What a romantic engagement session at the Slightly Different Nursery daylily farm!  I just love my adventurous couples and these two are the sweetest!  Marybeth and Wesley are always hiking, boating, or 4-wheelin somewhere! Marybeth was on the hunt for a beautiful venue where they could be outdoors and in nature – I say it […]

When one of your neighbors is growing wheat and the other has beautiful kids, you plan a sunset wheat field session!  Kendall and Kaitlyn have the sweetest sister bond and they always keep me smiling!  They each get more beautiful each time I see them! Their brother, Dusty, and his precious girlfriend joined in on […]

Maternity sessions are always so sweet and special!  Even more so when the couple are past wedding clients and you get to watch their precious family grow!  You probably recognize Brooklyn and Darin from their Zimmerwald Estate wedding last June!

This Christmas wedding was magical in every single way!!  I felt like I was on the set of a Hallmark movie all day long…I was IN HEAVEN!!  There were lit trees, lanterns, and candles everywhere you looked, and the bridesmaids even carried lanterns instead of bouquets! Anne Marie and Zach are the sweetest couple you’ll […]

It’s hard to believe that Jessie and Christian celebrated their one-year anniversary at the beginning of the month!  What better way to kick off year number two than with a beautiful Crowders Mountain anniversary session! In September of 2017, I walked into the local coffee shop to meet Jessie for the first time to start […]

I get to work with some of the sweetest and most beautiful seniors – am I right?!!  Madison’s senior session, at Gardner-Webb, was an absolute blast and watching her pop not one, but two bottles of champagne to celebrate this milestone was beyond exciting! She is officially a GWU alumni and received her BA in […]

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t fighting back tears writing this blog post today.  This senior session, in downtown Rutherfordton, is closest to my heart and one I will cherish for a lifetime. I have known sweet Mackenzie since she was a toddler and consider her my niece.  I have watched her […]

One would think I hired a professional model for this whimsical outdoor session, but this young lady is just that amazing!! Kaylee’s senior session was beyond spectacular!  The weather was perfect, her two fabulous besties came along as her cheerleaders, her style is on point, and her fun spirit is contagious!! Needing zero instruction, she […]

This session is very close to my heart, as Brooke is one of my GORGEOUS nieces!!  She is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and also graduated at the top of her class!!  I am beyond proud of the woman she has become and I know she is going to do incredible things […]

I'm a small-town, North Carolina, photographer and full-time spaghetti enthusiast!  If I'm not behind my camera or computer, you'll be able to find me at the barn with my horses or in the garden - I'm pretty sure that I'm a wannabe plant lady at heart!

The blog is here to not only showcase our recent work, but also to be a resource for clients and other photographers. You'll find session and photography tips, style guides, and so much more! If there's something specific you're interested in, shoot me a message - I'd love to hear all about it!

I'm Ashley
