As a former coach, I love creating action sports portraits that capture the essence of athletes’ hard work and glory!

The great thing is that regardless of the settings or occasions, what I love most about my job never changes: when my subjects see their images, they feel FAMOUS, BIGGER than LIFE… and doesn’t everyone deserve to feel that once in a while?
As a portrait photographer, prom season is one of my favorite times of year. There’s something electric about it—the energy, the fashion, and the sense of celebration in the air. This year, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing not one, but two prom events.
Our mini sessions before the Roanoke Rapids High School Prom took place at the always-stunning Weldon Mills Distillery in Weldon, NC. With its rich historic charm, brick textures, and elegant industrial aesthetic, it served as the perfect backdrop for classic, stylish prom portraits.
The lighting, ambiance, and warmth of the space elevated every photo we took—making the teens feel like stars and the making the portraits truly timeless.
A huge thank you to Weldon Mills Distillery for being such a gracious and inspiring venue. Your space continues to provide a top-tier experience for both photographers and clients, and this session was no exception!
The second stop on this year’s prom tour was Halifax Academy, where I was completely blown away by the transformation of the school gym. Thanks to the creative vision of Jessica Mills, along with an incredible team of parents and students, the gym was turned into a movie-themed wonderland.
Every detail was carefully planned and beautifully executed. The creativity of each themed section flowed like frames on a film strip—iconic childhood movies brought to life through thoughtful design and immersive decor.
The transformation of the gym into a cinematic experience was nothing short of magical. It was a true labor of love, and the hard work and passion of everyone involved showed in every corner of the room.
Whether at Weldon Mills or Halifax Academy, my goal remained the same: to capture not just how everyone looked, but how they felt. The anticipation. The joy. The confidence. The friendships. Every laugh and every carefully pinned corsage told a story, and I was honored to freeze those moments.
It may be too early to book next year’s prom sessions, but it’s never too early to stay in the loop! If you want first access when prom mini session registration opens, be sure to join my email list. I’d love to help capture your unforgettable night with timeless, heartfelt images.
