Being married to my best friend is the sweetest privilege. Kyle has stolen my heart, and our little James and Amelia are more precious than I can say. As a wife & mama I understand what it's like to have such a deep love for your people. You delight in them more than words can explain. That's why photos matter.

Because years from now, you'll want to look back on the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between. Andy was onto something when he said, “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” Yes, that's an Office quote. But really. Don't let the good old days pass you by. Let me help you reminisce for years to come.

I find JOY in creating images that help you cherish your people for years to come.

I'm based in Hickory, NC and am available throughout Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Wake Forest & more. I've been capturing love stories for the past 7 years. It all started when my brother asked me to take pictures of him proposing to my best friend! It was EXHLERATING to be part of such a life-changing moment for  two people I love so much. And it brings me so much joy to imagine getting to do that for you.

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create timeless and joyful images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world God made.

believe in real moments and belly laughs. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of times together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.

I firmly believe joy is the best accessory, not just in photos, but in life. We have so much to celebrate! Starting with that sweetheart of yours :) We’ll spend plenty of time laughing together, and we’ll also have some peaceful moments for you to just take a deep breath and soak it all in.

My number one goal is to love & serve YOU. I want you to know that you are loved and cherished. I hope that from our time together you can taste the sweetness of God’s grace in your life.
