Two of my favorite things in life are flowers and ice cream. Faith and I have that in common! We started her senior portrait session on the farm in a field. There were bunches of yellow flowers and I love to give my girls a little bouquet to hold for few shots. And if you […]

One thing Meredith wanted to incorporate into her senior portraits was her family’s history in peanut farming. We went out into the field all dressed up and had some fun. I love how the rows of crops give the images depth. I also didn’t know until I moved to North Carolina that peanut plants are […]

Dance Mini Portrait Sessions are a beautiful way to document your dancer’s journey. The portraits are about the dancer more than anything else. A simple or elegant leotard is best for this session. We will be in downtown Kinston using natural light for all shots. I will have a dancer with me to help advise […]
