Shelley Named 2016 Rangefinder 30 Rising Stars
- I remember when I first read the email. It was the day Hurricane Matthew moved into central North Carolina, I picked up a Wendy’s chili and a frosty, and watched the rain and wind while I ate in the truck. As usual, I started browsing through my phone, when a notification popped up with th [...]
North Carolina | Biking and Camping in South Mountains State Park
- I headed into South Mountains State Park a couple weeks ago for a waterfall adventure engagement session. On the way there, I spent the night camping in Uwharrie National Forest. Actually, I boondocked at a free spot in the middle of nowhere. It was really a nice private spot! Just like it did for [...]
Some Tips Regarding Wedding Day Weather
- 1. Forecasts aren’t accurate until the day before. Sometimes not until the day of. We all know that the forecasts change as the week goes on. When you look at your wedding forecast a week or two out, it will probably say its going to rain (seriously, the extended forecasts always seem to call for rain on weeke [...]
Amber + Johnnie | North Carolina Countryside Elopement
- Josh and I are really big fans of intimate weddings like this. We had only fifteen people at our own wedding in Bermuda, so we know from first hand experience just how wonderful planning an event like this can be. You get to enjoy every single guest invited, get extra time for portraits, can keep things flexible with [...]
Rachel + Paul | Free-Spirited Beach Wedding
- This wedding has to go down as one of our most memorable events. We had actually never met Rachel and Paul before their wedding day. I spoke with Rachel over the phone once before she booked. It was right at the time when Josh and I first moved into our camper and we bonded over the fact that she and Paul [...]
May Snow on the Blue Ridge Parkway | Boone, North Carolina
- When I arrived in Boone the other week it was pretty warm out. Hot enough to wear shorts at least. But if there is one thing we have learned about being in the mountains, its that the weather is unpredictable. The day that it snowed- we had absolutely no idea what was coming. We had planned a backpacking trip up [...]
Rough Ridge Hike | Boone, North Carolina
- Rough Ridge is a hike that I actually found while browsing through Instagram. Its a really popular spot close to Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina and its located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Finding the actual trailhead was a little illusive- as there are a lot of [...]
Hawksbill Mountain + Linville Gorge Wilderness | North Carolina
- Hawksbill Mountain is an absolute gem of a hike. I had a day all to myself as my business partner caught up on editing, so I decided to check out some hikes I had seen online. I was actually on my way from Boone to the Table Rock hike when I drove right past the parking area for Hawksbill Mo [...]
Hiking Linville Gorge | North Carolina
- Back in the day when I ran an outdoors group, I had the chance to visit many places across North Carolina. I had been to the Linville Gorge, Grandfather Mountain, and all around Boone and Asheville. Its been very fun re-exploring these spots many years later. It has been much too long sinc [...]
