You know what really matters to me? That you feel comfortable, included, welcome, and respected. This isn’t just a nice idea—it’s something I actively think about at every single photo session. Over time, I’ve had to train myself to slow down during shoots so I can create space for all of those feelings to be present.

Let’s talk black and white photos—because I love them, and I get questions about them all the time. “Do I get a black and white version of every image in my gallery?” Short answer: Nope. Long answer: Because black and white images deserve more intention than just slapping a filter on top.

There’s something so special about photographing a family welcoming a brand new baby into the world — and this relaxed newborn session in Charleston, SC was pure magic.

I love a good magic trick in editing as much as the next gal—give me all the glowy light, creamy skin tones, and a little extra sparkle in your kiddo’s eyes. But when it comes to changing the color of your entire outfit? That’s going to be a no for me, dog. 😆

I started talking about this topic softly, a video on my Instagram and then a video on Youtube. And since those shared thoughts keep bringing views and comments, it seems this is a topic that lots of people are still so curious about! So I can't very well stop talking about it right?! Not until everyone knows my answer to a very hot topic... **Should you wear your Apple Watch in your photos?* *My answer? Yes.

As a photographer, my job goes far beyond capturing beautiful images. I'm also holding space for you, your story, your relationships, and your comfort. That’s why I’m intentional about the words I use during sessions. Some compliments might sound kind or harmless at first, but can feel awkward or even harmful depending on someone’s experiences or family dynamics.
