What would an engagement session look like in Raleigh, NC?


  1. My style incorporates the personality of the couple! Are you playful? Serious? Silly? Energetic? Romantic? A Little bit of everything? That's ok with me! I love working together with my couples to figure out their style and what story they want to tell with their love.

How to prepare for an engagement session


  1. Choose a location or locations:I offer a few packages to cater to your needs that range from a condensed session or something that tells your story in depth. I'm always happy to hear where my couples want to go, but I also have a detailed location guide I share with my clients to help decide on the perfect location.
  2. Choose your outfit(s): Once we choose the location or locations, I will send over a style guide to give pointers and help narrow down a look! You can always wear whatever you want, but I also love to help in anyway you need it. Tip: Bring jackets or hats to change up the look without changing the entire outfit.
  3. Decide on Hair/Makeup: you are always welcome to do your own hair and makeup, but if you want a little extra help I am happy to help find the best makeup artist for you!
  4. Day of: Make sure to remove your phone, hair ties, keys, etc. from your pockets and body and place them in a small bag for safety.


From there, this is where I take care of you! I will guide you through poses and prompts to bring out your personality during the session. It's my job to place you, even down to the "where should I put my hands?" The session is to celebrate your love with your significant other so I want to make it fun and enjoyable the whole way through!
