WHY WE SHOULD PRACTICE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED Most photographers that I know (including me) don’t have their own photos taken very often. Why is that? Shouldn’t those of us whose livelihoods revolve around photography have our own photos taken? Some of us avoid it because we feel vulnerable and uncomfortable in front of the camera…and those […]

I am so excited to be sharing my favorite photos from Haynes and Michele’s beautiful winter wedding! We started the day by getting all of the girls ready at a nearby hotel. I loved their matching robes! We headed over to Verdict Ridge Country Club, where Michele got dressed and had such sweet emotional moments […]

Brittany and Clay are one of my sweet 2017 couples! I did their engagement pictures at the end of October, and I was so happy when we scheduled a sunrise engagement session! Even though we had to be up before the sun, the pictures were so worth it!  I am thrilled to be shooting their […]

Creating this video was so heartwarming. I loved hearing about Heather and Taylor’s amazing friendship, stories about how their interest in styling began, how they want their brides to feel, and their personal reactions and relationships on each wedding day. I am so thankful that they shared so much of their hearts. Watch the video below and see for yourself how incredible these two ladies are! If you or someone you know is looking for a hair and makeup artist (not just for weddings) I think the choice is pretty clear! 🙂

I went out to some of Brynn’s family property near Rockwell, North Carolina for Brynn & Caleb’s sweet engagement session! I absolutely loved walking through the woods with them and exploring such a gorgeous area! Brynn & Caleb love each other SO much…you can see it in the way they smile so sweetly at each […]

I love doing senior portraits in downtown Kannapolis because the entire area has such a classic feel! The architecture around the downtown area and the NC Research Campus makes for beautiful backgrounds. Kacie’s senior session was in mid-October, so there was finally a little bit of a chill in the air! Sometimes it seems like it […]

I had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel through a photography class during my sophomore year of college. I always knew her as a genuine and beautiful person, so when she asked me to do her bridal portraits, naturally I said yes! Rachel is not only incredibly sweet, she is also incredibly stunning! It […]

So happy to have Bailey on the blog this morning! Our families went to the same church when we were kids, but I hadn’t seen Bailey in years. For her senior session, we explored the area around her school–just wait til you see this gorgeous field! Her school also has an agriculture program, so we got […]

I can’t believe I haven’t shared Shelby & Justin’s engagement session until now! I met up with these two in downtown Kannapolis, North Carolina, and we took photos all around downtown and the NC Research Campus. I always love shooting there because there are so many gorgeous spots around the campus! Shelby and Justin have […]

Lily’s senior session was my first time shooting in downtown Davidson or at Davidson College! I had been wanting to do some type of shoot there for so long, so when she told me that’s where she wanted to shoot, I was so excited! Downtown Davidson has so much to offer–there are so many wonderful […]
