This past weekend, I met up with Traci and Tracy (yes…you read that right) to capture a very special time in their lives. Interestingly enough, Traci and I have been in touch for the past two years trying to coordinate a photo session. Our original plan was much different, so when she contacted me several months ago to finally put a date on the calendar, I was thrilled to hear that she and her husband were expecting their first child. Granted, no one enjoys going outside for photos on a super cold day, but Traci and her husband welcomed me to their beautiful farm...

This past week, I met up with my dear friend, Courtney, for maternity photos at the North Carolina Arboretum. It was quite a treat to photograph Courtney. Not only have we been friends since our first year at Peace College, but she is also a very talented photographer (she no lives in NC, but check out her portfolio). In fact, I’ve admired her work since long before I ever thought about becoming a photographer myself. So, when she asked me to do her maternity photos, I nearly cried. Me? Photograph YOU? YES!!! We decided to meet up at the NC Arboretum at sunset. I...

Several years ago, I brought my camera along to a friend’s bachelorette weekend in Charleston, SC. Not that anyone asked me to, but I took it upon myself to document the experience. It was during that weekend that I met Brin. Brin reminded me this weekend that she was paying attention, and that she always thought that I should be doing photography full time. Lucky for me, she made sure to contact me the moment she had a reason to have photos taken (although I might argue that you don’t really need a reason). Brin and her husband, Brent, are expecting a baby boy in...

On Sunday, I met up with a family that I haven’t seen in 18 months. In that time, Sebastian has turned two years old…and will be a big brother in a few months. With so much to celebrate, it was certainly time for a photo session. We started our session off with some photos of the expecting mother. Sebastian needed a little time to warm up, so while he ran off to explore with his daddy, I caught up with his mommy. I will hopefully be photographing baby Lincoln when he arrives this fall. I know he’s going to be just as cute as his older brother – Sebastian...
