It’s been awhile since we’ve had a wedding sneak peek post on the blog! What an exciting day! Like so many couples this year, Kathryn & Alex had to move their original summer wedding date to the fall, choosing a more intimate celebration than first planned, not to mention a whole new location! I certainly […]

You’re in for a treat today! It’s be almost two years since I’ve seen the Klosowiak family for Briana’s newborn session and she has grown into the most precious, clever little girl! I absolutely loved adventuring around Pullen Park with this sweet family and capturing so many cute moments. We had the most perfect weather […]

I can’t get over this session and this smart, amazing little girl! Audrey was so entertaining this whole session. She has big ideas and lots to do. It’s been so special to see her grow (too quickly) and to watch Allison and Russell become such great parents. Audrey’s big personality is just so amusing to […]

Eat, sleep, beach, repeat – what a glorious week in paradise! We were looking for a good COVID friendly getaway and we picked the most perfect place – Ocracoke Island! There were some days that we literally had the beach to ourselves! We didn’t have great service, so we were forced to unplug and I’m […]

This was one of the most romantic engagement sessions to date! Like almost all of our couples, Rachel and Joseph were nervous that they would look awkward, but as you can see, they brought the most amazing chemistry to their session. One of my favorite things is to help my couples come out of their […]

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the flower field at the North Carolina Museum of Art – run over there NOW! It’s too pretty to miss! So many colors and butterflies – it’s a dream. We even saw a family of deer right in the middle of the field. Ironically, we were supposed […]

Meet the Killions + Grandma and Grandpa! I don’t think I’ve ever met a more photogenic, happy nine month old baby. Aubrey was hammin’ it up so much and I was just trying to capture every second! Julie bought this gift for her mother as a birthday present and I personally think it was such […]

If you love watermelon, then this is your drink! It’s like summertime in a glass! And you’re welcome for getting this song stuck in your head!   In a shaker: a good amount of watermelon chunks a few mint leaves a little lime juice a little simple syrup 1.5 ounces of tequila (or however much […]

Meet Emily – health coach, nurse practitioner, gem of gal and soon to be amazing mother! She’s my best friend’s sister, so I’ve known her pretty much as long as I’ve known Julia. Through the years, she has become a great friend as well and I love having her in my life! I’ve gotten to […]
