Question 1

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER? HOW'D YOU GET INTO IT?

Accepted Answer

The first wedding I photographed was for friends in the fall of 2017 at Big Butte Mountain Retreat in Waynesville, NC. They needed someone to document their day, and I jumped at the chance to expand my photography beyond portraits and lifestyle work. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d love capturing the raw emotions—pure joy on the faces of family and friends, and the quiet, intimate moments between the couple. Since then, my passion for photography has grown into a full-time career. Now, spring, summer, and fall are spent traveling across South Carolina, neighboring states, and beyond, capturing love stories.

Question 2

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

Accepted Answer

I offer photography services for elopements, couple portraits, engagement sessions, family, newborn, maternity, and more. All sessions are on-location of your choice, and my work is created by natural outdoor lighting rather than an indoor studio. If you have an idea or vision that is not listed here, contact me today and I’d love to hear about what you have in mind!

Question 3

I'VE NEVER HAD MY PHOTO TAKEN - WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!?!

Accepted Answer

Trust me, I totally get it—being in front of a camera can feel awkward! Chances are, you don’t have professional modeling experience, and guess what? You don’t need it to get amazing photos. I avoid the word “posing” because it often brings to mind those cringeworthy school pictures—chin resting on your hands, forced grin, maybe even a pink scrunchie involved. Instead, I’ll gently guide you into natural positions that feel comfortable and look great. The best photos come from real connections, so I encourage movement, laughter, dancing, twirls—whatever feels like you.

Question 4

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

Accepted Answer

I would describe my photography style as raw, authentic, and candid, with a natural flow that allows you to fully enjoy your day. While I provide gentle guidance for portraits and group shots, my goal is to document real moments as they unfold—without making you feel like there’s always a camera in your face. Your wedding day should feel like an experience, not a photoshoot, and I strive to capture every emotion without disrupting the magic of the moment. When it comes to editing, I love rich, moody tones, earthy hues, and warm golden light that bring out the depth and emotion in every image.

Question 5

DO YOU CARRY INSURANCE?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Both equipment and professional liability insurance.
