Family & Friends: Home & Vacation Sessions
Imagine your family, your vacation, or your daily rituals captured exactly as they are- messy, tender, joyful, real. Everyday Magic Sessions document the love in ordinary moments: kids playing in the backyard, pets milling about, meals shared in a mountain cabin, laughter echoing down Asheville streets.

You won’t find forced smiles or stiff posing here. Just authentic storytelling that preserves your life as it truly feels, so you can look back and remember the raw feeling in all its texture.

These Sessions are Photojournalistic in nature and my goal is to blend into the background of your life for a couple hours and preserve your magic on camera without being intrusive. I want to capture for you the real, the raw and the beautiful that you and your family are. This is a validating experience where you get to see yourself from a fly-on-thewall perspective and have heirlooms to remind you and your family of just how beautiful the mess of life together actually is.

A candid, soulful photography experience that leaves you with both portraits and deeper connection
