In the world and time we live in, unfortunately digital screens and social media take priority. I say ‘unfortunately’ because we spend less time talking to real people actually there — and I’m so guilty! It’s easy to share absolutely anything these days, and our attention has naturally gravitated towards a lit screen. This fact […]

I traveled to Wilmington on a week day to meet Lindsay + Rob at one of their favorite, most special spots. Airlie Gardens is where Rob proposed to her, and I loved exploring this new place. It’s got the Carolina charm with coastal water views and touches of ‘Greek’ architecture where the fountain, glass art, […]

I loved visiting Dallas Lavender Lane Farm again last Summer! Each June, their lavender plants bloom, and you can only imagine the amazing aroma of the place. It’s really neat that we actually have lavender farms in the Carolinas. This session was an absolute dream and So much fun! I loved working with Sydney, and […]

Have you ever seen jewelry and over the top accessories made of real flowers? Feast your eyes on these gorgeous pieces of floral art paired with unique gowns. I absolutely loved shooting this fashion editorial last Spring in North Carolina! One fast growing current trend in the wedding industry I love is that colorful, nontraditional […]

So, ‘Encanto’ has currently become my favorite modern animated Disney movie over the past year. It’s just so charming, set in colorful Colombia, beautifully animated, and all the songs are catchy hits. I immediately wanted to do a creative shoot recreating one of the characters, Isabela, with her ‘flower powers’. If you’re a fan of […]

I absolutely loved making photos with Judy and Hector!! This session was So laid back and fun. They wanted to show their Texas roots, so Hector brought his brand new prized possession, his authentic sombrero. We chose Anne Springs Greenway, specifically the Dairy Barn, as it offered the picturesque vibe they were going for. The […]

Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens quickly became one of my favorite places to visit this past year. The conservatory in particular is an amazing spot to explore with all the variety of plants. K+J are adorable together, and we had a great time during our sweet session.

What a fairytale bridal session!! To say that I loved this bridal portrait session is an understatement. Aubrey was a literal dream to work with, and I loved helping bring her vision to life. She is a ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan, a cosplay costume+accessory designer and occasional model, and a lover of vintage ‘olde […]

For years now, Glencairn Gardens in Rock Hill, SC remains to be one of my favorite sweet little locations. I found the park while I was a college student at Winthrop over a decade ago. It’s still a hidden gem, while time and time again it makes the sweetest spot for photo shoots. There is […]

Most of us really love that golden ‘glowy’ look when it comes to outdoor portraits, and for good reason! Great lighting makes for dreamier all around better photos. So, how do you make sure you get that when you schedule an outdoor photo shoot? It’s pretty simple: begin photos later in the evening as Spring […]
