When I first started in photography, I had no idea the people it would bring into my life. And more so the people it would bring BACK into my life. Allison(well she was Allie to me!) was one of my best friends in 6th grade. There were six of us who hung out together. I […]

It’s been cold this winter. Not that that is saying much coming from a girl who considers 55* weather for long socks and layers. But it’s been cold enough that my child who loves being outside doesn’t want to go out. So that is saying a lot for a boy who wakes up asking to […]

So my new year’s resolution was to take more personal photos and at the end of the year to create a family yearbook! I’ll let you now how it goes but so far we are off to a great start! Obviously this will likely be the MOST eventful month of our year since it was […]

So I had every intention of blogging this BEFORE he got here but I didn’t. FAIL. Now here he sits, one week old and I can give you a peek at the finished nursery. Which truth be told is not done because I still haven’t figured out how I want to hang those diapering baskets. […]

It’s funny with Facebook you get the chance to watch your friends from high school go out and have families of their own like nearly ten years hasn’t already gone by! Levin and I knew each other all through high school! There were plenty of laughs shared over Hickory High lunch tables. It was awesome […]

Do you remember this session from the end of September? Well today I got to be there when it was revealed just who would make sweet Noah a big brother in the Spring of 2014!! Josh and Gemma gathered their close friends and family to find out all at once who baby was. Including Gemma’s […]

As photographers we start to really favor places to shoot, East Beach is no exception for me! It is gorgeous, calm, relatively empty, and provides that perfect East Coast dune grass look I love! Not to mention, the whole neighborhood is so idyllic so I absolutely love when I get to introduce the area to […]

My sweet dude, Two years ago you made such a quick entrance into this world, I am quite certain the ink never dried on my intake paperwork. Since that moment you have shown your daddy and I what it is to love outside yourself. To want something for another human being more than we would […]
