I had the chance to photograph such a fun day at Big Bear Veterinary as they celebrated their 5-year anniversary! From dunk-the-doctor laughs and clinic tours to learning stations, local vendors, and an incredible K9 demonstration from our local police department — it was such a great reminder of how much heart this team puts into both animals and their community. 💙

Congratulations to everyone at Big Bear on five amazing years of serving pets and their people! Here are a few highlights from the celebration — enjoy the smiles, the splashes, and of course, the dogs. 🐶🎉

Welcoming another sweet soul into the world ✨

My beautiful friend and business partner, Kara, is about to add one more heart to her family of four. Watching her step into this new season—surrounded by her husband and their two little ones, all glowing with love—was pure magic to capture.

Kara, you are such a steady, kind, creative spirit, and I know this baby is already so deeply loved. I can’t wait to see the joy this little one brings and the way your family continues to grow in love.

Here’s to new beginnings, tiny toes, and the sweetest chapter yet.

Golden hour + mountain views = the perfect combo for this senior session at Vogel State Park 🌄🎓
Matthew brought style and confidence, and the natural beauty of the park did the rest. Here’s to new adventures ahead!

“A full-circle moment.”
⁣
She’s the kind of doctor you hope you’ll get to learn under — sharp, calm, endlessly patient. Dr. Elrod took me in when I was new and unsure and met me with grace. ⁣
⁣
This week, I got to meet her in a different light — not behind the exam table, but beneath the trees with her husband and their baby boy, Levi.⁣
⁣
It’s funny how life rotates like that. I’ve had kids for a while now — I’m further down that road — and here was this woman who has taught me so much, now letting me gently guide her through something new: family photos, toddler wrangling, wind-blown curls, silly puppy dog noises to get attention...
⁣
These roles we play — student, mother, artist, teacher, whatever it is — they keep evolving. And sometimes the beauty is in witnessing each other in all of them.⁣
⁣
Thank you, Dr. Elrod, for trusting me with this season.

There’s something special about photographing people you know—people who’ve walked through seasons of life with you. Abby and I once worked side-by-side as vet techs, and during that time, she taught me more than just how to hold a syringe. She taught me steadiness, patience, and how to show up.

On this warm spring evening at Crane Creek Vineyards, I had the honor of capturing her family—her husband, brother, and parents—all of them woven together in the kind of bond that doesn’t need posing or perfect lighting to show up on camera.

This is what we love to do. Not just take pictures—but create images that feel like belonging. That remind you what matters. That last longer than trends.

Here’s a glimpse into a session that meant a lot.

From bump to baby — this mountain witnessed it all.

We captured this beautiful mama in her element just before she welcomed her second little miracle into the world.

Now, these photos hold even more magic, knowing her baby is finally here, safe and sound.

Nature, motherhood, and the quiet power of growing life — what an honor to freeze this moment in time.

After a cozy winter hiatus, I’m dusting off my camera and stepping back behind the lens—and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start than with the Odom family! ✨

Coming all the way from Robbinsville, NC, they were patient through multiple weather reschedules, and when the perfect sunny March day finally arrived, we made the most of it. ☀️📸 We shot at an old silo in Andrews—one of those places that, to an untrained eye, might not seem like much. But with the right light, the right angles, and a trusting family willing to go along with my vision, it turned into absolute magic.

Huge thanks to the Odoms for their kindness, flexibility, and for dressing so perfectly for the session! Can’t wait to capture more beautiful moments this season. Who’s next? 👀📷 .

Last weekend, my family and I headed up to Wayah Bald to catch the fall colors at their brightest. We hiked up, with the kids bounding down trails and pockets of color around every turn. There’s something magical about standing at the top, taking in that endless patchwork of reds, golds, and oranges, and just feeling present with the people you love.

Kara (Crowe) and I started Burns and Crowe because of moments like these. We both believe in capturing what’s real—those little, everyday wonders that make life beautiful. Watching my kids, I realized how special it is to have these memories to look back on one day and how grateful I am to get to do this with Crowe by my side.

If you’re ever looking to freeze those fleeting moments with your own family, just know we’d love to be there with you. For us, it’s always about capturing the journey, as messy, joyful, and real as it is.
