I specialize in newborn sessions, family sessions, and weddings! Whether you're looking for a Youngsville photographer to capture your baby's first moments, a Wake Forest photographer to snap your next family portrait, or a Raleigh photographer to document your big day, I've got you covered. My style is all about creating true-to-life, light, and airy photos that you'll treasure forever.

Booking a session is as easy! Just head over to my contact page, shoot me a message with your preferred date and session type, and I’ll get back to you faster than you can say "cheese!" Whether you're in Raleigh, Wake Forest, or Youngsville, I'll make sure we find a time that works perfectly for you.

Great question! For family sessions and lifestyle photography, I recommend wearing coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Think light and airy tones and a combination of solids and subtle prints to complement my photography style. For newborn sessions, soft pastels and neutrals work beautifully. Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident! Check out my Instagram for inspiration!

I’m all about that true-to-life, light, and airy vibe! I aim to capture genuine moments and emotions, so your photos reflect the real you. Whether it’s a family portrait in Wake Forest, a wedding in Raleigh, or a newborn session in Youngsville, my goal is to create beautiful, timeless images you'll love forever. Most of my posing prompts are centered around getting you to interact with each other so I can get that real, giggly smile!

I know you're excited to see your photos, and I promise they're worth the wait! For most sessions, you can expect to receive your gallery within 2-3 weeks. Weddings typically take about 3 months due to my intentional attention to detail! For each session, you can expect 5-10 sneak peeks within 3 days! I’ll keep you updated every step of the way!

I don’t have a studio, but I can rent one for an additional cost to your session to help you make your vision come to life.

If that’s not quite in your budget, I love coming to your home or holding your session in local parks! I hold an annual photographer's pass for all Raleigh parks, so there's no extra charge for having a session there. Also, I include a 20 mile travel radius from Youngsville, NC in all photography packages. Here are some locations I recommend:

Wake Forest Locations:

E. Carroll Joyner Park

Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

Wake Forest Historical Museum

Wake Forest Reservoir

Raleigh Locations:

Pullen Park

Dorothea Dix Park

Historic Yates Mill County Park

Downtown Raleigh

Nash Square Park

North Carolina State Capital

Raleigh Rose Garden

WRAL Azalea Gardens

Wherever you choose, we'll make sure it's a perfect spot for your photos!

Absolutely! While I love serving my local communities, I'm happy to travel to nearby areas for your session. Just let me know where you're located, and we’ll make it happen. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance, but I'll always be upfront about any additional costs.

Life happens, and I totally get it! If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible, and we’ll find a new date that works. I aim to be as flexible as possible because your experience should be stress-free and fun!

Preparation is key to a successful photo session! For family and newborn sessions, make sure everyone is well-rested and fed. Bring along any special items or props you’d like to include. For weddings, we’ll go over all the details in advance to ensure everything runs smoothly. Relax, have fun, and trust that I’ll capture your best moments beautifully!

Newborn sessions are my absolute favorite! I come to your home in Youngsville, Wake Forest, or Raleigh with all the necessary props and equipment. The sessions are relaxed and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, and snuggles. My goal is to capture those precious, true-to-life moments in a light and airy style that reflects the joy of your new arrival. First, I make a note of your due date, then you will let me know when you have your baby. You will choose a date where you think you will feel up to having photos taken, usually about a week after delivery. Then, I will work with you to schedule a time. This typically happens over text message to make things as easy as possible for you, mama!
