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 […]

Lyric is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. I was delighted she chose me to capture her senior year and to be on my Style Team! This girl is a hard worker with big dreams. I loved incorporating her love for fall colors during her senior portrait session and then her musical […]

Let’s talk about staying creative during quarantine without getting our hands dirty. Did you know that creativity is much more than art?! Creativity means thinking outside the box to create something new. The Latin root of the word “creative,” means “to beget, give birth to.” To me, the word innovative comes to mind. We have […]

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 […]

Roses are red, violets are blue, my team is the sweetest seniors, I know it’s true. Okay, a little corny. But I seriously love these girls. It was so fun getting back together for a little Valentine’s theme shoot. We had some fun with some sweets and the color red. I love how these girls […]

Pretty soon Anna will know the true meaning of her lines “there’s no place like home.” This school year is turning out to be a whirlwind for her and pretty soon, she will be whisked off to the school of her choice (I have no doubt). On Saturday, she was named “Distinguished Young Women” of […]

Hey hey! It’s a new school year! And it is time to introduce the Class of 2020 Senior Style Team. I am so excited to have 12 amazing ladies on my squad this year. They represent SIX different local schools in Lenoir County. This completely blows my mind. It is the first time that I’ve […]

Shooting natural light portraits at sunset is actually super tricky. There are only a few minutes to shoot when the light is just right. Thankfully we got to the dock at the perfect time during Blythe’s senior portrait session. We spent some time in downtown Kinston for the first shots and then drove out to […]

Laughter is one thing that comes to mind when I think of Chari. She wanted flowers in her senior shoot so we drove down to Historic New Bern and found a few spots full of flowers. We may also have made a stop on the way down when we saw a field of day lilies. […]

CONGRATULATIONS to my 2019 Senior Style Team members, who are all about to turn the tassel! I have loved spending this year with them. Every year, each group of seniors surprises mte with how amazing they are. This year, these gals encouraged me and lifted me up. They were real with me. They helped me […]
