There’s just something extra special about mother daughter photos—especially when it’s in a field of wildflowers on a warm summer evening. Maybe it’s the fresh air and freedom to run. Maybe it’s the sunshine and all those belly laughs. Or maybe it’s just the way time seems to slow down when you’re in the middle of snuggles and silliness. Jenny and her daughter brought all…

Extended family photo sessions hold such a tender place in my heart. They’re a little more complex to coordinate—but the moments they capture are some of the most meaningful. When Jill’s family decided to celebrate her milestone birthday with a weekend away, they chose Blowing Rock, NC, a quiet, scenic spot in the Blue Ridge Mountains that matched their love of the outdoors and their…

Pregnancy is such a beautiful, fleeting chapter—and if you’re anything like most mamas I photograph, you’re wondering: When is the best time to take maternity photos? As a Greensboro maternity photographer, this is one of the most common questions I get, and it’s such an important one. Timing matters not only for your comfort, but for how you want to remember this incredible season of life.…

There’s always something so special about photographing families right on the edge of something new. This sweet maternity session just outside of Greensboro had everything I love about this season of life: glowing light, happy anticipation, and lots of love. When Janet reached out for Greensboro maternity photos, I could tell right away this was going to be a joyful session. She and her husband…

Spring is always a season of new beginnings—but this one felt especially tender and meaningful. The Murphy family met me at Dewberry Farm in Kernersville during the tulips’ peak bloom, and from the very first shot, their connection shined through. As a family photographer, I’ve learned that the most beautiful sessions are rarely about perfect outfits or ideal weather. They’re about the why. And for…

Question. What would you grab in a fire? A number of years ago right after we got married, my husband and I were jolted awake at 2 a.m. by the glow of flames outside our window. A neighbor’s shed was on fire, and we had seconds to react. In the rush to safety, we grabbed our laptops, my camera, and—accidentally—a stack of magazines instead of…

Some sessions just feel meant to be. This one? A full-circle moment. ✨ When I first talked to Jennifer about a Greensboro maternity session, neither of us had any idea that we’d actually shared the same dorm floor at UNC years ago. Same building. Same hallway. Same two years. We likely passed each other hundreds of times—and now, here we were, reunited in a wildflower…

Have you ever wondered why some family photos online look so effortlessly stylish while others seem a bit off? In many cases, the answer to styling outfits for family photos lies with color theory. What is color theory? Not to get overly technical here, but in short, color theory is the study of how colors are perceived and used in design. It describes the relationships…

As soon as we stepped onto the sand for the Schneider’s family photos at Holden Beach, the wind picked up. Not just a little wind, but a lot of wind! The most wind I’ve ever shot a session in. Sand was whipping in their faces, stinging their legs, and hair was flying every where (mine included)! I could tell the kids weren’t too happy. They…

It’s a question clients ask all the time: When is the best time to schedule newborn photos? The short answer is, it depends! While there are some general guidelines and ideal time windows, it’s actually never too late to capture these precious early moments. The Sweet Spot: 5-10 Days Old In my experience, the “sweet spot” to schedule newborn photos is between 5 and 10…
