Raleigh Wedding Photographers bio picture

Who I am . . . .

At heart, I am a kid.
At play, I am an artist.
At work, I'm giving a 100% of who I am to my art.
At home, I am a Mom and a wife and an accountant
and a nurse and a chauffeur and a cleaning lady
and a landscaper and an interior decorator and a chef.
I'm not perfect at it, but I work very hard at it everyday.

What you should know about me . . . . .
I'm entirely laid back and fun.
I like making people laugh.
I love a challenge.
My artistic eye and penchant for relating to people, I recognize and
embrace as my gift.
Being a photographer doesn't define who I am, but it certainly has
shaped the person I've become.
I'm a better person because of my photography and my clients;
my muses!

Am I wise? . . . . .
I've come so far and gained so much as a person by experiencing the
good alongside the bad.
I believe that in every obstacle or sticky situation in life, there is
an opportunity for growth in some way.
That a day not thinking about the future is a day neglected.

I am unique. I am close to my heart.
Bottomline, this is me!

Jenna Came Back

For a fun little play session. I had recently bought some new props from the one and only IKEA and I was anxious to play around a bit. Jenna’s a classic and pure joy to work with. She’s vintage and she’s a vixen. Below is a collection of my favorite images. Old Hollywood glam, eh?...

She’s family. My husband’s cousin and probably goes down as one of the best weddings I’ve been a guest. So life is progressing. Baby Olivia is set to arrive in the next few weeks and we’re all waiting and anxious and excited. Mostly me because I get to torment her with my camera, heating pad,...

AKA Adria

10.04.09

And I use the AKA because this girl can morph into several different Hollywood celebs in the click of my shutter. I realized during and post session that Adria had looks reminiscent of Mariah Carey, Jessica Biel, and Diane Lane. To sum it up, she’s gorgeous and really gave great face during our session! S-

Jenni – 1st Vintage Vixen shoot in my new studio

06.29.09

I met Jenni at the January Forever Bridal Show. The thing that struck me funny in hindsight was the fact that it was her Mom’s eyes who were caught by the Vintage Vixen display I had. Jenni was in full steam ahead bride mode jumping right on over to my table of wedding albums. It...
