I met Brian more than 10 years ago when his family started showing goats with my brother in 4H. I was so happy when he contacted me about shooting his and Katie’s wedding this spring at Rex Allen Events. Katie and Brian are both from the Hickory area. Katie attended college at BYU and graduated […]

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 […]

I’ve been photographing the Polt family since Lucas was born! I was so excited we got to shoot their maternity session when the stay at home order was lifted, we were afraid we weren’t going to get to do them at all! We had originally planned to do a birth session, fresh 48 session, and […]

We had the whole place to ourselves! Stephanie choose to do a […]

For Brooke and Parker’s maternity session a few weeks back I went to their home to do a lifestyle maternity session. I loved getting to do a lifestyle session in their new home! We did some photos in little Mitch’s nursery, their living room, and their bedroom! We even got the pups in for a […]

Alyssa contacted me about doing family photos when I was running my Black Friday Special before Christmas. She was so excited to have family photos done and they looked perfect for their session!  We did the session in February and the weather was perfect, it was not too cold the day we did their session.

Ive known Blake and Mary for as long as I can remember! I got to help with their wedding several years ago and was honored when they contacted me about doing newborn family photos of their new arrival! They waited to find out the gender until the baby was born and I was so happy […]

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 […]
