Intentional, story-focused brand photography for bold entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and purpose-led businesses in Raleigh, NC and beyond.
Ditch the Stock Look. Own Your Brand Story.
I help purpose-driven entrepreneurs show up with clarity, confidence, and connection through brand photography that goes deeper than a headshot-so their visuals finally match the value they bring and they can connect with their ideal clients and share their story with intention and strategy.
As a visual storyteller, I’ll work closely with your team to create meaningful & ethical imagery that amplifies your mission and drives real impact.

If your family is anything like mine, there’s a whole lot of chaos—and a whole lot of heart.
My four wild, wonderful (and very loud) kids remind me daily that the real moments are the ones that matter most. Your life isn’t perfectly curated — and your photos shouldn’t be either.
I’ll guide you through a session that celebrates connection, not perfection. Because those in-between moments?
That’s the story worth telling.
Ready To Make Something Unforgettable?
Isn't it wonderful?
life is messy. Life Is Beautiful.

To say my photoshoot with Roxanne was amazing is a pure understatement. I laughed, I had fun, and I felt beautiful because she just let me be me and pulled out the best parts of my personality: my smile, my deep belly laugh, my humor, my joy, and what my husband affectionately calls my “72 teeth!”
"I had more fun getting my pictures taken than I have had in months."

Roxanne is a gifted photographer and an absolute joy to work with. Not only does she create beautiful images, she connects with the beauty in your soul. She put me at ease, easily allowing me to not be self-conscious, and to enjoy being photographed. The experience was a blessing. I felt great—beautiful, lifted and affirmed during the photo shoot. And the images were absolutely stunning!
"..truly a gifted photographer who illuminates humanity beautifully."

Working with Roxanne was AMAZING! From the logistics of booking to our incredible session, we enjoyed every second. Her vibe put us immediately at ease and our session felt more like hanging out with an old friend than a normal photoshoot - and that came out in the pictures. We find ourselves scrolling through each photo and smiling bigger with each new one.
"We are so thankful we found her!"

In my time working with Roxanne as my mentor it has truly been the most productive and encouraging. She has given me a road map that cuts out stress and consistent failure that most entrepreneurs experience in hard lessons in their first five years of business. My million questions are always responded to with understanding and wisdom. She has truly been the sole reason I am even able to launch my business in this timeline and her service is one I do not take granted. If you have been on the fence about mentorship, don’t wait and do it. Like do it yesterday because it is so worth it
"TRuly a well of knowledge and wisdom."
