When I'm not in the Chik-fil-A drive thru, with my family or petting a stranger's puppy, I'm capturing images of the sweetest Southern love I can find. Here's a peek at the work I love to do and the people who don't make it feel like work at all.

What’s in my bag?

“What is your preferred lens?” “What do you shoot weddings with?” “What’s a good starter camera?” “Can you tell me EVERYTHING you know?” Believe it or not… I get these questions daily!

Gerrell Wedding

“We’re not great at the picture taking thing.” This was one of the first things Caitlyn said to me when we met for her and Josh’s engagement session. As you can see this is not the case and they are professionals now.  My favorite part about capturing a bride and groom’s big day is all […]
