Frank & Jessica wanted an intimate, no fuss wedding with just a few friends and a beautiful setting. That was exactly what they got and I absolutely loved being asked to photograph their Fort Fisher wedding! We couldn't have asked for a prettier backdrop for their wedding ceremony, Fort Fisher is amazing. Here are a few favorites from their wedding day. Enjoy!
Read MoreI have had a lot of interest in Fort Fisher photo sessions this year, and with good reason! Fort Fisher is such a gorgeous site for a photo shoot thanks to the beach, rocks, wooded areas, beautiful trees and so many more hidden gems which photograph so nicely. This year, I would love to offer my clients Sunset Mini Sessions at Fort Fisher on September 29, 30 and October 1.
Read MoreThrough this little camera of mine, I have been able to photograph some of the most amazing parts of my clients' lives: engagements, weddings, high school seniors, watching families grow over the years... but I do believe that maternity & the newborn sessions that follow have a BIG part of my heart! It's just a beautiful time. Katy & Peter are patiently awaiting the arrival of their first baby, a son, who is a few days past due now. We are ALL excited and I thought tonight would be the perfect time to reflect on their last photo session with baby in mom's belly. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Fort Fisher evening!
Read MoreJust LOOK at that baby face! Such a beauty! My friend, Gabrielle, has the most beautiful family so I just had to take them out to downtown Wilmington for a little family mini session followed by a birthday cupcake to celebrate Melanie's 1st birthday! Melanie and her sister, Mya, are adorable and my little girl absolutely loves them. I had a ball spending a little time with them on this morning family shoot!
Read MoreJosie, you beautiful little girl, you. If you are trying to decide whether having a baby right now is for you and are still on the fence, I'm warning you that this blog post is going to send you right over the edge into full on Baby Fever. There's just something about a newborn session in the comfort of your own home... images of your loved ones interacting with your baby, showing off those nursery details that you worked so hard on, your family in your space.

But then there's other people, and you meet them and you think 'not bad, they're okay', and then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just they turn into something so beautiful...”

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Moses! Your "Dr. Who" wedding was so fun! Thank you for letting us photograph your big day!
Read MoreI love a good botanical garden engagement shoot. I especially love a morning engagement shoot in beautiful Airlie Gardens followed with part two of their shoot at sunset on Wrightsville Beach. Yep, perfection! An engagement shoot is the perfect way to spend a little time not only celebrating and capturing your relationship as a couple, but also to really build a relationship with clients before their wedding day. Every wedding package I offer includes an engagement shoot for this very reason! Brian & Amy were so ridiculously happy and really fun to photograph, I am SO excited about their upcoming wedding in just a few weeks time.
Read MoreI tell you what, give me a downtown Wilmington early morning photo shoot with the Spine family any day! Adorable children, great parents, beautiful weather and no one out and about yet, the downtown area was basically ours for the taking. Perfect! Ashley & Joel, I loved spending time with your little family and it's such a bonus that we all happen to live in the same neighborhood with kids about the same age! Friends, Mason & Harper are about to make you say "awww" a time or two, you've been warned... ;)
Read MoreIf ever two people existed who were perfectly suited to each other, Marijayne & Barnes are those people. Their 128 South wedding in downtown Wilmington was absolutely amazing! It is such a gorgeous venue perfectly suited to their romantic, vintage literary decor. MJ was bridal perfection, Barnes has the world's best smile and their guests were F-U-N. Definitely one of my favorite weddings to date! Congratulations to the happy couple!
Read MoreThe Steele Family was due for an updated family photo shoot, seeing as our last family shoot was at Fort Fisher for Kristen's maternity photos! Time flies when you're having fun, and the next thing you know you've done Marshall's newborn shoot and over a year or so passes... Kristen and I decided to set a date and head out to Oak Island for a sunset beach session with her boys!
