Emily and Ryan are simply the sweetest. After their Charlotte engagement session, I couldn’t wait to see them again for their gorgeous mauve fall wedding day at Separk Mansion. Being in their presence is a breath of fresh air. I can’t get over how much they trusted me and were just relaxed on their big […]

Now that McKenzie is a married woman, I can finally share her beautiful Ritchie Hill bridal portraits. I absolutely love shooting bridal portraits!!!

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 […]

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! 🙂
