I can’t find the words this Memorial Day. Back home the men in my family would go to the cemetery and decorate the graves of our brave veterans.  Watching them leave, crammed in a truck with hundreds of little American flags was an important part of my childhood- a great reminder of the reason why […]

This wedding holds a very special place in my heart… my brother is the groom!  We traveled back to Waynesville, NC where I grew up to photograph & film Joey + Judy’s wedding.  Judy dreamed of a beautiful barn wedding with rustic details, and found the perfect venue for it!  There were many special details about […]

Hey friends!  Most of the questions we get asked are all related to starting a business!  It honestly makes me so happy because the fact that we get questions about business makes me feel that others recognize how much hard work we put into the business side of things. Let’s jump right in.  Should you start a […]

Comparison is a thief.  It steals things from you.  Time, joy, excitement, friendships, self worth, and the list goes on.  Let me tell you a little thing about comparison: It’s never what it seems.  Let’s take this picture below: This kid is beautiful.  She’s mine.  I love her to death, and so does every person that […]

We get asked about newborn photography a lot… and the answer is, yes!  We absolutely do newborn photography and love it!  The thing is, there are two very different main styles of newborn photography: posed & lifestyle.  While we’ve done posed in the past and loved the results, our hearts just aren’t in it enough […]

A few times a year we get to travel back to the mountains of North Carolina to visit family (and photograph/film weddings!).  We were both raised there and only moved away 7 years ago so it has a very special place in our hearts.  Taking our daughter, Hazel, back brings out all sorts of memories!  My family […]

Today is our 9th anniversary.  Nine years of marriage!  It makes me teary eyed to think about where we started and how far we’ve come.  So today we put together 9 things we truly love about our marriage (and each other).  These are what make us who we are, and I just love that!  We certainly […]

Sarah + Ryan live in Raleigh, NC and were so sweet to come all the way to Hampton for their engagement session!  After rescheduling twice for rain, we finally got a beautiful evening on the beach for their session.  I can’t wait for their Outer Banks wedding in Spring 2016! We met at Buckroe Beach on […]

We chose Colonial Williamsburg because that’s where Eric proposed– right in the community garden next to the kale!  Leigh + Eric laughed with each other their entire engagement session!  It was perfect and so wonderful.  Enjoy their session!!

We’re changing up the blog a little bit today!  Josh wrote a really awesome heartfelt post about moms for this special day! —– What can be said about the moms of the world that hasn’t already been said? I can’t think of much. There’s hardly a post I’ve read as of recent that captures the […]
