I’m the girl behind the lens, here to capture your love stories, belly laughs, and all the perfectly imperfect moments in between. I’m a proud wife, mama to two energetic little boys (read: professional snack fetcher and bedtime negotiator), and a chips-and-salsa enthusiast who firmly believes it’s its own food group.

When I’m not photographing weddings, new babies, or chasing golden hour light with a family, you can find me living my best small-town Carolina life, belting out Taylor Swift songs (badly, but with passion), or embracing my self-titled “hot mess” status. Coffee fuels my days, and Jesus inspires my heart.

My passion? Telling your story in a way that feels as authentic as your love. Whether it’s your wedding day, a milestone moment, or just a slice of your beautiful everyday life, I’m here to create images that’ll make you laugh, cry, and say, “That’s so us.”

Let’s make some memories—and maybe share some chips and salsa while we’re at it.

Absolutely everything I do is because of these guys.
I wouldn't be the photographer I am if it weren't for my loving + supportive family. I am blessed beyond measure. 

my family

I'd move to the coast in a heartbeat.
My family calls Surfside Beach, SC home in the summertime.
There's nothing like an early morning cup of coffee while on the front porch at the beach...amIright?!

the beach

There's a whole lot of love within these walls.
Lots of memories. 
Who would've thought a 1960's ranch with green shag carpet would've turned into one of my favorite places in the entire world.

my home

A hundred year old space located in historic downtown Monroe, NC. 
With big dreams, I signed a lease for the littlest space in the building. 
What started out as an office-away-from-home has turned into one of my most proudest business achievements. 

my studio

I was truly meant to be a boy mom. The moment I held each of my babies for the first time, I knew my prayers had been answered. My boys are my whole world, and I love them more than words can ever say.

my boys

Didn't know how much of a "dog person" I really was until I met Darcy.
My constant companion and hardest working office assistant.
