I have been holding these photos hostage for MONTHS!!! I blogged Lillie Blakelyn and Cameron’s gorgeous New Year’s Eve wedding yesterday…which means I FINALLY get to share her bridal portraits from last fall! If you aren’t familiar with the tradition of bridal portraits, it is one of my FAVORITES. It is a very Southern tradition […]
I don’t even know how to start this post…THAT is how epic this wedding day was! What an incredible start to the year of 2026. A 600-person New Year’s Eve wedding day (!!!) on the family’s private property…an absolute dream from start to finish. I have had the honor of knowing Lillie Blakelyn’s gorgeous family […]
It’s that time again!!! As we enter a brand new year, one of my favorite things to do is go back and reflect on the year prior. Each year, one of the ways I do this is by curating my “best of” blog posts…my absolute FAVORITE images that I created in the last 365 days. […]
Can you believe it’s 2026?! My head is still spinning from the holidays and I can’t BELIEVE it’s already the new year! This year is going to be jam-packed with our baby boy’s arrival next month, getting settled in our new home in Charleston and so many fun things for my business…including YouTube videos coming […]
What’s better than ONE gorgeous senior session on a beautiful fall day in Charleston? TWO!!! I had the privilege of working with Jack and Katie for their TWIN senior sessions last week – and I don’t even know where to begin with how many favorites I have! Jack and Katie traveled all the way from […]
An absolutely BEAUTIFUL Savannah, Georgia senior session with Miss Claire to kick off the fall season! We had an ideal scenario for the start of Claire’s senior session: overcast skies and cooler temps (!!!) – finally starting to feel like the fall in the low-country! Claire wanted to capture the gorgeous, infamous trees at Wormsloe […]
What a BEAUTIFUL way to kick off the fall senior season!!! Sophie’s senior session was my first Savannah session in a LONG time that was not well over 100 degrees. The breeze made it feel like it was in the low 80’s (!!!) which is definitely a MAJOR win for fall weather here in the […]
I am not sure if I’ve EVER had this hard of a time narrowing down my favorite images from a shoot! Working with Megan for her ballet-filled senior portraits in downtown Charleston was unbelievable. I photographed Megan for the first time when she was a sophomore in high school, and I was looking for models […]
