Sneads Ferry, NC photographer | Project.12 | Water

I am following along over at Project.12 with a monthly session featuring my own family.  The theme this month is “water,” and it was perfect because I’ve had this idea brewing to create some wall art for my bathroom featuring some timeless images of my little guy’s hands and feet.  And, of course, some water.  I […]

Camp Lejeune NC photographer | Duesterhaus Family

What a beautiful family!  Maybe I’m biased because their little boy is almost the same age as mine, but isn’t he just the cutest?? I had such an enjoyable afternoon with them documenting all the love and fun they shared!  Little guy was bursting with joy and energy and just couldn’t stay away from the […]

Jacksonville, NC photographer | Maternity | Godbey

This has been a fun year of firsts in my photography business.  This past weekend, I did my first maternity session with some very dear friends of mine (who also happened to be the most *perfect* models!)  They are so in love that they didn’t really need much posing–they were just themselves, enjoying life and […]

Wilmington, NC family photographer | my guys

Sneads Ferry, NC Newborn Photographer | Natural Light Studio

Just a warning… this blog post is far more detailed and scientific than most of mine are: it’s meant for those who are interested in the mechanics of using a large window as a natural light source for a newborn (or really any type of) photography studio.  If you are here to view beautiful baby […]
