AUTHENTICITY OVER EVERYTHING
We live in a world where it’s far too easy to make fake look great. It’s why every single photo on this website and especially the stories below are filled with nothing but real photos of real clients. No styled shoots, no gimiicks, no pinterest page inspired work - just the most recent, most raw, and most real moments happening in my life and the lives of our clients lately.

GETTING CHILLS IN FAYETTEVILLE . Amanda + Brad WEDDING STORY
This whole wedding gave me chills. Of course it was freezing - but the story behind it is absolutely powerful. No quotes needed, just 100 images, 48 hours after Amanda + Brad said "I do" and some of the most powerful moments I've ever shot.

Family Time. Behind the camera.
"Think of your family today and every day thereafter, don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your family." - Josiah // A pretty rare glimpse on the other side of the camera on a Sunday at our house.

Turks & Caicos Wedding Story with Kristina + Colin
In short I will part with anything for you but you. Mary Wortley Montagu // This wedding was an absolute dream.

Boho Engagement Session. Sofia + Jeremy
The authentic self is soul made visible. - Sarah Ban Breathnach // This boho styled engagement shoot was full of craft beer, big views, and a healthy dose of man bun. Sofia + Jeremy are two of the most authentic people I can imagine and this shoot was perfectly them.

FALLING IN LOVE. MORGAN + COLE'S CONNECTION SESSION

IN THE MOMENT. ABIGAIL + CAMDON'S CONNECTION SESSION
“When I saw you I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew.” ~ William Shakespeare // This session was absolutely the most incredible part of a great week. From the moment it started misting and the wind picked up the potential was for these two to get nervous but they completely embraced the moments and had a blast with everything that came there way.

BROOKLYN FASHION BREAK
A quick break from the norm as we work with a great model on a Brooklyn inspired fashion and lifestyle editorial a few weeks ago. // "When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough. Fran Lebowitz"

CAUGHT IN THE LIGHT. JENN + DREW'S WEDDING STORY.

WEDDING STORY . Candy + Ronnie
MAY THIS MARRIAGE BE FULL OF LAUGHTER, OUR EVERY DAY A DAY IN PARADISE - RUMI

First Half. Kate + Justin's practically perfect wedding day.
PART ONE (up to the first look) When one of your favorite photographers calls and asks you to shoot his wedding. When that photographer marries one of the most kind and beautiful brides you've ever worked with. When you have three full time lead photographers at one wedding. When the first look is a complete surprise to the groom. Don't miss this story. // "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."— Pablo Neruda

Young Love. Katelyn + Zach's Connection Session
A young man in the Air Foce and a beautiful Christian woman ready to spend her life supporting him. These two blew me away from the very first hug and I can't wait any longer to show them off a little.
