enough to have had our booths set up side by side, so we quickly became friends. Before long […]

I am fully convinced that I have THE best couples anyone could ever hope to work with. From the moment Jill & Brian walked into my studio to begin planning their engagement session, I knew we were going to create beautiful images together… And the finished product is exactly what we had in mind!

Kimberly and Ryan were home for the holidays from Washington DC and we were able to get together and capture their sweet engagement! Through the cold and the wind these two braved the elements and let their love shine. We had a great time together and we’re looking forward to a fun-filled day (AND some […]

This family was a riot! From the moment they stepped out of their SUV I could tell that this family was “my kind” of group. They all jumped out of the car ready to have fun with their session! I adore when families decide that they’re simply going to be themselves and act like they […]

On November 23, 2014 it was overcast and raining in Raleigh, NC – but Hannah and Ben were getting married and there was no amount of inclement weather that could stifle the excitement. The couple had booked one of the coolest venues in downtown Raleigh for their big day – The Stockroom at 230! It’s a […]

Hannah made such a beautiful bride and it was my privilege to photograph her. Just a few weeks before her wedding we went to Old Salem, NC to create portraits that were classy and elegant. Hannah grew up around Old Salem and thought it would be the perfect location – and it was! Even though […]
