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 […]

Tiffani and David were married at the gorgeous Sky Retreat in Purlear, NC. The day before they had a small family ceremony in a little hidden church in Blowing Rock where the weather was perfect! Saturday the forecast was clear of rain, but when I arrived to the venue the fog started to set in! […]

Tiffani & David were married at the beautiful NC mountains at Sky Retreat in Purlear, NC. We shot Tiffani’s bridals at the beginning of June before I went on maternity leave at the Historic Murrays Mill in Catawba, NC. When she got out of the passenger seat of her Jeep in her wedding dress I […]

Stephanie and I met and became friends years ago while in school at CVCC. She contacted me months ago about photographing her and Michael’s upcoming wedding at Warehouse 18 in December. We shot their engagement session here on the farm Memorial weekend on one of the hottest days in May! Michael’s kids tagged along for […]

I have been shooting Gabe’s family since before he was born! I had the privilege of shooting his big sister’s newborn photos, family photos, Gabe’s newborn photos and multiple family sessions in between. He is always the happiest little boy and has the biggest smile on his face in almost every photo! His birthday + […]

Chalsey and Justin got married a few weeks back at the gorgeous Sapphire Hills Event Center in Conover, NC. Their wedding had to be on one of the hottest spring days in May! Everyone was so calm and cool when I arrived to start their wedding day. Chalsey has been waiting for this day all […]

Chalsey chose the gorgeous Providence Cotton Mill in Maiden, NC as the backdrop for her bridal portraits! I had been dying to do a session there and her bridals were just perfect! The weather was perfect on this Sunday afternoon! It rained a little before we got there and washed some of the nasty pollen […]

John Micol’s first birthday session with his cake smash has to be one of my favorite little boy cake smash sessions so far! We started with photos with mom and dad and then did some simple ones of John Micol by himself and then got messy! I loved his monster theme with all the bright […]

We shot baby Grant’s newborn session similar to his older brothers newborn session three years ago! We did several of the same poses and used some of the same outfits as well! I’ve know his mom’s family since I was born! I didn’t think he looked like big brother until we did some of the […]
