Hiya!! I’m Xine and I’m really glad you’re here. Connection is so important to me and I think if you can connect with who I am as a person, we’ll be able to capture some truly magical moments together.

I’ve been taking pictures since high school, shooting mostly weddings since college, and now in my late twenties settling more into my ideal photo experience that you can read about HERE. My eyes are constantly watching for how the light falls, how it will make a scene to look almost as if it’s a marvelous painting. Warm, vintage and film inspired tones really do it for me. And even though I think I’m an extroverted introvert, truly the sweetest part of my work is connecting with other folks and sharing in the beauty of life together.

I’m a born and raised NC honey. I’ve never felt truly southern since my heritage is in the northeast and the midwest, so I feel like it’s easy to fit into most places. In 2021, I moved to the countryside smack dab in the middle of farms and darling small towns. I’ve always told people that I dream of one day owning chickens and goats and whatnot. Fingers crossed that will come along sooner rather than later.

What keeps my heart inspired is traveling, a good homemade breakfast, getting outside, and spending quality time with my partner and our pup, Waylon.

Speaking of dreams, I’m always coming up with them. A real idea gal. One of my future job titles could be conceptualization strategist, but until then I’ll work towards a life that involves my passions.

I’m a real sucker for natural fiber vintage or sustainable clothing lines. Cotton, linen..they make my heart sing, my body feel good, and they last through the seasons. I have a secondhand resale shop called Roam Co.. That little endeavor has so much potential and I can’t wait to see how she shifts.

My spiritual gift is finding the best third wave coffee shops whenever I’m traveling. My go-to will always be either an iced americano or a perfectly crafted cappuccino. Kind baristas, good shop vibe, well balanced espresso and I’m on cloud nine.

I would tell you about my favorite music but truth is, that always shifts to what feels good at that time. I’m putting together monthly playlists of all the tunes I’m really vibing with. You’ll be able access those, travel announcements, current offerings, and some personal musings by signing up for my newsletter

Say, I’d love to be able to connect with you, learn about what inspires and excites you. My inbox is always open and I’m here to celebrate you.
