Get your tickets for Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s The Crucible! We got a sneak peek tonight and it was fantastic… you don’t want to miss it! Such a fun experience shooting the marketing photos for this production! I got to know the cast and see the story come to life in a whole new way. Check out the photos and info about the show in the latest Up & Coming Weekly. Get your tickets at: https://sweetteashakespeare.com

Exciting news! I’ve just updated my website and would love for you to check it out! Most of you know me for newborn photography (my absolute favorite 🥰), but over the past 25 years I’ve photographed just about everything! From working with Cape Fear Valley Health’s Marketing Department for the past 17 years to traveling with non-profits and capturing their incredible stories, photography has given me the chance to document so many different journeys.
No matter how big or small, every story deserves to be told beautifully. I’d love to help tell yours!

It’s with a heavy heart that I share I’m closing my newborn portrait studio after 13 wonderful years.
To every family who trusted me to capture your precious memories — thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s truly been my joy and honor.
After 25 years in this beautiful industry, it’s clear things are changing, and so must I. I’m not putting my camera down — just shifting directions. I’ll still be photographing, but on location only.
If you’d like to book a session or have any questions, please reach out — I’d love to keep creating memories with you. ❤️

Don’t wait until after your baby arrives to book your newborn session — reserve your spot now!
Book your due date in advance, and once you're home from the hospital, simply reach out to schedule your session for baby's first weeks of life. I only take a limited number of newborns each month, so be sure to book early to guarantee availability.
