Summer is my favorite time of year because it means great families like the Rickelmans come on vacation and I get to spend a night on the beach! This is the second time I’ve been fortunate to work with this amazing family and it’s amazing seeing how much Sawyer has grown in the past two…
I have known Violet’s mom since we both moved here a couple of years ago and I was so excited to finally have them in front of my camera! Violet’s mom is as obsessed with Disney as I am, if not more so (is that possible?!) so when she said she had an Alice in…
The beach is my happy place, and creating memories and photos there is a great day for me. I was excited when Crystal inquired about a session at the beach for her and her children. Like all kids at the beach, they immediately started running for the water. With a promise that we could do…
I have loved mermaids as long as I can remember, and having the opportunity to turn children into them is amazing. For me, it’s literally helping others dreams come true and it’s an amazing feeling. When Michelle messaged me to set up this session, I knew we were going to have a lot of fun…

The light at the sunflower fields is simply gorgeous during the…
Crystal reached out about booking her daughter, Erin, a mermaid session. They came from almost two hours away, and well, it’s North Carolina weather and we all held our breath as we watched the storm clouds roll in. Fortunately, they were super early to the session and I headed down to the beach early myself…
Samantha reached out wanting to get photos of her family and I’m so glad she did because we had so much fun! We decided on the beach for their photos because it’s beautiful but it’s also an easy place to allow kids some fun. We met at Onslow Beach on Camp Lejeune and jumped right…
