Jayme – Bridal Session (pre-Jamaica)
I had a chance to squeeze in a bridal session for Jayme before we left for Jamaica last week. We had an absolute blast! Such variety in our shoot… little bit urban and a lot of country. Gotta love horses. 
Sharing just a few and I plan on posting a huge sneak peek from the wedding later this week… so stay tuned.
This last shot is special. Jayme dressed up in her grandmother’s wedding gown for a few fun shots.
Teena, this one is for you and your mom.
Mary and Anthony – Biltmore Estate
Mary and Anthony flew across the country for their destination wedding. I had the pleasure of meeting them both a few months back and I knew right away that the day would come together beautifully. Such a gorgeous couple = happy me!
I think my favorite part of the day was when Mary’s father started singing during his speech. I love those moments!
Nicole with Verge Events made the day go smoothly and I loved working side-by-side with Galen from Two Ring Studios. What a fun wedding to be a part of… 
I‘m off to Jamaica for a wedding and will be back in the office on Monday, June 21st. Have a great week!
the “first look” took place at the Biltmore Inn…
i love this shot that my assistant took…. you rock Keicha!
i love catching moments like these…
Newborn Sutton
Such a sweetie and I love the name!!!! Sutton was born last week at 7 pounds / 21 inches and with a full head of brown hair! This little kiddo is completely adored and also happens to be the new son to one of our dearest friend’s, Jamey.
I love when I can give the gift of pictures… Hope you love them! Best to Haley and Jamey!
loving this little smile he kept giving us….
The Nolan Family ~ my family
I think it’s safe to say I sorta, kinda LOVE this family! My nephew, Bennett, keeps growing by the day. I’ve loved every moment and feel honored to document him and his beautiful mommy and daddy. My sister and brother-in-law are “natural” parents and I am in complete awe of how easy the role comes to them. Of course, Bennett makes the job pretty easy. He is such a happy little guy! I wanted to share a slideshow of some of my favorites from our latest “Aunt Katy” session. Love to the Nolans.

Candy and Matt – Session in Savannah, Ga
So…. I just adore Candy and Matt. I’ve photographed their little boy for years, but, this was my first chance to work with just the two of them. Candy had approached me a while ago about shooting a 10 year anniversary session. I jumped at the opportunity, especially since Candy offered to fly me to Savannah, Ga for the weekend. Savannah is special to them for two reasons: 1- they grew up there… and 2- they were married there.
I haven’t been to Savannah in so long… I needed a mini-vacation. All I can say is… thank you to Candy and Matt! The company was great and the seafood… AMAZING. Can’t wait to work with you again…
This is the courtyard they were married 10 years ago…
We headed to the beach for some fun!
An Irish Wedding Slideshow
I have so many images from this wedding. It has been a daunting task to edit. I think in part, I loved this trip so much that it’s hard to bring myself to finish.
Fiona and Chris have such a sweet love. I decided to put together a slideshow for them, they have been so patient. There is a black and white theme going on, but if you make it to the end… it will hopefully make sense? I also decided to use the music from the processional during the ceremony. It is so moving. Enjoy!

Adria – Raleigh Bridal Session
I’ve been back and forth across this state two times over this week! Lots of time to reflect on life and jam out to my radio! I had the pleasure of shooting Adria’s bridal portraits at the Rose Garden last friday. The day started a bit late due to her involvement (not her fault) in a car accident. Luckily, she was unharmed and managed to show for the session. We had a blast! After shooting formals at the garden, we set out for the NC State campus for some fun! Adria- you are just gorgeous! Thanks for such a fun time! Here are a few from last week:
Mitzi – CD session
I’m loving shooting CD covers… Mitzi is a Gospel singer and just the sweetest person. I love that she is pursuing her love of Gospel and I look forward to hearing her CD. We had a great time driving around Marion a few weeks ago and talk about the perfect light! I couldn’t have asked for better shooting conditions.
Here are just a few. Check out her amazing eyes!
BABIES!!!
Wow! I definetely had my “baby fix” this past week. I went to visit my sister in Wilmington, NC and we put together a portrait party for her friends… There wasn’t a kid over the age of two… that is a full day! We had smiles, tears, spit-up, and lots of laughter!
I enjoyed the entire group and I’m so glad I had a chance to photograph my newphew, Bennett. He is the cutie below with the faux-hawk. Thanks to those that could make it! I had a great time meeting you all!
