The Ward’s… {North Carolina Family Photographer}

This family is awesome!! 🙂  I have known the Ward’s for years and I love all of them so much.  They are crazy, fun and goofy… and I LOVE IT!!!

Kara has been a dear friend to the family and over the past few years I have gotten to know her more and more and love her more and more… she’s a friend and a mentor and I am sooo thankful for her.  I have babysat one of their four children on numerous occasions… I think my mom would have stolen Mason from Kara if she could have.  Kaitlin (the daughter) is a complete sweetheart and I am so thankful that the summer she was headed to college she was able to come live with me and I love this girl to pieces (fun fact about her… she caught the bouquet at my wedding)!!  Connor and Ian are polar opposites (I think.. :))… Connor is just goofy and a little ball of fire and Ian, well he’s the oldest and he just takes it all in.  Bruce… 🙂 I think you’re a saint to put up with these 5!! Just kidding!!  Bruce is awesome too though, he loves his family and it shows!!

Soo all of that to say… when I was in NC I was able to do a session with this amazing family and we had a BLAST, being around them for that hour made me miss them a whole whole bunch.  Love all 6 of you very much and I am so grateful that each of you is a part of my life… I think y’all should come visit us down here in Texas!!! 🙂  Here’s a few shots from their session…

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 […]
