With their wedding coming up this weekend, what better time than to share a few favorites from Justin + Olivia’s downtown Shelby engagement session last year! This was a pretty cold and wet morning, but these two brought such a good attitude and so much joy. Cannot wait to see these smiling faces so soon!

I imagine shooting at the Louvre in Paris to be high on a lot of photographer’s bucket lists, and I’m so thankful it was able to happen! A stroke of luck had one of my favorite hair/makeup artists in Paris at the same time as me (lookin’ at you, Cali Stott Artistry), and it was […]

Ohhhh this was such a perfect day. Not only was Jamie just one of the most wonderful brides, but the weather was great when we needed it to be! Everything went smoothly, it was full of joy, and it was the most fun vendor team. I’m forever thankful that days like this don’t actually feel […]

Photographers often say that their sessions are a dream…but in this case, it’s the absolute truth. The mountains are my absolute happiest place. So you could say I was beyond thrilled when Catherine suggested a Black Balsam Knob engagement session. I’d been there previously with my family and knew how gorgeous it was, so I […]

We are going into the archives a bit for this Lincoln Memorial Bridal Session! In April of 2022, I traveled with two wonderful industry friends to Washington DC for some creative shoots. We worked with really talented vendors to create an inspirational bridal shoot. We photographed this Lincoln Memorial bridal session in the very early […]

Austin + Brooke are truly one of the sweetest couples I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Their wedding at The Maxwell, Raleigh was reflective of that in their kindness and the kindness of their family and friends. Everything about their wedding was beautiful. We had perfect weather, it was the smoothest day, and it was […]

My happiest place is in the mountains, but I think that’s made even happier with such a fun couple in front of the camera. Austin + Brooke’s Blowing Rock engagement session was just so much fun! We met and wandered at Moses Cone Memorial Park, and the wildflowers and mountain views had me literally jumping […]

It’s always exciting to meet couples after talking on the phone, but it can always be a little nerve wracking, too. I can honestly say I didn’t feel that with Brian + Helen at all. The second I met these two, they were so kind and sweet. It truly felt like we had been friends […]
