Britney & Adam {North Carolina Lifestyle Photographer}

This past weekend I was able to head to North Carolina for photography sessions.  One of the things I really miss about NC is fall, so I was extremely happy to be there to see the beautiful colors of the leaves and get a taste of fall (which we don’t get here in Texas… it was definitely close to 80 degrees today!!) and REAL BBQ.  I had so much fun being able to see people I hadn’t seen in a while and shoot families that are very near and dear to my heart.

The first session I did was for my friend Britney and her husband Adam.  Let me just say that these two are troopers!!!  It was FREEZING when I met up with them at 7:30 in the morning and Britney was wearing a SKIRT… yes a skirt (but she looked good so it didn’t really matter that she was freezing !! 😉 ).  I have known Britney since 6th grade and hanging out with her for just an hour brought back soo many memories and made me sad that there’s been so many years that have gone by since we last spent a lot of time together; but I am so thankful that I was able to spend a little time with her and can’t wait till the next time I can sit across from her and catch up even more.  Britney is a sweetheart… she has always been one of the kindest, dearest and truest people I have ever known.  She loves to love people, has a beautiful/infectious laugh and smile, and has a heart of gold and loves her husband so much.  Britney, Thank you for wanting me to capture these photos for you, it was an honor to do this and such a blessing to spend a little bit of time with you.  I am thankful that you have been in my life for so long and that I can call you a friend (and I love that even though it’s a year a part, that we get to celebrate our anniversaries on the same day!!).  Adam I had a blast with you and you better not ever sale that farm house… it’s AWESOME!!!  🙂 Here are more than a few (b/c I couldn’t make up my mind) photos from our session…

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]

After 18 years and hundreds & hundreds of weddings, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, personal, and beautifully designed wedding days across the Southeast. And when couples ask me what I remember most about a wedding, the answer is almost always the details. I think about the invitation suite printed […]
