Coming Soon x2 {The Hudson Family}

I only just met this family and I adore them. Laura and David are amazing. They have so much going on in their lives and they make it seem so effortless. I don’t know how they do it, but I really think I need to take some lessons from them. Oh- did I mention they have 3 beautiful daughters and Laura is 31 weeks…

Carolina Treatment Center- Pinehurst Open House

Many of you know that I am also a nurse. In particular a substance abuse nurse, even though I am not actually working right now. My former boss and amazing friend, Amy Morris, is the clinical director at CTC- Pinehurst. She has been there for about a year and the transformation she has made in that facility is nothing short of astonishing. In that…

Southern Soul {Sheldon, Brianna, Dillon, Selena}

I was contacted a while back by a girl, named Brianna (spelled wrong but alas) no less, about doing a session for her, her boyfriend, his brother and his  girlfriend and horses. I have been fighting with mother nature for some great lighting for what feels like a lifetime now. It seems like session after session the lighting was totally fighting me. Well- mother…

Southern Love {The Munn Family}

I was lucky enough to spend an evening photographing this super awesome family. One of my favorite parts of this job is that I get to meet and become friends with so many cool people. This was no exception. Scott, Megan, and Cadence are such a great family and have an amazing chemistry together. It doesn’t take being around them for very long to…

2012 Walk For Lupus

Ok, so I had all these big plans to blog about super cool stuff coming up this fall (don’t worry, that blog will still be coming) but, this one needs to come first.  For those of you who are unaware I have an incurable autoimmune disease, lupus. It has been quite a rough ride but for now I seem to have it fairly under…

Coming Soon…..Baby Hardy #2!

This family is so special to me. Joanna is one of my dearest friends, and probably the only reason I made it through nursing school in one piece. We are so much alike and have the same sarcastic personality so we get along wonderfully. Their little boy, Micah, is 5 and Hailey’s boyfriend (as she will gladly tell you) and is so precious, and…

Moore County Fair!

We went on a family outing to the giant Moore County Fair the other night. It is so big in fact they don’t even have a ferris wheel. But- small town, small fair. Never the less it was fun to go and Hailey had a blast. Of course, me always with my camera in tow had to get a few pictures. Enjoy! 🙂  ir

Antares Dressage Show

This blog post is a little bit different from the other ones, because this is about me and there are even some pictures OF me in it. (Gasp). Every now and then I manage to get out from behind the camera and get in front of it. But- just like in this post- it’s usually on the back of a horse. In one of…

Have you been thinking about scheduling a session but are totally overwhelmed with where to get started? I figured I would take this chance to answer some of the most common questions I get asked about setting up a session. Hopefully this will help those of you who are sitting on the fence about booking a session and if you have any other questions…

The Littlest Cowpokes {Micah & Hailey}

So, of course this shoot was special to me because it had my daughter Hailey in it, but aside from the fact that she was in it I am totally in love, head over heels smitten over these shots. As in full on giddy. Giddy I tell you. I swear, if by some random chance these two end up getting married one day (how…
