Bethany and Zach Engagement Session



I had such a great time photographing Bethany and Zach's engagement session several weeks ago. We shot on the amazing Queens University of Charlotte campus, where they are both students. They are awesome subjects. I was so glad we got to play a bit and catch their youthful spirit.

I am looking forward to the wedding in Charlotte in just a few weeks. We just shot Bethany's bridal portraits a couple of weeks ago. She is an amazing muse and her portraits are stunning and I can't wait to post them after the wedding.

Portraiture work at Palettes

I was so excited when Shay Brown of Palettes of Perfection pitched the idea of having a fine art gallery devoted to photographers personal work in her new space. While I love weddings, I also want a place to show other work as well. Of course, there is plenty of wall space at Palettes for weddings as well!! Here are the pieces I chose to show this show.







A special thanks to Honour Mann of HH Fine Arts for her collaboration in styling the chicken image. We had such a great time on a fall afternoon shooting together. BIG thanks to our muse Katherine who dealt with a bit of chicken poop, but remained a trooper!!

Special Portraits. Special Books.



I love when people think outside the box!!! A client and friend came to me for a special photo session she wanted to do as a gift to her husband for Valentine's Day - not necessarily outside of the box in and of itself. Margo, however, is fearless and really wanted to push herself and create something very intimate and special. We collaborated and did a fantastic shoot together. The images had just the vintage feel we wanted. When it came to a vehicle to contain these images, I knew a hand-crafted book was the only way to go. Asheville is an art town, if you want something made, someone here must certainly does it. Through some investigating, I found the perfect artist for the project. I am so thrilled to have met local book artist Annie Fain of A. Fain Books . Her work is amazing. I appreciated not only her expertise, but her enthusiasm for what we were wanting to do. She crafted a book that had the same intimate feel as the images themselves. It was the perfect complement and the result was a complete art piece. Thank you Annie for your hard work and I look forward to working with you again.

And most certainly, thank you Margo for being so comfortable with yourself and your relationship with your husband. Thank you also for trusting me with your vision.
