Cass & I go waaaaaay back! The younger sister I once knew is all grown up, with a husband and three beautiful children, so amazing! Thank you so much for inviting me to Oak Island for this beach family session, complete with your very own perfectly timed rainbow ;)
Read MoreThe Richardson family and I first met last summer when all of the kids were in town visiting their folks at St. James. This summer, they opted for a sunset shoot on Oak Island which yielded such gorgeous, warm light that was just perfect for their shoot! It was great to see all of you again, thank you!
Read MoreOne of the best things about being able to take family photos is watching a family grow and change over the years. The Yarter family, as a big group, has been in front of my lens on multiple occasions and I was so thrilled to be asked to photograph them again this summer at their go to vacation spot: Myrtle Beach, SC.
Read More50 years of marriage... it's an incredible feat, don't you agree? Fifty years of life changes, ups, downs, babies, careers, loss, adventure. To be chosen to photograph a celebration like a 50th anniversary, to be able to witness a love that is still so apparent between Pat & Frank Grecco at their beautiful St. James event, was an honor. Their wedding song was "Moon River" and I definitely recommend playing the audio file while scrolling through some of my favorites from their big day!
Read MoreKeally & Chris, thank you so much for welcoming me back to your neck of the woods to photograph the beginning of this next great chapter in your lives. That Hope Mills sunflower field was perfect for your maternity shoot! I loved it, you're going to rock as parents and I CANNOT WAIT to meet your son in just a few more weeks! So happy for you three!
Read MoreBarnes has a way of making MJ's whole face just light up starting with her beautiful smile. They are funny, playful and so at ease with one another and to be around them is to truly know what it means to find your "other half". They are meant to be! This downtown Wilmington engagement session was absolutely perfect and I for one, am counting down until their big day!
Read MoreTo say that I am ridiculously excited every time my friend, Aftyn, invites me to photograph her family would be a complete understatement! Eric & Aftyn's children, Roman & Clair are so absolutely adorable, I cannot even take it. And they won the gene pool lottery when it comes to beautiful, long lashes! Divenanzos, thank you for hopping on board for a beach mini session at Holden Beach, I had a blast!
Read MoreTwice a year, I offer mini sessions to accommodate those of you who may have smaller children with equally small attention spans, or families who may only need a handful of images to update throughout the year before committing to a full session later on. This year, I have beach minis ongoing until July 22nd, and Amy & Nathanael jumped at the chance to show their cute little boy, Logan, the beach for the very first time at Holden Beach!
Read MoreBeing nontraditional in the best sort of way, Erica and I collaborated on the idea of a styled wedding session BEFORE their big day, which I absolutely loved working on! The new-bohemian-with-a-60's-twist details came out better than I could have imagined. Can I just say that I am a wee bit obsessed with sunset at Fort Fisher, absolutely BREATHTAKING! Thank you so much for going with the flow and trusting the vision for this shoot. I am so thrilled with how the images showcase how beautiful your love is, congratulations!!!
Read MoreI spent the better part of a year exploring my options as far as products and professional photography labs went to see what was a good fit for the type of items I wanted my clients to be able to call their own. Now, I hand deliver prints, albums, books, canvases and get the added bonus of watching you see that favorite moment in print! I will never go back to just uploading a file and calling it a day, printing your images is entirely too important in the long run. These are the moments your family will look back on, the albums they will flip through with their own children. Here are a few featured items that we now offer our clients!
