  • Welcome

    Hi there, I'm Tracy and I am a photographer. Photography is a lifestyle that connects me with amazing people and sees me travel to destinations around the world. When I am not on the road photographing weddings and families I am hanging out in the Carolinas. I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy creating it.

KEYSTONE CAMP

Last month I had the opportunity to be part of a project for Keystone Camp, an all girls camp nestled in enchanting Brevard, North Carolina.  Established in 1916, it’s one of the oldest girls camps in the Nation.  The talented and hard working team over at Market Connections is in the process of revamping their website and brochure and I was thrilled to be the photographer for this adventure.    I was living vicariously through all the girls while they enjoyed horseback riding, archery, water sports, the mess hall, rock climbing,  cabin life…and so much more.  Here is a glimpse into the daily life of the Keystone Camp girls.

TABITHA AND DAVID: THE DAY AFTER

I met up with Tabitha and David last month for their day after session!  We started outside at the Boone Hall Plantation and I thought we might all pass out from the heat. Thankfully our next stop was the adorable Pitt Street Pharmacy for some good old fashioned milkshakes.  Lastly, we hit up David’s family beach house on Isle of Palms for even more fun.  It was such a relaxing time and I’m so thankful to have gotten to know you both this past year.  Looks like married life is treating you well.

KATHY AND RAMSEY MARRIED!

If you care anything about tennis, you probably know this bride and groom.  Ramsey Smith, the son of the 1972 Wimbeldon winner, Stan Smith, is the current coach of the Duke Men’s Tennis team.  Kathy Sell was the Princeton women’s tennis coach until recently when she followed her heart and chose to be close to Ramsey in the Carolinas instead of up there in New Jersey.  It was a bold move and it paid off as you can see here.  They got married!  Hilton Head was the perfect setting for this match-up.
