A Summer engagement session for an upcoming Winter wedding + two ridiculously photogenic people = one very happy photographer girly 🤩

I say this all the time because somehow I keep getting the sweetest, most beautiful clients, but WOW. These two were a DREAM in front of the camera. Can’t wait for their December wedding! 🥹❄️💒

The most BEAUTIFUL sisters AND graduates, Mae-Li and Harper. 💕

A small crew of us came together to make this senior session very special for Mae-Li, as she requested a flower swing over the river. Her sweet mama and family, along with a couple of others made it happen. 🥹😭 It was such a heartwarming evening, watching everyone pitch in to make her smile!

AREN’T THEY BOTH STUNNING?!? 😩🥹💕

May was WILD in the best way. 🥹📸

31 sessions.
4 weddings.
Countless laughs, hugs, happy tears, muddy shoes, reschedules, late night editing sessions, and memories for not only my clients, but me as well.

Some days this job is exhausting. Some days social media can be loud. Some days it’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing, what everyone else is posting, or what everyone else thinks success should look like.

But then I look at my calendar.

I look at the families who trust me year after year.
The couples who ask me to document the biggest days of their lives.
The moms who hand me their brand new babies.
The women who trust me with their bo***ir sessions.
The seniors, the graduates, the birthday babies, the businesses…

And I’m reminded that I am incredibly blessed.

I don’t need to be the fanciest. I don’t need to be the trendiest. I just need to keep showing up, serving my people well, and creating images that mean something.

So if you’ve ever booked a session, shared a post, recommended my name, liked a photo, or cheered me on from the sidelines.. thank you. Truly.

This little photography business continues to support my family, and that’s something I’ll never take for granted. 🤍

Here’s to a busy year, and focusing on gratitude over the noise every single time. 🥹 So if you stayed for this rant, drop me some love… I need it today. 😩💕

Okay, who’s giving these kids permission to grow up?! 😭🎓

I met Maddie and her family at my VERY first set of fall minis in October of 2020! and now she’s graduating 5th grade. That’s just wild to me. Over the years, I’ve gotten to photograph so many important moments for this family, including her mom and dad’s wedding. Getting to watch these kiddos grow up is truly one of the best parts of my job. 😭

Middle school HERE SHE COMES ✌️🤩

I will actually NEVER turn down a good maternity session. 🥹🤍

I don’t care if I’ve photographed 100 of them, they get me every single time. Maybe it’s because I’ve been there three times myself, or maybe it’s for that pregnant mama GLOW. 😍

These will forever be some of my favorite sessions to photograph. Always. 🤍🫶🏼

We’re international, babbyyyyy. 😏✈️🌎 (already were actuallyyyy but these two came to us 🥹)

Nikita and Bradley, two physicians in Trinidad and Tabago 🤩, traveled alllll the way to North Carolina to elope, and let me tell you… it was absolutely worth the trip. Their intimate ceremony took place at Tamarca Hollow, tucked away in the mountains and surrounded by the kind of views that make you stop and just take it all in.

One of my favorite things about partnering with Tamarca Hollow is how easy we make the entire experience. We offer elopement and intimate wedding packages where we handle all the things. Photography, accommodations, dinner, planning assistance, and all those little details that turn a wedding day into an unforgettable experience. No stress. Just the two of you and the BEST views. 🫶

And the fact that these two traveled from the Caribbean to celebrate here? That’s pretty dang special. 🥹🤍

Thinking about an elopement? Let us make it PERFECT for you!! 📸🏔️💍✨

(And if you’re simply looking for a quiet, beautiful place to vacation or relax. Check out Tamarca Hollow on Airbnb.)

Working on the SWEETEST birth story today! 🥹

Ya know… the one where I had a birth AND a wedding ceremony happening at the SAME TIME. (Luckily both were in Burke County😅👏) I’m convinced that the Lord likes to watch me scramble a little bit. 😂

One minute I’m quietly documenting a brand new life entering the world… the next I’m fixing a veil and trying not to cry during vows. 🥹 The emotional whiplash of this job is absolutely insane at times, but goodness I love getting to capture life’s biggest moments for such special people. 🫶

Your business deserves more than blurry iPhone photos and outdated profile pictures (👀)

I’m ALWAYS booking M-F branding sessions however, I am considering taking on 2 businesses who want a “content day” where I deliver branding photos PLUS content, raw phone video + ready to post reels. 😍

Let me know if I can help give your business the content refresh that it neeeeds! 👏

Tag your favorite business owner. 🤍

Also- if you’re in need of a couple of amazing realtors, Cinquanto Sisters- E&V Foothills Morganton Downtown is the way to go!!! Give them a call or DM and thank me later. 😉
