NICE TO MEET YOU

You can typically find me at a coffee shop working on my computer; editing photos, working on my novel, or downtown Raleigh sipping on a non-alcoholic fizzy drink. I was born and raised in Raleigh and haven’t found a city I love more. But that hasn’t stopped me from traveling all over the world

When I’m not working I’m typically following THE 1975 down the east coast, attending music festivals, or browsing at the local book store.

I’m a dog mom to Vecna & Slade (who is actually a super villain and broke my leg in 3 places!
I’m got married on Halloween to a bio-chemist I met on Craiglsit (and yes it was at the height of the Craiglist Killer and no I have no idea what he does so don’t ask because I just get frazzled and say SCIENCE!)
I love thrifting, hot tea, & mocktails. I hate Kindle but I love reading. In my spare time, I am binging TV shows, listening to music way too loudly, decorating for Halloween (it’s a year round event), reading my tarot cards, and staying up all night.

 

 

THE BEST PART OF MY JOB… is YOU.

One of the best parts of my life, is walking into any function, party, or room, and hearing all my friends explain that they all know me because I captured their wedding. It’s probably the best compliment. To know that we created this trust and friendship that expands beyond an 8 hour wedding day.

Even if you don’t want to become BFF’s that’s totally okay - but just know that I’m going to take care of you like you’re a part of my inner circle. Anticipating needs, being the rock to keep the environment a chill zone, and just ensure that the only thing you have to focus on is having fun & celebrating the love between you.

 

 

“We’re awkward in
front of the camera.”

If I had a nickel for every time I heard this…. I’m here to tell you it’s just not true!
No one is awkward.

I know that it’s a lot of pressure. But I promise you, if you trust me, and lean into it moment as any other day. You’re going to do just fine.

And the way I photograph, it’s all about being in the moment. With prompts, activities, and other techniques I use to get you into the moment and out of your head, I like to tell every client to trust that I will capture the best photo of them.

If you want to watch the video to your right - it’ll show you a real session, and how I snap some of those photos you see online.
