Be present with the ones you love.

Documentary wedding, family, and portrait photography in Charlotte, NC.


Life doesn't happen in perfect poses.

It happens in the middle of conversations, on crowded dance floors, in the chaos of raising kids, and in the quiet moments between the people you love.

I photograph people as they actually are—with an observant, documentary approach

Below you’ll find sections dedicated to wedding, family and portraits, where you can see more.

Wedding Photography


Be present on your wedding day. I’ll preserve the memories.

You shouldn't have to spend it being pulled away from your friends and family every few minutes. I'll document the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything happening in between while you stay present in the experience.

Family Photography


Let them be little. Let them be themselves.

The way they laugh. The way they run. The things they say. The way they reach for you.

These seasons don't last forever.

Portraits


Natural and authentic portraits in Charlotte

You don't need to know how to pose.

Great portraits are more about great lighting and give you enough freedom for your personality to come through.

Natural, relaxed portraits for the moments when you want to remember who you were right now.

Stories


The photographs are only part of the story.

I love photographing an entire story rather than a collection of disconnected images.

A wedding day. An afternoon with your family. A season of life.

See the photographs in context and get a sense of how I approach the people and moments in front of my camera.

Be present with the ones you love.


I've been photographing people professionally for more than 12 years.

Over that time, I've learned that the photographs people value most aren't always the ones that were planned.

They're the moments that bring you back.

A look from someone you love.

A child's expression you had forgotten.

The people who showed up.

The way it felt to be together.

That's what I'm looking for.
