Kinley came to me wanting the southern and historic charm in her senior portraits which only meant one thing….Charleston, SC. While I have shot quite a few sessions and weddings in Charleston, this one definitely hits in the top two with the outfit choices Kinley made. A true southern belle with a heart of gold […]

While looking back at photos from the last 2 years, I realized one of my absolute favorite weddings was never blogged!

Baby toes, squishy cuddles, and sibling kisses are what my summer consisted of with the sweetest newborn sessions. Baby Vera slept during the entire session and we even got a few smiles out of her while she was dreaming away. Give me all the cute headbands and pink baby blankets because I am dying over […]
