The Home of Artist Cameron Waff in Edenton, NC

It’s hard to imagine a home infused with more soul. I’m truly grateful for the invitation to capture my dear friend’s home. The cozy richness of this space is nourishing to step into. I give my utmost appreciation to Cam for his poetic eye, dedication to thoughtful renovation, and unique artistic journey in shaping such a dwelling.

Margaret + Oliver's November Wedding at Bridge Club in Raleigh, NC

Margaret and Oliver’s wedding was nestled right in the middle of downtown Raleigh. I was delighted we were able to take advantage of Bridge Club’s rooftop and thrilled that Margaret and Oliver were game to climb that latter…

Making Her Dress

Making Her Dress

Margaret is my first bride to make her own wedding dress from scratch! She bought the fabric, found a vintage design, and scheduled the time for her mother to come down from Canada for a week to work on the project together in her new studio space. Delighted to witness and capture some of the process.

Bonnie + Brandon's Engagement Session on Elodie Farms

When Bonnie said she wanted photos with goats, I knew just who to ask: Elodie Farms. Besides their beautiful barns, pastures, and woods of goats, they also have a lake! We took full advantage of our visit and had a blast.

Such a treat to meet a family just weeks before their bambino's arrival. And then: to see him at 2-and-a-half weeks. Looking forward to seeing him grow.
