My passion for photography lies in my ability to capture priceless moments, unique perspectives, raw emotion, and the unexpected... Capturing the world as we actually experience it along with the fine details and unique perspectives that can only be seen by the mind's eye and felt by the heart, my photographs enable the story to be relived forever and retold time and time again...

I don’t post much anymore with life being a little on the wild side with 2 littles, but couldn’t help myself after seeing the photos from this gorgeous senior. This senior is a natural beauty inside and out! She and her family are also neighbors of mine who we adore. They even brought me flowers after the session which of course melted my heart!

Emma is involved with Dance, Eco Club, Girl’s Council, Honor’s Society, and is a WSFC Elementary School Tutor. This past summer she was an Intern at Experiment in Self Reliance and attended Summer at Brown University. She is one busy, active, and smart lady!

We were able to catch the tail end of the fall colors for her session and enjoyed some iconic spots in Winston Salem. I told Emma I was going to edit 3 pictures for a quick sneak peek... Well I guess I had a little too much fun editing late last night, and I ended up with 26! Enjoy this senior sneak peek! Gallery to come! Jennifer Walter Ruggiero Warren Ruggiero

Precious Annaliese Rose made her debut, and I was honored to take her newborn photos! I don’t post much anymore due to life being at an all-time level of crazy busy with 2 littles, but I couldn’t help but post a few of these as this little girl is as precious as they come! She is the perfect addition to their sweet and beautiful family!

Congrats DeAnna Calloway Prevette & Dillon Prevette and welcome to life as a family of 4!

Happy 1st birthday to our "Wild One" Jack Gracen! When I do these cake smash sessions for clients, I usually photograph for at least an hour and get all the creative shots and angles and take time to really let the kids go crazy with the cake...

When it’s my own kid, I spent more time holding our baby, and about 5 minutes of actually taking photos! 😂 To be fair, Jack also wasn't feeling the best, skipped his nap, and wasn't up for dinner, so we knew it would be a quick session. In those 5 minutes, he wanted to take a nap (before it even started), made sure to let us know he was not a fan of his birthday hat, took one bite of cake tops and was over it, but thankfully we managed to get a smile or two in that time.

This guy keeps us on our toes and makes every day entertaining! Happy 1st birthday! Love you big little man!

I don't post much these days as life with 2 littles keeps me pretty busy, but had to share this little blessing that arrived in December! What a wonderful present she is to such an incredible family. Here are just a few favs from her mini newborn session!

Time definitely flies much faster with 2 under 2! Can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting Jack Gracen's newborn photos. This photoshoot was definitely a little more challenging with a toddler that loves to love on baby boy (especially right when he gets into a deep sleep 😂) and a protective fur baby that yips at anyone and everyone walking by in the window, but we made it work! So glad you are here in this world and part of our family Jack Gracen!

When you realize it's been 6 months since you've taken out the nice camera for Everley, and you have a last minute photo session to take advantage of the 80 degree weather and 20 minutes of light. After all there's only so many times you can get away with wearing a unicorn dress...

When you have good light, you have to take advantage of it, and even though this was the quickest, most spontaneous, last-minute session I’ve ever done, it turned out awesome! We vacationed in the Outerbanks this fall and had an amazing time with this family and another lovely family! Even though we weren’t planning on taking photos that night after being out in the sun all day, after seeing the light, I told them to make a dash for it and get ready in 10 minutes tops - which they did like champs! We also had a quick mini session the next morning to take in our last day at the beach! I absolutely adore this family and so glad to get to know them over the last few years!

We definitely had our work cut out for us with this cake smash session. With a sick baby and one who crawled to mama every time we sat her down in her spot (which doesn’t work so well when mom is the photographer), it’s safe to say the first 2 attempts were a wash. Finally after saying a quick prayer for creativity and renewed patience, we thought of trying out a brand new object (her Everley puzzle), some flowers for her to explore, banana bites, and Baby Shark...all of which did the trick to get her to stay in one spot for more than 2 seconds!

Everley is truly my flower child as she was more interested in the flowers than her cake. Once she discovered the cake, she seemed to be a fan, minus her sticky fingers... The rest of the session went like this... Cake > Water break > More Cake > Headband off > Headband back on > Sticky finger situation > Meltdown mode > Discovery that sticky cake fingers actually taste good > Back for more cake > Final meltdown where she decided the cake’s place was on the floor... and that was a wrap! Well almost... Miya of course had to partake in a little fun as well... (Saving the best for last! If you can’t get smiles out of your baby, give your dog some cake nibbles... If that grin doesn’t sum it up, I don’t know what would!)

I’ve known this precious couple for almost 8 years and have loved watching their family grow over the years. Knox is just the sweetest big brother - so eager to love on his new baby brother. Price was a gem and slept almost the entire session!

Ginny McCool Hargette and JHarg are not only incredible parents but wonderful friends. They’ve always been a family away from home for me, and I’m so blessed to have them in my life. Thanks for being wonderful people, friends, and mentors!

When capturing moments and reflecting on priceless photos like these, it is a breath of fresh air to know that, for at least a little while, all is right in the world. You forget about all that is going on and remember just how amazing the precious creation of life is and how special and heartfelt is the love that is so evident in this family. Nothing else seems to matter as little annoyances and worldly concerns melt away and suddenly you are reminded of God’s glory in his precious creations. It’s inevitable and imperative to take a moment to slow down in this crazy, busy world and remember what’s truly important as we start to look at life through a different lens...

It seems like yesterday I was taking J&F’s engagement photos. I’ve had the privilege of photographing Jamie and Frank’s engagement, wedding, Tinsley’s newborn, Tinsley’s 1 Year, family photos, and now capturing the innocence and purse wonder of their second baby, Emerson. I haven’t posted much lately due to life’s nonstop crazy busyness, but couldn’t help but post some of my many favorites from this adorable session.

Thanks Jamie N Frank Holmes for being such wonderful clients and friends! Enjoy your sneak peak... there are MANY more to come!

I can’t believe this little angel is already 1! It seemed like yesterday that she was my prize newborn, with 6 outfit/setup changes in less than 3 hours, all with no crying and no diaper changes!

Fast forward 1 year. Even though it was quite the hot day and although most of the photoshoot entailed giving our best efforts to distract Harper from taking off her adorable hair accessory, bow or no bow, this little darling took the heat like a champ and is as precious as can be. Her lovely parents were extra patient and it’s been fun to see what amazing parents they’ve become over the year!

Thanks Melissa Klein and Shane Klein for letting me capture this special time in your lives!
