Sophie | Raleigh NC Senior Portrait Photography

Meet Sophie.  Class of 2021 superstar – adventurous, smart & a ton of fun to be around!

Sophie has been playing volleyball for 6+ years, mostly at national level, so after her pro hair & make up,  we decided to begin her session in the studio with volleyball portraits.  With my low ceilings, it really was hilarious to get the action shots lol!  And wait until you scroll to see her ‘Tyra’ volleyball portrait – awesome.

Sophie’s school did not offer the traditional black cape senior portraits, so we photographed those next.  Then it was time to head on location downtown Raleigh, and we finished up at the NC Museum of Art.

One of my favorite photo shoots, enjoy the photos!

Isabel | NC Senior Portraits Photography

Meet Isabel!  Sweet, funny and kind.

Have known Isabel for several years, photographed her sister last year, and was excited to finally get to know her better!

We had THE perfect photo shoot in Raleigh – can’t EVEN believe the flower field we photographed.  With her joy & her smile, it was the best day 🙂

We began in the studio with beautiful magazine style portraits, and then head out on several locations downtown Raleigh.

Thank you Isabel for being so fantastic to photograph, enjoyed every minute xo

Izzy | Raleigh Senior Portraits Photography

Meet IZZY!  Fun, musical, beautiful, adventurous and truly one of the kindest people I’ve met lately!

This senior portrait session was so much fun, still laughing thinking about this beautiful day with this amazing senior.

We began in the studio with Hollywood style portraits, and THE most amazing Hollywood waves hair style.  So perfect for Izzy, just one of her four looks we photographed that day, including a gorgeous end of day golden hour in a field.

I love to begin with magazine style portraits in the studio, before heading out downtown Raleigh and about.

Thank you Izzy for the BEST day sweet girl!

McKayla| Senior Portrait Raleigh

Get ready for a whole lot of pretty!

Mckayla has the prettiest and warmest smile, so fun to photograph and be around.

Her session began in the studio with black drape classic senior portraits.  Mom had taken her to a local company, but was unhappy with the results.  First time I’ve photographed this style, am pleased that Mom and Mckayla love her senior drape portrait!

Then things got more fun and we played some volleyball in my studio with low ceilings – lol!  Mckayla has been playing volleyball for many years, and I’m so glad that we captured this for her senior portraits.

Then we head out on location, just a breeze to photograph her.  Mckayla & Mom, thank you for a fantastic day!

Louise | Class of 2020 | Raleigh Senior Portraits Photographer

I first met and photographed Louise 2 years ago, when she came to the studio for the Project Beauty campaign.  Just one of the nicest, kindest people I’ve ever met!

Louise was back in the studio with her family (pre-pandemic) for updated family portraits celebration to include parent’s anniversary and graduations of Louise and her sister.  It was such a fun morning, adore this family that I’ve known for over 10 years.

We began with professional hair & make up for all the ladies, lots of laughter & girl talk!  We then photographed studio portraits of Louise and the family.  The first image here actually won me Bronze award with the Portrait Masters – I love it so much, and how Louise completely opened up to me & the camera.

We stepped out front of the studio for some urban setting portraits for Louise,  thankful to have so many great locations to photograph my seniors so close to the studio!

One more outfit change, and we headed back outside to finish up the session.

Congratulations on graduation Louise, I know this season of pandemic hasn’t been the easiest.  Class of 2020 will shine extra brightly!

Amaya | Raleigh Senior Portraits

Sharing sunshine with you today this Tuesday, I think we all could use a little these days 🙂

Beautiful Amaya & her senior portraits.

This young artist has so much style, and the kindest personality – her photo shoot was one for the books!

We began in the studio with her fabulous 60’s look (LOVE) , she is stunning in this yellow dress.  We photographed two gorgeous outfits in the studio,

and then head out on location downtown Raleigh for ‘city’ vibe portraits.

OF course we had to end the day with the glowing golden hour, truly perfect.

Natalie Class of 2020 | Raleigh Senior Portraits

First of all, let me start by saying HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY Natalie!  Hope it’s a fantastic day 🙂

Natalie’s senior portrait session was one for the books for sure!  We began in the studio with professional hair & make up (included in ALL sessions!), and then with portraits in the MOST beautiful prom dress I’ve ever seen, the floral detail was stunning!  I love when my seniors bring their prom dresses, and we create stunning legacy portraits <3

Next we headed downtown, a short drive from the studio, cruised around on a perfectly HOT fall afternoon that didn’t phase Natalie at all.  (We also had our hair & makeup artist with us for any needed touch ups)

So much fun, and such a natural beauty.  We ended the day in THE most gorgeous golden hour I’ve seen in a while, truly was the perfect session for the sweetest girl!

 

Thank you Natalie & Kelly for choosing me to be your photographer!  Loved every minute!

Taylor Class of 2020 | Raleigh Senior Portraits Photographer

Amazing Taylor!  As bright as the sun shines in the summertime, so much fun to be with and photograph!

Fun fact – have known this beautiful girl since preschool days, and she may or may not given my daughter a hack-haircut while playing barber shop at age 3 haha!

I was thrilled when her Mom reached out for senior pics, I adore this sweet girl so much.  We began in the studio with hair & make up, and then captured some magazine style portraits in her stunning prom dress.  An 18×24 framed print hangs in their foyer!

Next we head out on location downtown Raleigh.  Taylor is so vibrant and fun, we truly had the best time laughing all around downtown.  Such a joy to photograph!

We ended Taylor’s shoot in the most perfect field during the last light of day, the golden hour.  Taylor blew me away, just wait until you scroll down to see the pics.

Thank you Taylor & Missy for the BEST day!

Frances Class of 2019 | Raleigh Senior Portraits Photographer

Meet Frances!  Class of 2019 Cardinal Gibbons graduate.  Lucky me, have known Frances since elementary days, and have enjoyed her and her parents company for many years now.

Frances’s senior portrait session was one for the books!  We had to change dates a few times due to the crazy wet spring weather we had, but this day was perfection.  We had so much fun cruising around downtown Raleigh and capturing these beautiful portraits of her.  Her family joined us, and if you scroll to the bottom, you will see one of the family photos I captured of them!  (Separate post coming for the family photos)

And the golden hour sunset was perfection!  We ended her session in a field that I found by accident (behind a car parts store lol) and she danced and laughed, and shared all of her joy with me.   Frances is one incredible young lady, and one of the kindest people that I have the pleasure of knowing 🙂

A huge congrats to Frances, who will be heading to NC State this Fall!!  GO PACK!

One family photo for now… so much love in this photo!

Raleigh NC Senior Portraits | Abby

Sometimes you get to photograph a person that is so extraordinary, so kind & absolutely so beautiful inside AND out.  That is THIS girl!  Gorgeous Abby is not only super smart, but she is hilariously funny, an amazing musician/singer AND a fantastic dancer.  An all around natural beauty!

We began her session in the studio with hair & make up by Kristi with Wink Hair & Make Up.  Abby and her Mom wanted some studio portraits, so we went for old Hollywood Glam (love loove)  We also captured some stunning dancer style portraits, so incredible to shoot!

Then we headed downtown and to the art museum, guitar in hand, and literally laughed and enjoyed the afternoon as if the world was shining just for us.  SO much fun.  I adore this girl so much, and so happy to have had the honor to photograph her radiance!

Seniors!  I still have two spring spots open and am now booking summer AND Fall 2020!  The best way to contact me is through the contact page here on my website.  I look forward to hearing from you.
