River Ridge | Bridal Photos | Raleigh NC

Faith's bridal photos were photographed at River Ridge Golf in Raleigh,NC.  Who would have thought we would have gotten 83 degree weather in the middle of March. I hope we get the same kind of weather for the wedding. Guess I need to start working on my tan.

I love how the bridal pictures turned out because they are somewhat on the classy side. I normally stay away from sitting bride's on the stairs, unless requested b/c its somewhat too traditional for me, but with Faith's wedding dress flaring at the bottom, the hair piece she made her herself, the hot yellow shoes, and a bouquet of yellow flowers, the stairs made for a great background, and really showcased her accessories well. I will definitely use this pose again.

Family Portraits | Raleigh NC

A portrait of a family. This isnt just any family, these are wedding photography clients who over the past two years I have come to know as my friends. Mike and Lindsay Morse were my winners last year in my facebook contest and before the wedding season started we decided on a family portait session at the beautiful Duke Gardens in Durham, NC. I was worried that March was too early to get pretty photos, but not at Duke Gardens, endless creativity can be had. Big thanks to Mike who took the main role of getting Rhyton to laugh. I was sooo happy that she gave me a smile during the family portrait on the bridge.

Mike and Lindsay are also in the wedding industry please ckeck out their websites

Children baby photographer | Garner NC

Baby Julie had her first photography session just 5 days into this world. Her brother only 2 years old wasn't feeling quite himself that day but still managed to get some really good smiles in the photos. I traveled to Garner, NC for the in home portrait session. Immediately after walking in I knew I would be using a sunflower picture hanging on the wall in the dining room as a background prop.

I love being a children's baby photographer. Thank you to my neighbor, Terri Stevens who made the cocoon the baby's in, and thank you to Lindsay Morse for the referral.

Raleigh | Durham | newborn baby photography

A few days ago I traveled to Durham, NC to photograph a newborn baby girl. As a photographer it really excites me to have a newborn baby smile for the camera a few times during the baby session. I absolutely loved the white tutu and matching hat that Torri had. Newborn photography sessions can be done in my portrait studio, or I can travel to your home for the session.
