N. Maternity | Camp Lejeune Maternity | Camp Lejeune, NC

When Gretchen came to me saying she wanted to do a couples session with me and that she wanted to do a fun styled type session to showcase their love for the outdoors I was 100% on board! I love making sessions personal to my clients. It helps them feel comfortable and themselves which always translates to more genuine smiles and actions!

J.Maternity | Camp Lejeune Maternity Photographer | Camp Lejeune, NC

Two years before I shot this beautiful momma-to-be's maternity photos I was photographing her and her fiance at their engagement session. No I didn't shoot a wedding and didn't tell you all but they really wanted engagement photos so she hired me. It is still one of my favorite couples sessions to this day and unfortunately I wasn't into blogging back then so I can't even link it back (*SIGH*). Flash forward to this past October when my sweet friend Jillian came over and we went down the road and got her some GORGEOUS maternity shots!!

C. Family | Camp Lejeune Family Photographer | Camp Lejeune, NC

I LOVE so much when the Marine Corps keeps people in your life. More importantly, I love even more when the Marine Corps allows me to photograph clients at different duty stations because we ended up together again and again! I first met this family in Virginia. Jean and I clicked thanks to our similar fondness for running. Her kiddos were my main subjects the first time around as she wanted to get some good photos of them for their school photos. I mean those cheesy school photos are great for keepsakes and all but some prefer to have photos of their kids that totally speak their personality. B had the coolest animal print hat and Z was all tough cuz ya know, guys are tough. They were a lot of fun and we got some great fall colors!

N.Couple | First Anniversary Session | Camp Lejeune Couples Photographer

Not to many people ask me to style a session for them. It kind of bums me out because I think customizing sessions to speak about you as a family, couple, what have you is not only fun but important. Having photos done isn't just about having PHOTOS DONE. It's about capturing the moment and who you are as a couple/family/person.

C.Family | Marine Corps Homecoming | Camp Lejeune Homecoming Photographer

I'm usually choked up at homecomings. The build up to this homecoming was more than the homecoming itself. But it was a homecoming no less and it's always sweet to see families reunited!!
