My story;

As a mom of two, and a devoted book fanatic, I understand the beauty of life's chapters and the importance of preserving them. From my cozy home studio in Upstate South Carolina, I open my doors and my heart to families, capturing memories that will be cherished for generations. The honor and trust my clients place in me fills my heart with joy and love. This blend of personal connection and professional passion is what makes newborn and family photography my life's work.

You and your baby’s safety is my top priority. I’ve received professional training in newborn photography safety, including proper care for delicate umbilical cords and circumcisions, recognizing newborn reflexes, and ensuring safe poses that protect their airway and prevent overheating. I’m skilled in safe wrapping techniques, thoroughly inspect props to avoid hazards, and stay attentive to signs of dehydration or hunger. I also provide care for moms, especially mindful of recovery needs after c-sections and able to recognize and alert to emergency situations that may occur. Fully immunized and well-prepared, I am committed to creating a safe, comforting experience for both you and your little one.

Fact 1


My go-to coffee order is a Venti Iced Cafe Mocha, sometimes with a shot of raspberry. I also have an addiction to English Breakfast tea I inherited from my Grandmother, Florence. Every cup reminds me of her and the love she shared for her family.

Fact 2


I adore music. I play soft ambient/lofi music in the studio while I shoot, and even bring a speaker with me when I shoot outdoors. If you listen close enough... you'll notice it's all covers of popular songs. Think Redbone by Childish Gambino but... oddly calming. #ItsAVibe

Fact 3


I started out with Landscape & Waterfall photography when living in Brevard, NC, and went viral on TikTok 3x getting over 2.4m views and 1.8m likes! I still love to hike & capture beautiful photos of nature in my spare time. I love the fresh air and time to reflect, especially up on the BRP.

Fact 4


As an "unbothered queen" my patience is immeasurable, and pride myself on being a calm and light hearted presence; this includes comforting crying babies, or laughing off the times I get pee'd or pooped on during a session. Yes, it happens. This is the life I chose for myself.

kind words from my beloved clients:
Saige Saige Saige!!!! Oh my gosh, you have been such a wonderful photographer to work with. You captured our twins first photoshoot and first birthday milestone. I am so ecstatic and pleased with the photos. The pictures are organic, they illustrate Marleigh and Maddox in their natural state. Thank you for being such a delight… you communicated throughout the whole process with professionalism, coordinated color schemes, answered all my questions and the end results are priceless.
