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 […]

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 […]

It’s not very often that I get to photograph senior guys, so it’s nice to have that opportunity every once in a while! I have known Stephen and his family for what feels like forever, so for Stephen to be a senior at Concord High School this year feels crazy! We went out to The […]

I absolutely love what I do and I know I chose the right major from the start. However, what I’ve been running into is that this industry can and will turn me into something that I’m not if I am not careful. It can turn me into someone that craves attention, popularity, and material things, and I know that is not who I am called to be. Honestly, just about any industry can manipulate you if you aren’t strong enough to say “That’s not who I am.” 

Bridal Portraits. It’s a Southern tradition. I love seeing a bride dressed up on her wedding day, looking in the mirror before going down the aisle and knowing how truly beautiful she is. She has chosen the perfect dress and glittering jewelry, her best friends and family members are surrounding her, and her groom is […]

I woke up on a Tuesday morning in mid-July so excited for Rylee’s Senior Session. We went out to The Orchard House, which will soon be a wedding venue, for her session. Everything about The Orchard House is adorable. There are pretty woodsy areas, a cute little garden, beautiful paths, and little buildings on the […]
