RALEIGH AREA FAMILY & SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m a Raleigh, NC photographer who loves capturing families and graduating seniors just as they are—full of personality, connection, and heart. While I’ll always make sure we get that perfect posed photo for Grandma, my favorite moments are the candid, in-between ones: the laughs, the movement, and the real emotion that tells your story.

My senior sessions have a fun, editorial vibe and are completely customized to match each client’s vision and goals. Think less stiff posing, more confidence, style, and images that actually feel like you.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m hanging out with my crew—my husband, our three kids, and our fur babies. You’ll usually find us running from one activity to the next, but when we slow down, we love traveling (especially in our RV) and trying out the many recipes I’ve saved from Instagram and Pinterest.

I’m glad you’re here!
