I love this beach session so much! I don’t need much of an excuse to drive to the beach and Kathryn and Conner’s engagement session was such a refreshing change of pace! We were playing a game of cat and mouse with the weather, so we had to shoot much earlier in the day than […]

It has been a long time friends! How’s everyone doing? Hope you’re hanging in there! We’ve been spending a lot of time in the kitchen, which should be no surprise and I’ve catching up on a lot of tv (mostly Bravo). That sounds better than “binge watching” right? 🙂  I’ve also taken up running (I […]

Congratulations! You’re engaged and you’re in the beginning stages of planning every little detail for your big day! One of the big questions that your photographer and planner will ask you is if you are interested in sharing a “first look”. So what is a first look and what’s all the hype? I’m here to […]

Here’s Audrey! This beautiful little firecracker just turned one! Unfortunately, her birthday party was put on hold because of quarantine, so let’s celebrate her with a blog post! Audrey is clever, lively and so much fun to be around. It’s so exciting to see Allison and Russell in this new role as parents. I’ve known […]

Meet the Gregory family! We had the most fun exploring around Joyner Park on a crisp February afternoon. There was no shortage of big smiles and sweet moments from sweet Scottyln and Miller. I still can’t believe how big Scottlyn has gotten! We went from doing her 6 months photos to her cake smash one […]

I love a good cookbook, but sometimes I get overwhelmed when picking them out because it’s hard to know what recipes will speak to me and how much I will really get out of the book. We’ve certainly purchased a few duds, but we have quite a few that are real winners. If you’re in […]

One of my favorite couples in the world had a perfect little baby girl and I couldn’t be more excited for them!! Vera is so stinkin’ cute and it’s just so amazing to watch Jamie and Evan become parents. Evan pointed out that I’ve been the one that’s captured most of their big life moments […]

My best friend (aka “buffies” – best ultimate friends forever-ies) and her husband Andrew had their baby and he is beyond cute! Baby Davis is a little over a month old now and everyone is just smitten with him! He came into this world with a head full of hair and stole everyone’s hearts. I’ve […]

This one is quick, easy and delicious! Romain made this for me on Valentines Day as an appetizer and it was a DELIGHT. I think the key here is the mint, lemon zest and topping of flake salt. It’s also using really quality ingredients, keeping them simple and letting them shine. If you’re thinking of […]

Meet the Bass family! I got to spend a sun-filled, winter afternoon with this beautiful family, exploring around the fields behind the North Carolina Museum of Art. There is something so lovely about winter sun. There is a slight haze and softness that gives summer sunlight a run for its money. I’m so thankful that […]
