At one point during the reception, I looked over and my second shooter and photog BFF, Jill (“IDK, my BFF Jill?” Old commercial quote, anyone?!? Yeah…just me?…) was wiping away a tear. I felt one in my eye too. This day was full of moments like this and I am going to list some below […]

I opened up my email in the middle of January to a message from Christina. Hearing from past brides is always exciting so I rushed to read what was up with her and Jamie. They were expecting their sweet miracle baby and wanted to plan to get some photos with her when she arrived! Oh […]

It was the weekend of coffee-centered engagement sessions, and you know what? I am not mad about it! 🙂   Aleta and Lior live downtown and walked over to meet me outside Methodical Coffee, which happens to be where I first met Aleta several months ago. I left that meeting SUPER hoping she and Lior […]

Ann-Marie and Joe are getting married in a few weeks at Edinburgh West (can. not. wait!!) and we got to sneak in their engagement session this past weekend! Schedules can be crazy for everyone–especially when you are wedding planning–and especially when you live in different cities! I tell couples I am happy to do their […]

You meet some people and just click from the start. That was the case with Jules and Jesse. I am so thankful that some very dear mutual friends pointed them my way! When we were planning out their engagement session, Jules mentioned wanting to have a woody feel to some of their photos and also […]

Sometimes I have more than a year to plan with a couple before their wedding. Other times, it is more like 3 weeks! While that is definitely less common, for Allison and Derrick, I get it 100%. They just KNEW. They wanted a small wedding with just family, and rather than spend tons of time […]

When I pulled into Furman for this maternity session, I saw Kati and Josh sitting in their car before they noticed that I had arrived. They were just LAUGHING about who knows what as they waited for me to pull in. (Probably something that little girl was up to in the back seat!) When I […]

This is me and Leland. Here is a little of our backstory: I was an RA at Wofford and Leland was on my hall her freshman year. We got to be friends that year and I always thought she was great. (We bonded over several things initially, one of which being our mutual not-so-great feelings […]

Last January, Hayes and I (and teeny baby Parker) were on our way to Charlotte for our annual weekend reunion with our college friends when I got a wedding inquiry from Claire. Who also happens to live in Charlotte. We were able to meet up for coffee while I was in town and I left […]
