Duke Gardens in Durham is a magical spot for engagement sessions. With its stunning variety of landscapes, from tranquil ponds and lush flower beds to elegant pathways and historic structures, it offers the perfect backdrop for capturing the love and excitement of an engaged couple and I recently had the pleasure of photographing an engagement session there for Maria and Kent!

There are a few places around Raleigh that provide the perfect setting for your outdoor family photos and that give space for your little ones to run around. The NC Museum of Art in Raleigh is one of those places! offering a mix of playground fun, green spaces, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and i recently had the pleasure of photographing the most precious family session here.

I absolutely love shooting at the North Carolina Art Museum. It has the perfect mix of nature and abstract spots for sessions and is one of my favorite places to have sessions here in Raleigh. Especially engagement sessions! I recently had the pleasure of working with Sarah and ben for their engagement session. we started out inside the museum, which truly highlighted their love for art. Sarah and ben have electrifying yet, contemporary personalities and it couldn’t have been a more perfect fit.

DOWNTOWN RALEIGH ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I am so excited to share these engagement photos from CARA AND DANIEL’S engagement session in Downtown Raleigh AT THE BOYLAN BRIDGE AND DIX PARK! FROM THE CITY SKYLINE, THE WILDFLOWERS AT DIX TO THE UNFORGETTABLE SUNSET, THIS SESSION WAS BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITES TO CAPTURE!

Engagement sessions are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate love and capture the magic of a couple’s unique journey. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing NICHOLAS AND JAZMINE’S engagement session in the vibrant heart of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. With its stunning skyline, charming streets, and eclectic mix of urban art, Charlotte provided the perfect backdrop for this special occasion.

There's something magical about a North Carolina golden hour, especially when it comes as a surprise! What was forecasted to be a rainy evening turned into the most beautiful, sun-kissed engagement session for Christian and Hannah at Joyner Park in Wake Forest, NC. It was such a perfect plot twist!

There’s nothing more exhilarating than escaping to the coast for engagement photos! Jockey’s Ridge has been a dream location of mine for what feels like forever, so when Makenzie asked if we could spend the day there, I immediately said YES!

The moment I arrived at the Brookstown Inn, I was captivated. The classic red brick and the charming outdoor courtyard, where Emma and Ian exchanged their vows, perfectly reflected who they are as individuals. This venue was more than just a backdrop; it was a testament to their unique love story.
