Julianne & Tyler's Engagement Session at ECU

Tyler was out celebrating his 22nd birthday when he was introduced to lovely Julianne in downtown Greenville where they were attending school at ECU.  They had me come back to where they met to photograph their engagement session.  We started on ECU's beautiful campus near the Cupola with two of their furry friends, and then in was out on the town for the final images.





























Thanks guys for having me photograph you two!  I had a great time.

Jesse and Ryan's Wedding ~ Pembroke, NC

Jesse and Ryan had me come to UNC Chapel Hill two years ago for an engagement session centered around where they met.  The day of their wedding finally arrived this Spring.  They were married in the flat sandy lands of eastern NC in their local church with a reception following on family land.  The perfect day lent itself well to lovely outdoor portraits and horse drawn carriages with an end to the day in golden sunlight.  Here are a few of my favorite images from their day.





































































Thank you so much Jesse and Ryan for having me at your beautiful wedding!  I wish you the best in your marriage.

A Beautiful New Mother ~ NC Maternity Portraits

My sister, Katie, has been friends with Kerri since we were all growing up together in good ol' Kernersville, NC.  Kerri came down from Ohio to visit Katie's new little baby Holden and the three of us got together to celebrate Kerri's baby.  We spent a day eating cake, getting pedicures, opening baby gifts and catching up.  Kerri looked so sweet in her beautiful dress that I had to take a few pictures of her in the late afternoon sun.









Congratulations Kerri and Rob!  I can't wait to meet little baby Jones.

Holden Massey Nail's Birth

My sister and her husband just welcomed their second son into the world.  Holden was born on a beautiful April day.  Here are a few moments from just after his birth.  I love my new little nephew!

A New Little Girl ~ Durham, NC Newborn Portraits

A new little girl in the family means there will be lots of kisses and snuggles!  I photographed Melissa, Kevin, and Jonah at Duke Gardens when they were waiting for Sarah Fairfax to arrive, here is the blog post from that session: Melissa, Kevin, Jonah & Baby.  On April 5th, little Sarah was born and I happily came over in the following week to photograph her and her family.  These are a few of my favorite images from her newborn session.

She is perfectly beautiful!











Congratulations Melissa, Kevin and Jonah!  Enjoy your newest addition to the family.  I can't wait until our little girls are old enough to play together in the neighborhood park.
