[Pinehurst, NC Wedding] Our second location on the road map to weddings was Pinehurst, NC. I’m based in Wilmington and that has pretty much meant I am a destination wedding photographer.  We are located in a very small town, and there is a lot of photographers in the area. So, I actually don’t really have […]

Jessica and Matt’s wedding was my first wedding of the season. This wedding was on a Friday, and as a photographer this is music to my ears! Friday weddings are the best! It is a fun way to kick off the weekend, and for brides and grooms this gives them an opportunity to jump start their honeymoon plans. Sometimes […]

There are so many choices and options when choosing your floral arrangements for your wedding day. You can definitely get overwhelmed and feel stressed over something that can truly be magical. Flowers are an important part of your wedding day. I know that a wedding can get expensive but there are different types and ways you […]

Preparing for senior photos- Wilmington NC senior photographer Back in my day senior photos were just yearbook images. Yes, I just said, “back in my day” =) But, seriously the options now a days are way more fun, and way more exciting and can be ultimately anything you want! Literally, any style you want to […]

Lent.. Today starts lent in the Catholic faith.  This time is usually associated with reflecting and growing as human beings.  I think this idea of lent is actually very relatable to anyone and everyone.  Spring Cleaning For example one term that comes to mind is spring cleaning.  We make space for new items as we say goodbye to […]

I have noticed as I have gotten older my thrill seeking section of my brain is almost non-exsistent. Ever feel that way? I remember when I was 16, I used to plot my escape route to another state. I graduated early and I couldn’t have graduated any more earlier than 16 to gain my independence. Let’s […]

Honeymoon Planning Your engaged, and your planning a wedding, and now a honeymoon right? Cruises? All inclusive resorts? Maybe afraid of planes? Honeymoon planning can definitely be daunting. I mean you have to figure out do you want a cold place, or are you more warm natured? If so, do you want a beach, dessert, or […]

Breakfast in Bed This year already is going so fast. I have so many things I want to accomplish and already am feeling overwhelmed by my choices of how to tackle them. Is it really normal to take on to much? Is it normal to want more than what you already have? Unfortunately this is the case, […]

This weekend consisted of introducing my husband to something pretty great. I shared the most lovely treat with him. Its got maple, its got bacon, its paired with a waffle. (Yea, you might know what it is).. And of course,  a nicely topped almost like a cloud chicken tender that lays oh so perfectly on this breaded […]

  Today was a beautiful spring day here in Wilmington, NC. It kinda made me reminiscent about my life in Florida. (Ya know the state that is always pretty and warm.) I do love the changing of seasons that we experience here in the Carolinas though.  Winter hasn’t been to cruel to us this year […]

Today is Valentine’s Day… I passed flower bouquets, cards, and chocolates as I strolled down the grocery aisles. I had it in my head that I was not going to feed into this holiday.  I didn’t even blink an eye thinking about what other things I wanted.  Robbie and I always say that Valentines is every […]

This past fall I went to visit my New England family in Boston. Robbie and I spent some time there visiting the city of Boston, and also the neighboring towns and states around there. It was the most beautiful time to be there too. The highways were lined with red and gold tones and it […]

Today is December 30th, 2016 As a child I remember cleaning on the weekends with Spanish music blaring from my moms old stereo. Sometimes, it was a nice welcomed noise, and other times it was too early to hear music. (If you know what I mean). Nonetheless this cultural habit if you will, was definitely […]

A good friend of mine was pregnant this winter and as her belly grew, I decided to photograph this moment for her. She had already had a boy, and it wasn’t documented so I wanted her to remember this pregnancy. She was having a girl. Regardless of your child’s sex, any pregnancy is important and these life […]

Carolina Beach State Park Engagement Shoot: Ashley was referred to me by a previous client. And nothing is a better compliment as a photographer to have people actually refer you to their friends. It’s definitely a wonderful feeling! Ashley and I had corresponded for what felt like a year, and finally had the chance to do […]

Jessica and Matt’s love story began in 2013… Jess and Matt agreed to do a sunrise shoot and of course I did a happy dance! As I have mentioned in previous post, I LOVE sunrise sessions. The light never disappoints, and in most cases our locations feel like they were created just for us. We started […]

Congrats on your recent engagement! Now what are you supposed to do? Most newly engaged couples aren’t experts of the wedding industry.  Unless you were that little girl that had a wedding scrapbook, your knowledge about the wedding industry is probably limited to the one’s you’ve attended and the one’s you’ve seen in a magazine. It […]

Throwback Tuesday to this gem…   It’s time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I’d much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure. -Ernie Harwell
