nature's beauty

As a mom with two little kids I rarely get to shoot nature shots, but today, I opted to look for the beauty in our own front yard.

Each year our family participates in Garner's Relay for Life in honor of my dad, a cancer survivor. It was an awesome night of fun and celebration!

Survivors and friends.

A very rare look at my family walking with my dad at this year's relay!

a moment of prayer for all of those battling cancer.

Graduation - Chapel Hill Photographer

I had an amazing time photographing this Grad! I've known her most of her life and it was so much fun walking around UNC-CH campus to capture some amazing photos.

toddler fun - raleigh family photographer

This morning I had the opportunity to take this sweetie's 2 year old photos. It was freezing, but this little cutie didn't mind a bit. She came ready to have fun and strike a pose. She was one of the most delightful toddlers to photograph - especially since it was so cold!

Baby Shower | Garner Photographer

This weekend a friend asked me to photograph a baby shower that she was hosting. What an honor and what a special moment to capture for this growing family!
