Olivia and Hudson originally came to me from recommendations from two of my favorite people in the industry (Aster Blooms Photography and Drew Coleman) so I knew I would be so excited to work with them. They met each other through mutual friends and honestly are two peas in a pod. They are both laid […]

I first met Cameron through her sister Reese, after doing both her senior photos at both her school and then again at Wrightsville Beach.

Coming off of the heels of a very fun 2023 recap, I am having similar hopeful feelings about my word for 2024. This post feels harder than in years past because I have taken a bit of a break to rehabilitate my relationship with goals. As a very goal-oriented person, I have always had something […]

Courtney and Auston’s wedding day was full of all of the things that make me love photographing weddings – a fun bridal party, family that makes Weston and I feel like their own, and a couple that loves each other deeply.

I love a big wedding day, full of people and energy…but I also really love an intimate wedding, where it’s simple and intentional. Sammy and Lance originally weren’t sure if they were going to have a full wedding celebration, but then, felt it on their hearts to bring their closest community together, and it was […]
