Behind the Lens
I believe the most meaningful photographs are created when you feel relaxed, guided, and truly present. Based in Raleigh and serving Cary and surrounding areas, I bring over fourteen years of experience and a calm, child-led approach to every session, creating timeless imagery that preserves connection, emotion, and the fleeting seasons of family life.
As a mother of three, a fur mom, a wife, and a dance teacher, I understand the joy, chaos, and fleeting beauty of everyday moments. This perspective shapes how I guide families, making each session calm, playful, and heartfelt. My role is to gently remove the stress, encourage genuine connection, and capture your story in a way that feels natural, refined, and beautifully true to you.
The Experience
Life moves quickly, and these seasons don’t last long. Every session is intentionally crafted to feel relaxed, meaningful, and beautifully effortless—so you can slow down, connect, and simply be present while your memories are preserved.
Whether we’re capturing families, motherhood milestones, or the fleeting first year, I create an environment where children feel comfortable, parents can relax, and authentic moments naturally unfold. Sessions are paced to allow variety, movement, and candid connection, never rushed or forced.
