Our Story
Before I started my photography business I almost started a wedding planning business. I just love the entire process of weddings.
When I became pregnant in 1999 that's when I made the decision Photography was it for me. I started out with Family Portraits and eased into weddings over the next few years. I am now in my 20th year and truly love what I do!!
I believe that the best images are the one's that capture real smiles, real tears, and real emotions! I not only love wedding photography, but the entire wedding process, all of the little details excite me! I tell my brides all the time how I love to make their day easier. I have helped many with color selections, venue, DJ, officiant and even been known to drive them to and from their hair and make-up session the day of the wedding!!
I LOVE my job. I wake up and I'm excited to go work. I get to meet new and exciting people and tell their love story. I love to capture every moment and detail of their special day. I get to display their quirks, personality, and true self. I get to make an impact.
I am so incredibly thankful that God has blessed me with such an amazing career. I count my blessings everyday I get to do this for a living.
I take the time to get to know the couples that I work with and find out their story. I find that by doing this, it makes everyone more comfortable and relaxed on their wedding day. This in turn, results in wonderful, natural photographs of the bride and groom, who feel free to express their emotions and are not inhibited around the camera or me. It also allows me to find out more about a couple's individual style and personality so that their images will reflect who they are.
I am in a area where I get lots of destination weddings and it's not always as easy to get to know a couple that's coming from another state. In this situation I stay in close email contact and try to meet you once you arrive. If that doesn't work out I'll arrive a bit earlier then scheduled to have some time for us to be comfortable with each other.
I am originally from Tennessee. I moved to North Myrtle Beach, SC in 1993. In 2018 I married the love of my life Ricky and moved to Wilmington, NC. Our blended family consists of three sons ages 23, 21 & 20. We have 3 dogs and 4 cats.
When choosing a photographer I believe it is important to make sure you have chosen someone whose artistic vision and personality are a good fit for you!
