I have had the opportunity of knowing the wonderful South Charlotte Dog Rescue family for almost two years now. These ladies work tirelessly to try and find the perfect foster and permanent home for each dog that comes to the rescue! They are truly incredible at what they do, and if anyone is looking to get involved please reach out to www.southcharlottedogrescue.com #SouthCharlotteDogRescue #NorthCarolina #waxhaw #dogs #nature

It was so great catching up with the Isaac and Aria this past week!

I met up with Aquisha in Laurinburg to shoot a fashion "grunge-inspired" shoot, and in case it isn't apparent, I had a blast! I have wanted to shoot with Aquisha for a LONG time now, so when she said that she was itching to shoot I jumped at the opportunity.

Mondays session with Tierra was one of my favorite studio sessions to date. My theory with boudoir is that less is always more, props and elaborate outfits can often distract from what boudoir is about, the celebration of YOU!

This beautiful model just radiates strength and confidence, which made my job incredibly easy. (For booking info contact: Diam

I would like to begin with a disclaimer: I am about as flexible as a board, and as graceful as a bull in a china shop. So needless to say this shoot was a bit of a foreign concept to me and I was sore just thinking about how strong and flexible these ladies were. That being said, it was also one of the coolest things that I have had the opportunity of shooting so far. We met up this Sunday at the Krav Maga Studio in Raleigh, where this event was graciously hosted by Bonsai St
