Amberly and Brandon are one of those forever couples that you just know are meant to be. Their southern magnolia wedding at Wilkins Farm in Coats, North Carolina was pure southern fairytale perfection. These two met when they were just kids at church and grew up together. They grew together as a couple and the […]

This sun filled Carolina Engagement Session has been one of my favorite engagement sessions this year! Paige and Griffin are such the fun couple! These two met while enjoying some great music, and the rest was history. For their session, we headed to Paige’s family home and soaked up some amazing sunshine and gorgeous farmland […]

Springtime is always my favorite season. Everything starts to bloom and awaken from the slow quietness of winter. Blooms come and say hello and make all my photographer dreams come true. And, I’m so happy to share this gorgeous springtime in Downtown Wilmington session with you! Our sweet friends Hannah and Lee joined us for […]

Meredith and Zach joined me for the most gorgeous golden spring engagement session. We ventured to Keith Hills Golf Course for their spring session near Meredith’s family home.

Their wedding date was postponed and they decided to plan the most gorgeous Bluffton intimate wedding at Patrick’s parents’ home.

Victoria and her sweet boys joined me for a morning lakeside motherhood session. I was SO happy that they had a morning full of play. One thing I love about Motherhood Sessions is the chance to photograph mamas and their babies doing what they do naturally– playing, exploring, laughing, snuggling, being a family. Zion and […]

There is no greater love I know than that of a mama’s love for her little. I introduced motherhood portraits a few ago, and these photographs are quickly becoming close to my heart. Life is a story compiled of thousands of tiny moments. these tiny moments are fleeting. We can’t hold on to them and […]

And, the best part? Puppies! Jenny and Danny had recently eloped at Middleton Plantation in Charleston. They wanted their […]
