September in Wilmington >>> 😮‍💨

The crowds are finally leaving, beach parking is almost free again 😅, and these dreamy East Coast evenings? Yeah… I’m obsessed.

So if you’ve been needing an excuse to get outside, take a walk, chase the sunset, and maybe document it while you’re at it—this is it.

Big milestone or literally just a Tuesday. I’m here for it 🤎

Okay but… who’s planning a tiny little “just us + our favorite people” wedding?! 🥹🤍

If you’re eloping or keeping it super intimate with 15 people or less, I’d LOVE to photograph it!

I’m growing the wedding side of my portfolio, so I’m offering some veryyyy discounted rates to a few couples while I do it. 👀

Think candid moments, happy tears, questionable dance moves & all the little in-between moments you’ll want to remember. ✨

Pause for a second…

It stormed ALL day, but the rain and thunder held off just long enough for the sweetest couple to have the perfect Wilmington surprise proposal 🥹💍✨

Both sets of parents there to witness and celebrate them made it even more special. Downtown riverfront magic.

Let me save you some time.

Hire me if you like...

✨Photos that feel like you & not overly posed

✨A documentary storytelling vibe

✨Movement, laughter, flirting

✨A photographer who will absolutely make you try something ridiculous

✨Photos that feel more like an experience than a photoshoot

If you don’t want to just freeze and smile at the camera, we’re probably going to get along just fine.

So... where are my couples at? 👀📸

I’m still at the beginning of this photography journey, and honestly, seeing my clients genuinely love their photos means more to me than I can put into words.

Every session gives me the chance to grow, learn, and keep becoming a better photographer-and I’m so grateful for every person who trusts me to capture these moments for them.

If you’re in the Wilmington, NC area and want photos that capture the real moments, little details, and genuine connection-not just posed smiles-l’d love to tell your story.

40 years married, still acting like teenagers, still each other’s best friend, and happily dancing to their own tune. 😂❤️

My parents have always been the best example of what real, lasting love looks like—never taking themselves too seriously and always choosing each other. 🥹 So lucky I get to call them Mom & Dad… and even luckier I got to capture this love. ✨
