I’ve lived here almost four years and I had not yet been to Carova…UNTIL NOW 🙂 We met and I jumped in the jeep so excited about being able to finally get out on the beach over here where everyone just loves it, and I see what the hype is about. Carova is beautiful. The…

These two (wait, THREE!!) met with me by the sea in Kill Devil Hills at sunrise…not an easy task! Especially when you’re on a little vacation for Spring Break and your photographer should be letting you sleep in, hahaha! 🙂 I am SO thankful for you guys and I can’t wait to meet that sweet…

Before I even finished editing these, I emailed Kelli in tears. I felt like this family session came to me on a day when I needed it most and their joy and kindness was SO incredibly contagious! Five beautiful children and a couple that has absolutely no problem holding hands and squeezing each other and…

This day was so good, I don’t even know where to begin. This is my cousin, Kevin marrying the love of his life, Megan…and it’s such an incredible thing to see two people who just do life so well together making this commitment. On a chilly March day in Richmond, Virginia at the Boathouse at…

Mike and I often talk about the fact that we know we’re mommy and daddy, but the word parent seems so foreign to us still. That sounds weird to say out loud (or type, lol) and to admit, but it does. I know I’m not alone here, too. I am fierce about my love for my…

Last week we released a video that was quite literally created on a whim during Friday of the nor’easter here on the Outer Banks due to a HUGE wave of inspiration. After getting through some work on Friday morning, I felt compelled to just share this content, out of nowhere, and as a creative that…

**WARNING, some images are slightly graphic and may be upsetting** One year later (tomorrow) was the scariest night of our lives. Traveling down a small two lane country road in the rain in Rolesville, NC…a red car was FLYING from the left. I only had a second to tell Mike that it wasn’t stopping before…
