YOUR storY from start to finish
The Danner Family
The Kennedy Family
The Brown Family
Asheville, NC The mountains were calling us
The Brown FAmily
The Brown family is by far one of my favorite families to photograph. I originally met Samantha when she booked a session, having seen my photos through the sacred group that I hold dear to my heart .... online bst. After that first meeting, the stars aligned, and we've been besties ever since. Rarely a day goes by when we don't chat. I love this family, and their Samantha's similar passions and loves for all things photography, pretty dresses, and all the matching accessories to make life complete. If you haven't noticed yet.....you'll see a lot of these guys around this page.
Dogwood Farms
The Kennedy family
I had such a beautiful session with this gorgeous family in the wildflowers of Dogwood Farms. Have I ever mentioned how much I love this state we live in? The array of stunning settings is unbelievable!
Falls Lake, Durham, NC
The Danner Family
This sweet family has helped me to create two of my favorite family sessions ever! How could they not create magic with these adorable children, and this kind momma and daddy. They seriously have some sort of powers to make the most stunning portraits I have ever seen!
Durham, NC
The Roman Family
The Roman family contacted me for family photos while their entire family was in town for the holidays. I have to say, this is my very favorite extended family session to date!
Falls Lake Winter Session
The Yunker Family
I can't be sure if the magic of these sessions is directly from this family (which would be my first guess), or if it's from the location. We had so much fun dancing and giggling the evening away.
NCMA Park Setting
The carpenter Family
This family is my very own....My sister and her family. We do their photos every year, and every year I love them more. We're making a tour of all of my favorite locations and making memories. this session happen to fall on the ONLY cold day we've had yet this year. While Colleen and John are from snow country in upstate/ wester NY, Elyn and Nolan are born and raised southern kids. This cold did not suite them.....You'd never know from how pretty they turned out.
NC Wildflower Fields
The Johnson Family
Look at how beautiful and perfect this family is. We truly had so. much fun playing during their session. We even gained a new "family member" that you might see peek through big sister's hands every so often. Sis was a pro at grasshopper wrangling, and thank goodness. The session started off with a little grumpiness (which happens every no and again). Once we started catching grasshoppers, all was good, and the session was a hug success!
WRAL Azalea Gardens....with hydrangeas in bloom
The Webber Family
These guys are new to town and needed a photographer to capture their little one's birthday photos, and the early days of their pregnancy. Isn't she just glowing by the way? Well the session was a success.....even with a toddler who doesn't love the camera. I can't wait to watch this sweet family grow over the years.
Summer time at falls lake
The Almeida Family
The sweet and beautiful Almeida family came to me for the second time, and I can say, they just keep on getting more and more beautiful every time that I see them! I love so much growing with my families and having the honor of capturing their memories of all that lies in front of my lens.

I want to share your moments, your memories, your love for your babies. I want to capture every little snuggle, all the cuddles and hugs, the laughs and the giggles.

I know how you crave for that from me. You need that from what I can give to you. There are so few things in life that will hold the value of a photograph. A moment frozen in time. A perfect memory, otherwise gone. Let's do this together.....

Enjoy your family, allow me to lead you in all the things to make you look your best. And you just come along for the ride. The more fun we have, the more it shows in your gallery. We'll laugh and act silly, play games and wish we had a behind the scenes shot to capture the antics we are up to.
