Incredibly professional, fun and easy to work with!

Annie was such a huge asset to our wedding day! The pictures she took were phenomenal and really captured the love and beauty of the event. Annie was super easy to work with from the beginning. From the engagement session to our wedding day, Annie was very responsive, professional and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Annie has a great attitude and is so fun to be around. I highly recommend her and am definitely going to be using her again for other special events that come up in life! We were so happy with our wedding pictures and thought they were edited beautifully!

I’m so happy you stumbled upon my website! I’m very grateful to have you here. My husband (Seth), our three kids (Ford, Colton, and Harper), and I live in Fort Mill, South Carolina where we’ve settled down after Seth got out of the Army a few years ago. I’m from Charlotte, which is minutes away from where I live now, and my husband is from Raleigh. We met at Appalachian State University and got married shortly after graduation!

My photography journey began in high school, where I started a small business similar to this (portrait, family, weddings). Shortly after college, I also got into food photography and have had a food blog since 2014 called The Garlic Diaries.

I love people – talking to them, taking pictures of them, connecting with them. It would be an honor to connect with you and your family to capture your special day or special moments. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!
