    Anniversaries: Marc & Lana Celebrate 7 Years | Raleigh North Carolin Wedding Photographer

    Tuesday, December 16, 2014

    There are times in life where you are afforded the opportunity to bless someone who has blessed you. I had the opportunity to do so with a super dynamic couple who just happen to be my friends. Marc and Lana have been that voice, encouraging me to not only pursue photography, but to provide it as a service for those who cherish moments that have been visually documented. So when Lana and Marc approached me to capture what 7 years of marriage look like for them, I immediately grew excited. These two are a beautiful example of what it looks like to include Christ in your marriage. Everything that these two set out to do is done with a spirit of excellence, and the same can be said about their marriage.

    Trisha + Richard Celebrate 10 Years | North Carolina Portrait Photographer

    Monday, July 21, 2014

    There are so many negative images in the media regarding marriage. Terms like "The Old Ball and Chain" and "The Warden" make marriage seem more like jail than anything else. That's why it's such a pleasure to me when I can document a couple who have grown in their relationship and are as vibrant (maybe even more so) as the day they met.

    Trisha and Richard both attended Western Kentucky College. With a common love of sports they hit it off, fell in love and soon married. Ten years later they both have accomplished a ton, including 3 beautiful children and T3 Fitness where Trisha is the owner and personal trainer.

    I loved photographing these two. Not only are they super stylish, but they are both adorable as well as passionate in their love for one another. Trisha has a smile that can easily light up a room and is a truly beautiful soul. Richard is dapper and also has a soul that is welcoming and beautiful. I love these two together!

    Melcina + Johnnie Celebrate 25 Years | Durham Portrait Photographer

    Monday, June 16, 2014

    You know that your shoot is going to be special when children reach out to you to plan a surprise shoot for their parents. "Special" This was my immediate thought when I was contacted to photograph Melcina and Johnnie, who have been together for 29 years and married for 25. Together they have raised 3 beautiful children and have gone through much, but they have still managed to keep that playful and romantic spark going.

    It was a beautiful thing to just watch Melcina and Johnnie interact with one another. They both look and act as though they're still dating. The love that these two share is SO refreshing and inspirational. What a pleasure, blessing and honor it was to have been chosen to photograph Melcina and Johnnie for their 25th anniversary. I wish the two of you many, many more. Keep inspiring each other, and us!
