We live + breathe weddings around here, but this June we’re going back to our roots and focusing on families.  Rarely do we have time to do any special projects because life is busy, especially in the summer!  So when I looked at our summer calendar and saw some openings, I knew it was time […]

We share a best friend and her wedding is on my birthday, so before I ever met Kim I knew I’d love her… and sure enough– I do!  Kim + Brad are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e together- they’re sweet, make each other laugh, and by the end of the session I felt like we were old friends. In […]

Shades of green, Irish Jig Dancers, and a honeymoon in Ireland… Laura + Michael’s wedding day was a true reflection of who they are!  I’ve said it many times, but the number one thing that makes a wedding day wonderful is the couple being true to themselves and their love. Some of my very favorite […]

I met Dana + Dave at a park on a Saturday morning and suddenly panic started to set in.  I typically chat with my couples ahead of time and make sure we’re a good fit, but with these two, time was of the essence.  We chatted on the phone briefly Thursday night and Saturday morning […]

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 […]
