Based in Eastern North Carolina, I capture moments in a way that feels timeless, honest, and deeply personal. With a love for both digital and film photography, my goal is always to create images that allow you to relive not only how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me spending time at the beach, cooking new recipes, reading a good book, or simply enjoying slow, meaningful moments with my husband, Andrew. He serves as my lead second photographer and is such an important part of the experience we create for our couples.
One of the things we cherished most about our own wedding day was being surrounded by people who genuinely celebrated and supported our marriage, and that’s the same experience we hope to bring to every couple we serve. I want every couple to feel cared for, encouraged, and fully present throughout the entire process - knowing their story is being documented with intention and care.
It’s truly an honor to be invited into such meaningful moments, and I’m so grateful for every story I have the privilege of capturing.

favorite things

I first picked up a camera in middle school and was instantly in love with capturing moments that allowed others to truly feel emotion. As time went on, I started to pick up clients here and there, ranging from family friends, classmates, and even brides. I eventually moved to Boone, NC where I studied public relations at Appalachian State University. I graduated from App State in 2019 with a dream of working in college athletics. I like to say that the Lord had a different plan.
Today, photographing weddings with a fine art approach is my full-time job. With over 100 weddings under my belt, I've learned that this is truly what the Lord had in mind. Photographing love stories ignites my heart and brings me so much joy. It's now even sweeter because my husband has been able to shoot weddings with me, allowing us to become teammates in more ways than one.

My photo story

OUR WEDDING DAY

Our story is one of my favorites. We met in the lobby of our church one Sunday morning, and just nine months later, we said “I do” surrounded by 40 of our closest family and friends at our favorite restaurant, Ford + Shep. Our wedding day was intimate and intentional — with a candlelit dinner, a first look, and time spent truly present with the people we love most. Every part of the day felt uniquely “us.”
