If you've wondered where I've been lately, well… life has definitely been keeping me on my toes! ❤️

I haven't officially talked about it on my business page, so I figured I would give a quick update. Between countless medical appointments and three surgeries in the last 12 months, most recently a double mastectomy, it's been quite the year, to say the least!

Through it all, I've been reminded just how incredibly blessed I am to have such amazing people in my corner. My incredible husband, my mom, my girls, our family, church family, and friends have helped me hold down the fort. Also, my wonderful clients who knew what I was going through have shown me so much love, patience, and understanding. I truly can't thank you all enough!

But I especially want to give a HUGE shoutout to two incredible ladies who have helped keep my photography business going when I physically couldn't be behind the camera myself.

My wonderful associate shooter, Elizabeth Barrett Moore, who has SO much on her plate juggling four kiddos, a full-time job, and her husband recently being deployed, but has still made time to step in and cover family sessions for me.

Kayla Shope Norfleet who, despite running her own very successful photography business and being busy with her two sweet girls -- she has somehow managed to find the time to step in and photograph some really important commercial and family sessions for me.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE what I do, so not being able to photograph my own sessions has honestly been one of the hardest parts of all of this. But knowing I have two incredibly talented photographers I trust wholeheartedly to take care of my clients and create beautiful images has been such a blessing.

You two have your own busy lives and SO much going on, yet you still showed up for me when I needed you. And that means more than you'll ever know.

THANK YOU both for helping me keep doing what I love, even when I couldn't be the one behind the camera. I am forever grateful! ❤️

I was able to snag one of the last openings for the Fair Weather Farms Christmas Greenhouse on 12/12! I don't usually like shooting so close to Christmas BUT I have been obsessed with this cozy scene since they posted it!!

The one thing I do love about shooting so close to Christmas though, is the TRUE Christmas season vibes!!

🎼August slipped away into a moment of time.... How is it already September? You'll still find me here, sharing lots of OBX summer moments...
I know I say this a bunch, BUT those shots "between the shots" are always my absolute favorite!!
For us, family shoots mean talking about lots of silly things and playing some games so it doesn't feel like work or "portrait torture"😅 for the kiddos!
The best part, you can totally hear those belly laughs through these images, years after these moments have passed 😍

Back to school 2026 🥹📚✏️
I swear I blinked, and these two got SO tall, just in the last 12 months. Aubrey is officially looking way too grown (and officially 3 inches taller than me -- at 12 years old), and Emily is still keeping us all laughing and on our toes. 😂❤️
Of course, this photographer mama had to sneak in a few back-to-school pictures before sending them off. 📸
Here’s to a great school year for all our local schools ❤️

🌊 OBX weather (and especially the wind 😂) can have a mind of its own. Even on a beautiful, calm evening, there’s almost always a breeze once you cross those dunes.
One of my favorite little professional tricks on windier days? We’ll spend the first 10 minutes photographing on the sandy, greenery-lined walkways before heading onto the beach. You get a few photos without the wind-blown hair, AND it adds another beautiful scene to your gallery. 🙌🏼
I absolutely LOVE galleries with a little variety — and those soft greens + sandy paths always make for such pretty images before we hit the ocean side. 🌿🌊

Getting to photograph Rachel with her three sweet boys while her husband Andrew is deployed was such a privilege. She is an incredible mom, a fighter, a survivor, an advocate, and truly a force of nature. I look up to this lady more than she knows. ❤️
Some people come into your life in the most unexpected ways… and I’m so thankful Rachel is one of those people.❤️
A little backstory: Rachel and I actually met because Facebook suggested we become friends after realizing we were both in a nationwide BRCA+ group AND somehow lived in the same town. 😂 We met for coffee, connected over all things BRCA and cancer, and she has truly helped me more than she probably realizes. Rachel is a triple-negative breast cancer survivor diagnosed in 2022 at only 30 years old with two little boys. Rachel has been through biopsies, surgeries, a double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, reconstruction, and SO much more. Watching her story and talking with someone who had actually lived through some of the decisions I have been facing helped give me the courage to keep pushing, asking questions, and advocating for myself. She has been through so much more than I have been, and she is truly my hero.
And through ALL of that, she’s also an incredible military wife and mama, holding down the fort with her boys while her husband Andrew is deployed overseas for months at a time. In November 2025, their story got the sweetest new chapter when they welcomed baby boy #3. 🥹💙 It has been amazing to watch God truly working in Rachel's life.

🎗️✨ Sneak Peek | The Null Family ✨🎗️

Some sessions stay with you long after you pack up your camera... this was one of them. 🤍

This is beautiful Madi. She was diagnosed with Stage 3C ovarian cancer in 2024 at just 16 years old. She's now bravely facing a recurrence, and if you spend even five minutes with her, you'll see exactly what strength looks like. She has the biggest heart, the sweetest smile, and a family that fights right beside her every single day. 💛🎗️

This session was an incredible gift from their sweet friend, Tiffany. What a beautiful way to love on a family. Thank you for trusting me with these memories. 🤍

The best part? For this little bit of time, there was no talking about treatments, appointments, or cancer. We laughed. She twirled. We joked. They just enjoyed being together as a family. And that's exactly what I wanted for them. 🥹✨

I'll be honest... I had tears the whole drive home. Cancer has been a big part of my family's story as well, and it's awful what Madi and her family have had to walk through. But if there's one thing I know, it's that this family is full of faith, love, and the kind of strength that leaves you in awe.

Cancer sucks.

But love? Love shows up. Love fights. And this family is surrounded by so much of it. ❤️

Friends, PLEASE help me keep Madi and her family in your prayers as they continue this fight. 💛🙏
