AUTHENTICITY • GIVE • CONNECT • PORTRAITS • COMMUNITY • BELIEVE

I believe we were all created to do great and meaningful things, with unique talents and gifts meant to be shared with the world. In a world, where conformity seems to be the norm, what makes us different- makes us stand out, makes us memorable. #JUSTBEYOU

I believe that service is the rent we pay for being. Community involvement has been a big part of the PBY journey right from the beginning and continues to permeate our brand. #JEANSFORTEENS #HELPPORTRAITRALEIGH

I believe in the power of the printed photograph. I have seen, heard and experienced it first-hand, the impact on one's self-esteem when their portraits are proudly displayed. Studies have shown, a rise in a child's self-esteem when their picture is hanging on the wall in their home. Let's face it, a thumb drive can't do that.  #PRINTYOURLEGACY #EXISTINPHOTOS

I believe that people need to hear that they are worthy... of time, of attention, of respect and of love. I work hard to affirm self-worth and self-value in my clients. I want to connect with them and make them feel special throughout the entire PBY experience. That is the difference between a pretty picture and a treasured portrait. #SELFLOVE #IAMENOUGH

I believe in community over competition.  It's one of the reason's I created 919Seniors and 919². Everyone needs a tribe that makes it safe to be who we are, where we are all equals and different and that's ok. We are perfectly imperfect, fearlessly flawed and brilliantly beautiful. There is a unicorn in all of us. #IAMTHATGIRL

I believe that God is the greatest artist of all time. And that every human being is an expression of his handiwork. I have the honor of capturing that which was created in the image and likeness of perfection.
