I’ve known Jay T since I was a kid because she was my uncle, aunt, and mom’s friend from work and remember her always coming over to my grandparents house as a kid. Every cookout, pool party, holiday, and birthday…. she was there! My grandma gave her plates of food and she brought the laughs […]

Tucked away in a busy city, there was a little boy named Jack, his dog, and a mom and dad. I waited patiently for Stephanie to contact me on the arrival of her new baby boy. When I got the news of his birth, we eagerly scheduled his newborn session to take place in their […]

I remember watching What to Expect When You’re Expecting a few years ago and laughing about how different two of the pregnancy experiences were. One mom, played by Elizabeth Banks, struggled with self esteem throughout the film.  She felt bloated, hot, flustered, and overall just “not pretty.”  On the other hand, another mom played by […]

This past summer my best friend came into town with the kids from Alaska!  Her husband is stationed in Anchorage so I only see her about once a year.  We spent the week running errands together, laying on the couch scrolling on our phones like we were teenagers again and had a super fun day […]

For the last few years my family spends a week in Duck, NC at the end of summer.  It consists of pool time, margaritas, beach and lots of laughs provided by my four young cousins.  They are all brothers under the age of 8 so you can imagine the chaos!!! I always do their family […]

I don’t even remember the last time I blogged… but since I will be coming up on some down time soon I figured this would be a good time to get back into it! 2018 has been a blur. Literally so much has happened that I don’t even feel like I have the same life […]

Humberto became my mom’s rescue squad partner back when I was about 9 years old. They instantly became best friends and I always thought it was impressive that he was able to handle her “hangry” spells and attitude like family! Haha! He knows her so well and when they decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend […]

So funny story, I did a model call a few years ago and somehow I got matched up with a guy and a girl who WEREN’T dating… but did the most epic couples session.  You can see it here Fast forward… and next thing I know I am shooting sessions with them as a MARRIED couple, […]

For the last few years my uncle, aunt and cousins have rented a beach house down in Duck and while I appreciate the week vacation with them… what’s even better is taking photos for such a awesome looking family! I have been able to photograph down in Outer Banks so much lately and holy moly […]

I was mentioning to my best friend who I just finished shooting on the way home from their engagement session and she remembered Sam from high school.  Her first question was, “is she still not the absolute sweetest?” Pretty sure that’s how EVERYONE thinks of her. She has such a kind and genuine spirit it’s […]
