Since starting this business in 2011, my goal has always been to work with some of the most elite photographers around and to craft a team who work closely together and share the same desires - to ensure our clients feel loved, understood, and celebrated. We would be honored to tell your story.
My mission is to serve and love couples and families through photography by making them feel beautiful and value with every interaction.
I'm a fine art wedding and portrait photographer serving couples and families in Charlotte, North Carolina, and beyond. My heartbeat is crafting meaningful images for the most important moments of your life. I value true connection... not only between my team and my clients, but also between the two of you. I value the art of allowing moments to unfold naturally (with a little bit of direction here and there, of course). I value details as simple as the way an invitation liner matches the escort cards or how a brand new wife squeezes her husband’s hand just a little tighter. If I can communicate that feeling while allowing my clients to relax and enjoy their time with me, I consider my job well done.
I was born and raised in the Charlotte NC area, and have loved building my family and business here! I am married to a wonderful man named Chad (not like other Chads haha), and we have two brilliantly curious little boys named Elliott and Merrick. Adding to our everyday chaos is our mini bernedoodle named Juno (short for Juniper, but the boys kept calling her Juniffer), and our giant bernedoodle pup named Max, who did not - in fact - max out at 80 pounds.
I first got into photography as a child, and despite going to school with the desire for medicine, I've found my way back to this passion. I adore all things Harry Potter, murder mysteries, exploring all the stunning cities of the world, but also enjoy relaxing at home with family and friends.
Being responsive to your needs is what I thrive on. My team and I aim to provide a refined experience from start to finish, and a welcoming environment for each and every client. Your love is one-in-a-million - it deserves this.
You are a couple who laughs together, explores the known and unknown together, seeks to create experiences that you will remember well into your old age. You are looking for images that capture your true selves together, and we are looking to deliver images as unique to you as you find each other.
After capturing weddings for more than 15 years, I've discovered the best way to fully serve my clients is by offering fuller wedding day coverage than the 6-8 hour minimum. This ensures every detail can be captured without any rush or added unnecessary anxiety to your day.
With over 15 years of professional wedding photography experience, I offer more than beautiful images by providing a seamless and elevated experience from start to finish. My collections offered reflect the expertise that allows me to confidently handle any lighting situation, venue, or timeline challenge while creating timeless, refined imagery. Known for my calm, compassionate approach, I help couples feel comfortable and present throughout their wedding day while bringing a sense of ease to even the most emotional moments. From expert posing guidance that looks natural and effortless to attentive service tailored to your unique vision, I deliver the level of care, professionalism, and detail expected of a luxury wedding photography experience.

My team and I are out of Charlotte NC, but we all adore traveling! In fact, all of my couples will have travel fees waved for the East Coast to ensure flexibility in locations for what matters most to you. Our passports stay busy, and we'd love to meet overseas as well if you prefer. Current obsession: France, Spain, and Italy
While the logistics of the nitty gritty details will be for your planner and you, I love starting with a basic timeline, working through what moments you desire to add to your day, and provide suggestions on locations if needed. Together we will cultivate a list of must-haves, and you'll have access to multiple guides and questionnaires to help walk through everything we will do.
I won't lie - every single person on my team is a certified over-shooter, so be prepared for an overshare. We tell everyone to expect anywhere from 75-125 images per hour of the day. You will receive all edited images in your own private online gallery, and things will be sorted into folders to provide ease in reliving your day. This gallery will remain online for at least one year, and you are welcome to share and download to your heart's content.
Once we get past the East Coast, the additional fee of a flight and hotel for the duration of the stay is all we need!
Let's do this! Let me know which collection speaks to you, and we will set up either a time to chat on the phone or meet in person {completely your choice in how we speak} to ensure we are a good fit. Once that is complete, you'll receive an abundance of informative links, my calendar to schedule your engagement session when you please, and the contract and invoice.
