Elopement, n. — No longer shotgun weddings or secretive nuptials, elopements are not defined by their last-minute runaway stereotype anymore. Instead, they’re fueled by intimacy, personality and intentionality. Anne and Caleb traveled across the country from their home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to snag some adventure portraits in the foothills of […]

I have come to love my little pocket of this city, the little world that we’ve explored and crafted to be all our own. Pair that with the wonderful people who I’ve been lucky to call my clients and we’ve got some magical photo sessions.

Chelsey dreamt of engagement photos in a field with hay or “wispy” flowers, as she described to me. We landed on the perfect meadow off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina.

Jessica and Lee are my kinda people. They are hikers, adventurers, fitness junkies, lovers of all things local, real food, farmers markets and sour beer. They are simple, down-home and living the rural life dream (with a modern twist, of course) outside of Rome, Georgia.  AND Lee is an entrepreneur of all sorts!  See, I […]

Anticipation.  Excitement.  Joy.  And above all, love.  This is what I witnessed and experienced when I spent time adventuring with Chelsey and Dallas during their March maternity session. At 34 weeks pregnant, Chelsey was (and still is…and really always has been) a radiant bombshell.  I know, I know, you don’t usually associate words like “bombshell” […]

December 11th, 2015. My first memory of Tara is when she gave the best MOH toast I have EVER heard at her sister’s wedding. Y’all. The girl is a riot. I was obviously thrilled to shoot her and Ryan’s engagement session, and it did not disappoint. We originally planned to shoot at the cute old-fashioned […]

December 3, 2015. I fell in love with Sarah Kate’s joyful, energetic spirit the moment I met her last fall at a Young Life event.  Needless to say, I was absolutely delighted when she inquired about senior photography with me.  I knew a fun time was in store for me and the girl who keeps her […]

May 20, 2015. About a month ago, I worked as a second shooter for a beautiful wedding in Dahlonega, Georgia, with the lovely Kathryn McCrary. (More details and THE images to come!) While I was photographing the groomsmen, one of them asked me, “Are you Tommy Ferguson’s wife?”   It finally dawned on me why this […]

April 7, 2015.   The trees outside my apartment aren’t the only things budding in this fresh, new season.  Thankfully, it seems that my photography business is too!  In fact, this spring marks a year of new things—new marriage, new city, new friends, new business and, now, a new blog.  I spent last summer freelancing […]
