Hello and welcome. I'm a lifestyle/editorial photographer now based in Fayetteville, NC, and working regularly with clients in both Charlotte and Raleigh. 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.

Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.

~John F. Kennedy


I've been hearing about this fabulous vintage tandem bike for quite some time now, so it was particularly fun to shoot this session. Helen and Keith are not only some of the most creative and brilliant people that I know, but they are also proudly welcoming their first little one later this fall. It's been a big year for these two and these images make me happy... I hope they do the same for you.

Love it! Makes me feel like we need to pull the old vintage Schwinn Twin Tandem deluxe out from our shed. Beautiful Amy!

Sometimes when I'm editing and listening to music at the same time certain songs just seems to fit all too perfectly the images I'm working with. And lovely Leighton, who is clearly adored in every sense of the word, matched up perfectly with Amy Seeley's Beloved lyrics....

you ...
your heart
your hands
your eyes
your dreams

are beloved

your heart
your hands
your eyes ..
and everything that you see in your dreams

beloved

There is just nothing quite like a bridal portrait... I adore shooting them. It's this wonderful chance for the bride to truly FEEL like a bride with none of the pressures and/or time restraints of the the actual wedding day. It's such a joy to watch and such a privilege to be a part of this special moment in time.

Alison was certainly no exception as she glowed in her stunning gown... hair, jewelry and make-up all accenting her perfectly. It all comes down to the fact that she is a woman who is loved and adored.

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles 
And the heavens open every time she smiles 
And when I come to her that's where I belong 
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song 

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down 
And when I come to her when the sun goes down 
Take away my trouble, take away my grief 
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Van Morrison

What a beautiful way to end the week! Remember this smiling baby? Yes, as promised, here is more of his precious face... along with his darling parents (can't you see where he gets his good looks from?!). Happy Friday!

Despite the heat, Amanda and Kevin's wedding day was one of pure loveliness and pure celebration for the life that they are starting together...

Just a few sweet moments of the day.
