Welcome to the blog

I’ve known the Blalock family for years and previously done some of their family photos here on our own farm. I was thrilled when Laura contacted me about doing family photos on their farm in Hickory in the fall after their newest addition was born. They raise commercial beef cattle along with adding Wagyu cattle […]

We shot Danielle’s bridals back in October while we still had some leaves on the trees. She loves cows so she chose to have her bridal session done on my farm. We incorporated our beef cows in the first part of her session by going down in the pasture with them. I’m not sure they […]

Keelin and Ben got married last weekend at the beautiful Amity Creek Farms in Granite Falls. The weather was hot with chances of thunderstorms though out the day. Luckily it only down-poured for a few minutes as the girls were getting ready and we still got to do their portraits outside, as well as have […]

Leigha and Evan’s mountain wedding at Sky Retreat was breath taking. The views from Sky Retreat were to die for and we had perfect weather, minus a few small rain drops! Leigha and Evan were surrounded by their closest friends and family for their mountain top wedding. When we shot their engagement session months ago […]

I can’t believe Miss Saylor is almost six months old! She is coming back to the studio in a few weeks for her six month session. She was the most beautiful newborn and look at all that hair! I love that we got to do some neutral color set ups with the white wall and […]

I met Leigha and Evan at the bottom of Grandfather Mountain for their engagement session this past fall. We had plans to shoot at two different locations along the parkway, but those plans changed pretty quick after we realized it was peek leaf season in the mountains of North Carolina when we did their engagement […]

I had so much fun exploring on the Blue Ridge Parkway with Keelin and Ben for their engagement session a few weeks ago! We started at Moses Cone Manor and ended at Rough Ridge. We did a few photos on the porch of Moses Cone Manor and then went down the path from the house […]

Easter is one of my favorite times of the year! The flowers are starting to bloom, its usually a little warmer, and everyone dresses up in their pretty Easter outfits! Studio Easter minis will be done Saturday, March 28th at my studio in Newton. The session is a 20 minute session with 10 of your […]

I met Jenni, her husband and son back in early November at the Bass Lake in Blowing Rock, NC while they were vacationing from Florida. I think we shot on one of the coldest days in November! We walked around the lake to find the perfect spots for photos. Little Logan was just the cutest […]

I’ve known the Hess’ since I was in 3rd grade! I was honored when Hannah, Jake, and Jared purchased a gift certificate for their parents as a Christmas gift last year.  I loved when the guys decided to use their bikes for some of the photos. I think they chose the perfect location for their […]
