Some days don’t need a big crowd to make them unfo Some days don’t need a big crowd to make them unforgettable. 💜

Brenna & Richard’s elopement at Butterfly Kisses was intimate, beautiful, and just incredibly special.

Just the two of them, some family and close friends, a gorgeous Carolina afternoon, and the beginning of a whole new chapter together.

There’s something extra special about an elopement — when the focus is simply on the two people who are there to get married. No distractions. No trying to keep up with a schedule. Just being together and taking it all in.

Congratulations, Brenna & Richard. It was a pleasure getting to photograph your most special day. ❤️

A little sneak peek before Miles’ baby brother mak A little sneak peek before Miles’ baby brother makes an appearance in November. 🤍

Emily & Austin, a beautiful evening, a little ocean breeze, and one very special countdown to go.

There’s something pretty amazing about photographing this part of someone’s story — knowing they’re about to be entrusted with a little one to love and teach and cherish.

I’m so glad we got to freeze a little piece of this season for them before their newest adventure begins.

November can’t come soon enough. 🤍

Some families you photograph once. Some families b Some families you photograph once. Some families become part of the story. ❤️

I’ve been photographing the Strom family since 2019, and somehow, every time I see them, there are more people, more memories, and usually a little more chaos - in the very best possible way. 😂

This July, everyone gathered to celebrate Sue’s 80th birthday, and they came prepared. Matching shirts, plenty of laughs, three generations together, and the kind of family fun that makes photographing a group this size completely worth it.

And honestly, this is one of my favorite things about family photography. It isn’t just about getting everyone to look at the camera. It’s about documenting who your family is right now - the personalities, the relationships, the inside jokes, the big milestones, and the people you want to remember having all together.

Sue, happy 80th! And Strom family, thank you for trusting me to keep documenting your family since 2019. It really does mean a lot. ❤️

If you’re looking for family photography in Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Swansboro, Newport, or the greater Eastern North Carolina coast, I’d love to help tell your family’s story, too.

It’s always great when the Evans crew makes their It’s always great when the Evans crew makes their way back to the Crystal Coast for vacation — and I’m especially grateful I’ve gotten to photograph them the past couple of years while making memories here. 

Five boys (and now a girlfriend for one), plenty of energy, lots of laughs, two great parents, and a whole lot of love. 🥰

So glad they continue to make their summer visit a tradition - and that I get to be a small part of it each year…documenting memories that will last a lifetime

Brandon knew exactly where he wanted to start fore Brandon knew exactly where he wanted to start forever with Maria 🌊💍

With the waves rolling in at Atlantic Beach and the sky putting on a show of its own following a huge thunderstorm, Brandon got down on one knee and asked the easiest question he’d ever asked. And Maria’s reaction said it all.

Moments like these are why I love what I do. They’re real, emotional, and impossible to recreate. It’s such a pleasure to quietly document the beginning of a new chapter and preserve it exactly as it happened.

Congratulations, Brandon & Maria! Wishing you both a lifetime of sunsets, adventures, and reasons to celebrate. 🤍
