Hello and welcome. I'm a lifestyle/editorial photographer now based Grand Forks, North Dakota of all places. After starting my business in Charlotte, NC and bouncing around the Southeast, we are embarking on a new adventure in a a whole new part of the country. My goal is to capture the beauty of life as you know it. My passion is to create images that celebrate life and emotion with a fresh and modern style. I'm happy to share my journey with you here on my site.

Available for travel assignments and adventure, always.
Apologies to anyone who got a crazy email from me requesting money and saying I was stuck in the UK.  My email was hacked into and I'm working on sorting out the issues... what a mess since it looks like all my emails were deleted and maybe even all contacts lost.  If you really need to get a hold of me please call (919.622.1729) and hopefully I can either have my email, or at least Facebook, back or have something else set up VERY soon!

______________________________________________________________

And because I can't ONLY post this downer of a message, here is something else on the brighter side....

"clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience...

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

colossians 3:12

Great Saturdays to cherish!!! When I work, I choose not to work every Saturday as well. I bet for you, being a wedding photographer, Saturdays are the most requested date, huh? enjoy your free weekends with your family!

One of my oldest and dearest friends came to visit us and meet Charlie boy last weekend. She and her husband have 2 sweet girls as well so our house was full, and so was my heart. She and I have been the best of friends since middle school so we have walked through so many life stages together and I always tell her that when I'm with her... I feel like the truest version of myself. Over the years we have dreamed about what our future would hold and where our lives would take us. It's safe to say that we have both had our share of adventures, but this visit was consumed with our current stage of life - motherhood. Our time was filled with smiling babies, crying babies, changing diapers, bonding over loss of sleep, and walking with strollers. It's so sweet to be walking through this season at the same time!

You are a beautiful gift in my life dearest Virginia.

Well, it's official! The Spring line for SP is now featured on their website and it's gorgeous! Pretty amazing considering we shot everything in Charleston back in November - and yes, it was 8 months preggo while we shot all this, so I think that I take an extra grain of pride in it! The SP ladies are nothing short of genius with creating these amazing looks for their brand, and I just so very much enjoy being able to come alongside them and really capture their vision through my camera. So thank you thank you for letting me shoot with you again.

The other exciting element of this line is that Ross has expressed a willingness to wear a purple dress shirt, ha! Now that is something for a farm boy who insists that jean shorts are making a comeback :)

Now go buy yourself a fabulous bow tie and check out their witty new PC shorts while you are there! southernproper.com

Today is all about celebrating all things lovely, good and pure... so I wanted to share this image and a link to my friend Doreen's site because it is filled with images that are just that... lovely, good and pure. I'm always inspired and awed by the beauty she captures, so I wanted to pass it along.
