Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm a family photographer based in Sanford, North Carolina, and a mom who totally gets that late-night scroll through the day's photos-the ones that make you laugh, tear up, and wonder how time is flying so fast!
My vibe? Capturing the real, soul-stirring magic of your family in a way that feels effortless and fun. If you're looking for photos that make you feel something every time you see them, you're in the right place!
reminding you that the beauty lies in your everyday
I once heard a quote that stuck with me: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies." (Diane Arbus) And honestly? That thrill of capturing the perfect shot never gets old. Some moments are too big for words—that’s where I come in, turning your family’s story into images that speak for themselves.
The best photos aren’t about stiff poses or forced smiles. They’re about the little things—the way your kid melts into your hug, the uncontrollable giggles from a dad-sized tickle attack, the in-between moments that make your family yours. Let’s capture it all, just as you are.
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Savannah and her ability to make you feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Savannah was able to swap locations last minute due to a flight school scheduling change and worked with two crazy toddlers (1y.o. and 2y.o.) who didn’t want to stand still and smile. Her ability to capture life, movement, and joy on camera is worth every penny. I’m so happy we’ll have these photos and memories for a lifetime."

"Savannah was lovely! Easy to communicate with and easy to work with. I have one child who is afraid of new experiences/everything and he was completely comfortable with Savannah the whole shoot. Photos came out beautiful. Highly recommend!"

"Savannah is a very professional, organized, and detailed photographer. She listened to my creative direction and offered smart and timely suggestions when needed for my family’s photo shoot. She did great with my little one and showed so much grace and patience. She is so friendly and down to earth, and most importantly: our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL."
