Raleigh, NC

I’ve never worked with anyone who has brought a giant inflatable tube of Crest toothpaste to their shoot before and now I’m wondering why the heck not. Wylie is a very fun dentist. We had inflatable Crest! We had a plush pink toothbrush! We had a shark cardigan! We had an amazing time! Wylie is in the process of opening a dental practice in Raleigh, NC with his wonderful wife Sharon. They’re originally from the area and, having lived in a few different places, recently moved back to NC with their cat who is black and also named Jack. The photo session was definitely meant to be. I had a ton of fun running around Raleigh taking new headshots of Wylie while talking teeth, cats, and cardigans.

Jaymie + Matthew // Durham Mini Session

Delighted to have these folks over to the house for a mini family photo session in Durham! Jaymie works with my good friend Jen, and since all my favorite people also know all the best people, we hit it off right away. They were a ton of fun to work with and their kids were super sweet. Little brother loves Home Alone (only called me a filthy animal once) and Mario and Luigi. Big sister loves Animal Crossing and crochet. They both love playing rock, paper, scissors but are the first kids I’ve seen to develop the advanced RPS technique of slowing way down before throwing their choice in hopes of buying themselves a millisecond to see what their sibling threw down first. Unfortunately, they both do this at the exact same time, and therefore it ends in extreme slow-mo and nobody wins. Thankfully they’re great at being redirected. Loved every second photographing this fun and adorable crew of four!

Alex + Danielle // At-Home Family Photos

Alex and Danielle welcomed a new baby girl to their family in December, so I was overjoyed to update their family photos with her, their son, and their 16 year-old dachshund Honeybee. Their baby girl is so sweet and looks so much like her brother did at that age! Big brother is enamored with her, and talks nonstop about his sister and also Honeybee, both of which he loves hugging and kissing on the forehead. He also loves cameras (!) and was a great assistant during the shoot, taking additional pictures and making sure my bag was properly packed. This family of kind creatives warms my heart and it was a great way to start off my family photos of 2026!
