An Ode to Mamaw Troxler
Last week my Mamaw Troxler passed away at 89 years old. I wanted to write a few thoughts down that I learned from her death. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. He was so gracious in showing us this. There is a peace
Andrea’s Bridal Portraits
Hmm where do I start? I have known Andrea forever. Literally. We both grew up in Browns Summit and all of my best little kid memories have Andrea in them. Snow sledding on her parents farm. Learning how to put on (too much) eyeliner at our beloved church camp, Bonclarken.
Dr. Eggleton
Last week I had the privilege of taking Dr. Eggleton’s graduation portriats at NC State University. I met Dr. Eggleton through my husband James. She teaches in the classroom next to him and is his mentor teacher. There are so many wonderful things that I could say about Dr. Eggleton,
2017 Mom and Me Mini Session
I have been a mom now for 8 months and MAN what a job it is! The hardest, sweetest, and most important job I have ever had! This mother’s day all I could think about is how many wonderful women have loved me and influenced me over the years. They

When I arrived to shoot Katherine and Luke’s engagement party I had never met the couple, and had only exchanged a few emails back and forth with Katherine. I could tell immediately they were my kind of people. Easy going, full of laughs and joy, and always smiling. By the

Patterson Family
You know when you meet someone and you just automatically really like them? That’s the way I felt when I first met Rachel while working at VF. She is the kindest, gentlest, and most caring person. The love of God is so evident in the way she lives her life.
Hughes Family
A few weekends ago I took family portraits of the Hughes family. I have a special love for all boy families. Maybe it’s because James is the oldest of 3 boys, I don’t know exactly, but something about a herd of boys makes me grin! These little guys were so
Katalyst Security Summit
This past week I had the pleasure of capturing the Katalyst Security Summit at the Sanctuary Resort on Kiawah Island. Everything about the week was wonderful. The food, scenery, people, and the speakers were phenomenal! One of my favorite parts of the Security Summit was getting to hear Frank W.
Raelyn Nicole Bailey
This weekend I had the chance to take newborn pictures of Miss Raelyn Nicole. Little baby Rae is an absolute doll! After having Bear (and him being 6 months old now!), I realize the extreme importance of newborn pictures. Babies don’t keep! I hope these sweet photos will always remind
