Kirstyn + Fam | Avon Hatteras Family Session
This girl Kirstyn and I…we go WAY back 🙂 And Andy.

Afternoons By The Sea | Lunch on the Outer Banks
From chasing seagulls during all dayers on the beach to enjoying the shade and shopping in the charming town of Duck, we have so much fun on the Outer Banks all year round during our post-morning routines. It’s no secret there’s a TON to do here, but we are also in a stage of life…
All The Wonderful Weddings of 2016! | Amanda Hedgepeth Photography
Summing it up — I have this feeling in my heart that’s hard to bring to life with words.

Anna + Chris | Kill Devil Hills Maternity
I’m pretty sure that it was an easy out to blame crying all the time on my pregnant hormones last year, but when I started tearing up at Chris and Anna’s maternity shoot here in the Outer Banks recently, I had no excuse 🙂 The truth is, growing with a client that becomes a friend…
Maternity Leave-ish | Business Owning Mamas
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been lucky enough to read some sweet and trusting emails from moms-to-be who own their own businesses wondering how long they need to take for maternity leave when their new little one arrives! Being your own boss is SUCH a blessing in so many ways, but as so…
