One of the best parts of being a family photographer is KNOWING that you are providing a legacy for your clients. This means your job is so much more than pushing a button, it's leaving a lasting impact on the people who choose YOU to document this season of their lives. One of my favorite truths about family photography is that it's always in demand, and there is room for ALL OF US! With that said, the world needs what you have to offer. You get to make an impact on your client's lives and an income doing what you love that supports your family. This work is important and there is space for you here.
You're ready to make an impact on clients and an income for your family. Let's get started!
In 2010 I was waiting tables at a restaurant in Virginia Beach that sits right on the water. I looked over to my right one day at the neighboring building, a wedding venue, and saw a photographer shooting a wedding and I thought... "I REALLY want to do that". I had no camera, but soon after, I got my first big girl camera and the rest is history. Although we're officially retired from weddings, I still work with tons of families here on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina and I LOVE showing other photographers how to do the same!

What clients are saying
I was literally made for this. I don't have unrealistic expectations of my clients, I don't pressure them or ask them to be perfect for me. I'm patient, but I shoot FAST because I know that's a must with kids (I have three wild daughters, I GET IT!)... and I deliver huge galleries filled with not just poses, but in-between moments. My turn around is fast and I LOVE what I do! I would LOVE to work with you on Hatteras Island!
Working with families has my heart.
