Occasionally there are those couples who inquire with you and you absolutely know from the get-go that you have to photograph them. Namrata and Darshil, were one of those couples. In the first sentence of their email I knew they had done their research and gone through my body of work to decide that they wanted me to do their portraits. I actually encourage people to stalk their photographers 😂. Really though, it helps us as photographers know what you like about our work and how we approach our sessions. We put a lot of work into every image and how those images are presented. ☺️
Read MoreI haven't been keeping up with my blog for a while and I'm working towards fixing that and pulling out the backlog of shoots that I've done over the course of 2017. But here's a great way to start 2018 :)
Read MoreHaving gotten to spend just a couple hours with these two makes me sad they're not local to Wilmington. It was sooooo fun shooting their wedding. They clearly adore each other and surprisingly it was my first time having the opportunity to photograph a court house ceremony :)
Read MoreFor those who have kept up on social media and know about my daughter having spent time in Chapel Hill. Some incredibly generous friends of ours let us stay on their farm so we could be close to Penelope. When I told Liz and Jeremy I was staying on a farm, they got excited and asked if they could come up for their session instead of having me drive back to wilmington. They also asked if they could bring their shotguns :) The answer was obviously yes.
Read MoreSince recently my daughter Penelope was born 12 days ago, we've spend 8ish of those days in Chapel Hill. I can say my clients have been the most awesome and understanding I've ever had. Kali & Ryan are just one of the three awesome couples who went out of their way to meet me in Raleigh so I could stay close to my baby. We started shooting at the JC Raulston Arboretum up here and finished off with Fayetteville Rd. Downtown. I must say this shoot was awesome!!!
