Let your story thrive...
..with a tangible thread..
..to life's precious moments.
Raleigh based photographer centered around family, gratitude, and sweet moments to reflect on for a lifetime.
Your Story. Your Roots.
Nice to meet you!
I'm Skyler.
Hey there! My love for photography began with the desire to capture the places I explored, and appreciate my own life MORE. I wanted to remember the views & the emotions I felt along the way. Allow me to do the same for you! Contact with me with any ideas you have - I would love to work with you! And if you have a dog, I'd really love if they joined the photoshoot too!
As I was considering a business name, the word "roots" immediately felt like home. I have lived life striving to stay true to who I am, steady and grounded by my values - true to my roots. I aim to demonstrate that level of authenticity in my photography for myself and my clients. In other words: What is your story, and how can I help you show the world?
Whether you're seeking updated family photos, a sneaky surprise proposal, or pictures just for fun - can't wait to hear from you!
Meet Koda, my chocolate lab. He was my first official model, who not only helped me grow as a photographer, but helped me explore the world through a new set of eyes.
Without Koda, the Lord, & my supportive husband, I wouldn't be where I am today.
