Running around Wrightsville Beach with Presley Loftis ✨ This senior session brought me so much light!! I love when we can explore a little, wandering down side roads in search of something fun and unexpected…all with her grandma waiting for us in the car so we’re not worried about parking lol.

For upcoming seniors, September and early October is a great time for photos where you can still take advantage of your summer glow and pretty light before winter rolls in. My April is reserved for college grads so if you want florals in your photos, now is the time!

Sometimes life is moving so fast that it feels slow, until you take some time to reflect and WOW. A lot happened this summer 😅 even if I didn’t get to be in the sun as much as I’d like, now I know why!

New gear, home reno, loud music, the love of my life, and tons of Hidden Grounds Coffee ☕️

I’m grateful for a full calendar and little inspirations that keep me excited to create. I’m still soaking up the +90° days (hopefully some saltwater in my hair) but feeling ready to kick off the fall season with a wedding this weekend!!

Hear me out… brown bridesmaid dresses 🤎 This was the first wedding I’ve done with this look and it is so soft and pretty, especially for summer. Paired with the warm neutral tones was perfection.
