Alright... I am going to get it out of my system right off the bat... Kinsey and Ashley's wedding this past weekend took place where the film Dirty Dancing was filmed so I sort of just wanted to litter their blog with all of the quotes.... All I am going to say is that I. Had. The time of my Li-i-fe... at the Cockman's wedding this weekend! Ashley and Kinsey's wedding this past weekend at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn was nothing short of breathtaking! If you have seen any of the t

Alright, So I am so excited to share this session. I am a HUGE advocate for community over competition with other local photographers, and I met Larissa earlier this year where we bonded over the fact that we both are very loud and punny, and the fact that we both found our love for photography while dealing with grief. So this year for Christmas cards I was super lucky to get to swap family sessions with her (Please go to her page Facebook.com/photographybylarisa to check o

I cannot believe that it has only been two years since I first met this gorgeous family... since SO much has happened since then! I first met Madison and Landon at a Mommy & Me session, and since then there has been an engagement, a wedding, a house was bought AND there was the addition of the stunning miss Mari! You just can't help but beam with happiness for this gorgeous family! We Met up earlier this week at Hunter's parents farm, where we took advantage of the beautiful

It has been such a joy to bombard this growing family for the last 4 years! I have the privilege of being {fake} "Auntie Laynie" to these three goobers, who have yet to show up to a shoot without bringing oodles of personality, for which their parents are probably to blame! We met up in Waxhaw earlier this week because I got distracted by the amazing clouds which caused a last-minute location change. But seriously, look at those clouds! Also, check out Sarah's amazing ability

I had so much fun meeting up with Jakob last week for his senior session! We met up at the colorful NoDa in Charlotte. Thank you Jakob for letting me bombard you, and Congratulations on your upcoming Graduation!!! #senior #seniorportraits #Noda #Charlotte

I had the joy of meeting with the beautiful Delapena family while they were all in town last week! We met up at the gorgeous Jetton Park on Lake Norman. We got to do some larger group shots, as well as some fun shots of the smaller families! Thank you Delapena family for letting me bombard you! p.s. speaking as someone who can hardly color coordinate myself, Can I just point how fantastically coordinated they all are? #Family #familyportrait #Charlotte #Fall

I was so excited to get to shoot this maternity session! We have gotten to know the Vinson's over this past year at our church, and it is so awesome and exciting to get to watch their family grow! We met up this past week at the Medlin's farm, where we took advantage of the Beautiful sunset ( and the photobombing cows...) I cannot wait to meet their newest addition in the coming weeks! #maternity #fall #Family

That's right! I got to do TWO sessions with the gorgeous Luisa! and as you can tell I had absolutely no fun at all... as usual :) We met up this past weekend at Landsford Canal State Park which served as the perfect backdrop to Luisa's portrait session. Luisa was such a great sport, trudging through trees and mud and even got in the Catawba River in her gorgeous custom gown ( By the super talented Premal Badiani). If you know me at all, you know that my favorite shoots always

So I know that I say this a LOT, but I never want to just be an "event" photographer, I want to be your "life" photographer. I have absolutely loved getting to watch this beautiful family blossom, and I just cannot believe how quickly time flies! It was almost three years ago that I first met Sarah and Saverio, it has been over two years since I got to celebrate their wedding with them, and it has been almost a year since I got to witness the arrival of their beautiful daught
