2022 Maternity Session

April 28, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

I love, love that I'm able to capture important milestones in people's lives. Expecting a baby is one of those special times. I love the anticipation and excitement of a maternity session with an expectant couple. When my close friends and parents-to-be asked me to take their maternity photos in the Raleigh area, I jumped at the chance and had just the place in mind. The JC Raulston Arboretum is the perfect location for any type of portrait session. I had been there to take photos before and was very excited to go back.  The weather was perfect, mom-to-be was glowing, and we were all ready for a perfect session.  No matter who I'm working with, I always feel nervous and it was really important to me to make this session a great one. Everything felt very natural and relaxed. We had a wonderful time wandering around, looking for pretty spots, and watching everyone out and about enjoying the gardens.  I can't wait to meet this little baby boy! Congrats!

Branding Session

April 19, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

Several months ago I needed to update my professional photos, so I reached out to my friend and fellow photographer, Lia to set up a session. We had a fun afternoon Uptown Greenville and I've been using the photos often for different projects and posts.  Today I got to take Lia's branding photos for her website, social media, and professional use.  We met in her town, Kinston, NC. We started off at an adorable coffee shop, Middle Grounds. We lucked out, as it wasn't too busy at the time and took some fun, creative shots. Then we wandered down the street to a mural and a couple of brick alley spots. It was a lot of fun! As photographers we are always behind the lens and don't often get in front of it. 

We both learned some lessons from these sessions. Getting in front of the camera is not easy! It can be awkward. We had a conversation about how we both now better understand how our clients feel when we are having them pose.  It usually takes a little time for people to warm up and get comfortable being photographed. Having our photos taken gave us both a better appreciation for what posing and following direction feels like. We agreed that this experience will help us to be even better photographers.  Check out a few of my faves that I took of Lia!


Floral Mini Session - Tulips 2022

April 10, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

I found this little gem of a place in Greenville, NC and jumped at the opportunity to hold a mini session event there during tulip season. Raising Grayce Farm is an adorable pick-your-own flower farm. It's in the owner's backyard and they are kind enough to allow photography on their property.  I had been looking to do something like this, and the nearest tulip farm I could find was in the Raleigh area. So I was super excited to find something local!  Tulips are one of my favorite Spring flowers, I knew the photos would be beautiful. About a week before my event, I visited the farm with my parents. We had a great time walking around and checking out all the different kinds of flowers. We met the farm cat, chickens, and cows as well.  We cut some flowers to take home and the visit got me even more excited for my minis.  

The day of the mini sessions was pretty, sunny, and warm....but it was a little windy at the farm. Everyone looked great and had fun despite the wind! I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to doing more floral sessions there. Sunflowers and zinnias are next, so be on the lookout for booking information!  Full sessions are offered as well. So if you are looking for a unique location for your Spring photo session, let me know!


Book your Spring 2022 Session!

March 31, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

It seems like the cold temps are behind us for good and I'm so excited for all of my upcoming photo sessions!  There are so many reasons why Spring is the perfect time for your photo session.

  • The lighting is so beautiful at this time of year. It's staying lighter later, so we have some pretty times of day and also more options when booking your time slot. 
  • The weather is warm but not too warm, you want to get your session in before it gets too hot around here. 
  • Spring holidays! Start gift shopping for Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation, Teacher Appreciation, Weddings, Birthdays. You can use prints from your session as gifts and I have gift certificates available as well.  GC can be used for a session fee or to order prints.  My landscape prints make great gifts too!
  • Graduation - High school and college grads it's time for your senior photos!  Even if you aren't crazy about the idea, you know your family will love them. 
  • On location - There are so many pretty spots around and Springtime is just gorgeous. We can meet at the location of your choice or I'll come to your home. I'll help you choose the perfect setting.
  • Pets are welcome!
