A sweet little family of 4 soon to be 5. Their family is growing, so naturally a garden setting was perfect for their family love montage. The Duke Gardens also holds a dear place in their heart for the many memories they have had there.

This family is a bundle of sunshine. So for their session we incorporated a lot of it! Their love and support of each other in the "game" of life and colorful personalities had to play a part too.

This was my sweet and neighbor and dear friend living in NC.  And man she is awesome!  And tough the way she juggles her little's we loved having them over and the kids would all run around and there was not a direction you would look that little one's were not running about.

I chased them in making this memory keepsake about how it is juggling these little's.  How does the phrase go... The days are long but the years are short.  What better way to look back on those days.

I photographed some couples portraits way back before they were officially engaged.  These two high school sweethearts have been together for some time and now they are are officially tying the knot!  I am glad we could do pictures together during my short visit to Utah! Park city has so much to offer.  The quaint little shops and surrounds are buzzing and filled with just as much energy as they are.

Usually I stick to a more light and vibrant edit style but I LOVE the moody romantic vibe of this edit so I am sharing it with you. We squeezed this engagement session in with Dakota and Spencer out at the Eno River State Park just before I moved! And I am so glad we did. It was super muggy but that is North Carolina for you.

Comparing the beautiful Bay area weather to North Carolina is very different, not as muggy at all. I will miss photographing at this location. It has a mix of that historic rustic charm with the beautiful waterfalls and the calming river. While these two went to change in a second outfit, I sat by the river and it was so peaceful. I just watched a beautiful crane gracefully move about the water and it just stared at me... or at least it's nose did haha. Anyway, life gets moving so quickly it is easy to let the daily beauties of life just slip right by... taking them for granted and all as we bury ourselves in our devices. So, sitting by the river simply fed my soul.

What is something you like to do to reconnect with nature and simply take a moment of silence to regather your thoughts?

These two just tied the knot! How crazy time flies. And they were not even officially engaged when we did these pictures together at Lake Powell, but anyway, we had fun doing this short session together. And I love how vibrant it is! We had to hurry as a storm was making it's way in.

Chris and Yina are one of those bubbly and full of laughter couples.  I loved capturing their smiles.  We met at Duke and naturally had to do their session on the beautiful campus grounds.

Chris got his job coming out of school in San Francisco, which was awesome because we could both chat about the transition moving across the country and such.  But funny story... it is a small world.  ALL the way across the country, months later, here I was with my kiddos at Ikea and who do I bump into in the elevator? ... Chris!  It is funny to bump into old friends even at the most unexpected moment!










When you are finishing school it is the perfect time to update head shots as you start your official career.

Couple | Gabriela and Michael Location | Raleigh, NC

There is always something about those long dirt roads with tree's lined on both sides.  Like each tree is another chapter in life and it is a visual representation of the history those two share holding hands walking down the lane.  Reminds me a bit of the Notebook.



Michael is in the military so we snuck in there engagement session just in time before he had to leave again!


















Congratulations you two!  Thank you for the joy that was capturing the love you two share.
