"The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express." -Sir Francis Bacon
Part of what made the session with Lauren so fun, was that Megan came along too! This is a girl that I just met, yet her warmth and laughter made my camera fall in love from the get go. Megan's easy confidence truly radiates through each of these images, and the perfect glow of the evening helped to match the mood of the session. There is practically nothing I love more than capturing and celebrating the beauty that I see in others... it brings me great joy.

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
-- Christopher Logue
It's hard to believe that its been over 5 years since I first met this special young lady, miss Lauren Seitz, and her family. I was working at Lost Valley Ranch, they were guests. We sat together at their first dinner and little did I know the role that their family would play in my life. Several months after that first meeting, we connected again in Charlotte. I had just moved and was feeling a little lost and alone... so they welcomed me into their home, shared the warmth of their laughter, and helped to encourage me on my way.
Now, it's wild to consider that Lauren has made her way through high school and is now on her way towards college. It's her turn to fly. And I have no doubt that this incredible lady will do just that....

She is an Army wife.
She is a mom.
She is a friend.
She is spunky.
She is an athlete.
She is an inspiration.
Her laughter has the power to convince you to smile, and I think that is something worth celebrating.

Meet Maddie and her twin brother Keifer. They are simply awesome. As we roamed around Davidson, where they have grown up, I marveled at these high school seniors who have already lived through so much adventure and who seem so much more mature than their years.... I marveled because they are coming to the end of their high school experience... they are finishing something HUGE, but it is only the beginning for them.
There are lots of college applications waiting to be confirmed or denied, and they will be launched out of this picturesque small town and into the beginning of creating a life that is all their own. These 2 will, no doubt, have amazing journeys as they go and I am proud and honored to have captured a little slice of who they are in the here and now.

Meet Molly. When you first meet her, she is lovely. Then you see her personality, and you see that she is beautiful. Molly wanted photos to give to her husband as a celebration of their first wedding anniversary. She wanted documentation for the place that they moved for his job, got married, and have enjoyed being newlyweds. We talked a lot about the challenges of moving and starting over for your husband's job...and yes, there are lots of challenges, but its part of the story... and its so much better because it becomes woven into the story of who you are together.
"Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together"
