Pup's and Pumpkins!
Had the pleasure of hanging out with the Saved By the Bell Litter from the South Charlotte Dog Rescue this morning! These three beautiful babies have had a rough start and they still have a long way to go. This was yesterday's update: So, the vet visit was quite an eye opener into the life that these sweet 3 babes have endured. All of them weigh around 5lbs and are 11 weeks old. They should be about 20lbs at 11 weeks, so that tells you how malnourished they truly are. Kelly h

2017 {a year in love}
2017 was a crazy {wonderful} year for us. We had the opportunity to watch so many people tie the knot (37 couples to be exact!) in 4 states and 2 provinces across the U.S. and Canada. We had the great privilege of watching proposals unveil, celebrating anniversary milestones, and we had the great pleasure of getting to be a part of couple's journey to the alter, helping with wedding plans where we can, and capturing engagement photos and bridal sessions. Kicking off our seaso

Jacob & Lindsey
I had the joy of hanging out with Jacob and Lindsey this past week. These two are AMAZING and fun and Lindsey is also a photographer (you should definitely check out her work after you finish this blog because she is CRAZY talented!) so we were able to talk nerd, which if you know me at all, you know that I thoroughly enjoy talking nerd! These two are currently raising funds for fertility treatment and offering photography mini sessions, And I have a bunch of crochet goods fo

The Vigil Family
I very distinctly remember my first time meeting this family. I was setting up our Veteran's Day session at a field and Lisa pulls up and asks two very important questions: "Do I offer family portraits" and more importantly " can we include our pet pig?" and I knew right then that this was a family that I needed to associate with! If you don't know the Vigil's you are definitely missing out (also, if you haven't been to their Waxhaw shop Provisions and tried their cooking you

The Cochrane Family
It's hard to believe that it was only a year ago that I met this wonderful family, because SO MUCH has changed in the last 365 days. There was an engagement and a beautiful wedding, a house was bought in there somewhere too! We met up earlier this week to celebrate Landon, who is turning three! Landon showed off his painting skills and we had a lot of fun making messes!!! #Family #familyportrait #Waxhaw #nature #Paint

Corey & McKenzie {wedding}
I had the awesome joy of watching this beautiful couple the knot this past weekend! These two are so adorable its sickening, and their day was absolutely stunning! I loved all of the handmade details such as the AMAZING brooch bouquet! Their evening ceremony was followed by some stellar dance moves at the reception and a sparkler send off. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. White! #wedding #mountains #bridal #fall #NorthCarolina

McKenzie {bridal}
I have been dying to share this session since we shot McKenzie's bridal session back in August. We met up at the Forty Acre Rock in South Carolina where we took advantage of the picturesque backdrops and beautiful scenery. I extra-loved the broach-bouquet made from family keepsakes! Thank you to McKenzie and your wonderful family for trudging out to the middle of nowhere for this shoot :) #SouthCarolina #bridal #Summer #woods #mountains #wedding

Baby Caroline
This session was definitely one that I will never forget! I had the privilege of watching Sarah and Saverio tie the knot last year and was felt so honored when they asked if I would be there as baby Caroline made her grand appearance. Sarah was such a trooper through her entire labour (which was probably made even longer by my slew of corny jokes) , and at 12:24 this morning we got to meet Caroline Anna. Both Momma and Baby (and Dad too) are happy and healthy. Welcome to the

The Waggoners
I was so excited to get to catch up with my wonderful in-laws this past week! I am probably a little biased, but I am pretty sure that Sadie is the single cutest kid ever ( I mean seriously, SO stinkin' cute!) #Family #familyportrait #Studio #children

Devin & Alex {wedding}
Devin & Alex's wedding this past weekend at the Whippoorwill-Hill was absolutely gorgeous! The weather was perfect! and I just adored the fall colors and unique details such as Alex's hairpiece and there custom Cornhole boards! From their wonderful ceremony, to the enthusiastic cake-smashing, Devin and Alex made their day so much fun! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Starnes! #wedding #fall #Waxhaw #nature #bridal #NorthCarolina
