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.

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 helping you cherish your people for years to come.

I'm based in Hickory, NC and am available throughout Winston-Salem, Charlotte, 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 exhilarating to be part of such a life-changing moment for  two people I love so much. And it brings me so much joy to do that for you.

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create enchanting and endearing images that tell a story and showcase tangible beauty and goodness.

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.
