Liz & Tommy

These two fun people enjoyed their outdoor ceremony at sunset in Fearrington Village. Their elegant reception was at Fearrington's Barn. They always do an incredible job with every detail of the wedding planning process!



See what I mean? ELEGANT!

This was something I haven't seen at a reception before. Great idea to all of you out there planning your weddings! They served yummy ice cream cones late in the night when everyone needed a little refreshment from all the dancing.

time flies

I cannot believe it has been two years since Kathryn and Jeff's wedding! These two were married in downtown Orlando, Florida and the amazing thing about their ceremony was that her Dad was their minister. It was such a touching service and I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere! This particular photograph cracks me up because Kathryn is always laughing and bringing out the best in everyone around her, even in her ceremony. Since then, she and Jeff have moved far away and have a little boy who is adorable. Thankfully, her family lives in NC and I can still catch up with her when she's in town. Happy 2 year anniversary, you two!!

Meet Cathy and Scott. These two are also celebrating their 2 year anniversary and I wish them the best in their life together! Their wedding was at the Grandover in Greensboro...an incredibly romantic spring outdoor ceremony with lots of dancing and laughter at the reception. Cathy is a professional dancer, so let me tell you, there was some serious dancing going on at that reception!

What an honor to be able to capture the details and emotion of such a historic day as someone's wedding. I love it!

something fun ahead!

I have exciting news coming soon about a new space for my business, but first a peak at something beautiful I found to hint at the design of my space....

think IKEA with a hint of anthropologie mixed in there somehow. So exciting!!

And, something completely unrelated to photography, but still fun, is the upcoming Dave Matthews Band show in Raleigh on July 2nd. I admit I was online buying tickets the first day they went on sale...after seeing them (too many times to admit) over the course of 12 years since the days they played in Boone, NC at Appalachian, you better believe that I am getting a seat this time! Woo hoo!

Brooke & Brian

These two are such sweet people. Brian was in a wedding I photographed last spring at the NC Museum of Art and Brooke was, of course, his beautiful date at that wedding. I'm so excited to have the honor of photographing their wedding in May!

We did their engagement session in downtown Raleigh and ended up at one of the striking historic churches with the perfect archways. It was so much fun! I cannot wait for their wedding because Brooke has shared some amazing ideas with me...colors, dresses, decorating, even the details of the fun cocktail hour! But, I can't give anything away, so here are these cute people for now :)

album layouts

Here's a sneak peak at a sample album I'm currently working on. If you are looking for a photographer, I would love to set up a time to hear more about your wedding and show you my sample albums. Each of my albums are designed with clean, fresh layouts that can create a more modern or traditional look depending on your specific tastes.

A parent's love

I received a phone call from a father of the bride last week and was so impressed that he was helping with the wedding plans. As we talked, I was struck by how much he loved his daughter and that his act of helping just naturally flowed from his love for her. I am so thrilled to be photographing his daughter's wedding this August at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC! The following photographs are a taste of what I have the honor of capturing at weddings...the love of a father.

A new girl in the house

We were long overdue to adopt a family dog, so here she is! I am no longer outnumbered by boys in the house :)

Zuzu was rescued by C.A.R.E. (Chatham Animal Rescue and Education) when they found her and her sister abandoned at a house with a "sold" sign in the front yard. Her sister was adopted right away, but Zuzu was just waiting for us to discover her.

She is amazing with my kids. Noah loves having someone younger to play with!


It is so hard to be famous and always have your photo taken...

By the way, check out my new logo designed by the fabulous Karen Dahlquist at Happy Fish Design. Karen is an incredible designer who is so in tune with her intuition, she was able to create a design that incorporates my personality, my colors, and even represents the theme of photography that has run throughout the seasons of my life. Thank you, Karen! You are absolutely amazing!
