“Storm is absolutely AMAZING!! She is incredibly talented, professional, and down to earth. She incorporates what you are asking for and also provides her professional eye, which is truly unmatched. I’m so grateful I hired her for my studio maternity shoots, family beach shoots, and newborn photos. Her talents are unmatched.”
Your Family’s Legacy
We believe in capturing the authentic connections and meaningful moments that define your family. With portrait photography designed to become lasting keepsakes, your photos go beyond digital images. We specialize in creating beautiful heirloom albums, wall art, and pieces that will be cherished for years to come.
Based in Jacksonville, North Carolina, our studio creates family portraits for clients throughout Wilmington, Hampstead, Beaufort, Emerald Isle, and the surrounding coastal communities.
We take an editorial approach to family photography by blending natural interaction with thoughtful direction. The result is imagery that feels composed without being staged- refined, but never rigid. We believe in legacy and timeless portraits that go beyond fleeting trends. These are the photos hung on your mantle, gifted to grandma, and preserved in an album. They are carefully crafted portraits that preserve your family’s evolving story with intention.
Each session begins with preparation. An in-home or studio consultation ensures wardrobe, setting, and overall vision are aligned before the camera is ever lifted. Every detail is considered so that your images feel cohesive and effortless.
Your family portrait session includes:
• An in-home or studio planning consultation
• Professional hair and makeup by one of our trusted artists
• Flexible studio time tailored to your family
• A guided portrait session and cinematic ordering appointment
• An image credit toward your artwork collection
Collections begin at $1250 and include twelve images and a handcrafted Tri Folio album.
Most families choose to expand their collection with additional artwork and heirloom albums designed to preserve their portraits beyond the screen.
A $295 creative retainer reserves your session.

The Process

This is where we decide on a date and time and I collect your retainer to book your session. Shortly after I will send our contract over. If we’re planning a studio session we begin at 10am, for outdoor session times may vary depending upon our session goals.
-
Every great session begins with a plan. Ideally I come to you to help pick out clothing, measure walls and get an overall feel for your space so I can begin to design wall art that you and your family will love and cherish.

An approximately 90 minute session where your photo shoot dreams come true.

This is my favorite part. Revealing your beautiful images. Depending upon our timeline we may do a same day reveal or within a week. I am happy to come to your home for a personalized reveal that meets you and your family’s needs.
