I have been sitting on this gorgeous bridal portrait session for a few months now, and I am so thrilled to finally be able to share it!

I have known Misty pretty much my entire life. We went to the same church and school growing up. We were also in the youth group together. Misty is always such a cheerful, fun-loving person. She is one of those people who just reminds you of a ray of sunshine! So when she approached me […]

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of taking Melissa (of the fashion and beauty blog Mix and Match Mel) and Dan’s maternity photos at Boyce Farms in Raleigh, NC. They opted to have the session at the Christmas tree farm, and Boyce farms offered us the perfect location for this! If you’re still in the […]
