{Maddie} Class of 2014 |Chapel Hill High School Senior Photographer

Meet Maddie,  true beauty with a sparkle in her eyes that never stops!

Mom contacted me this Spring to see if we could squeeze in a senior session before graduation.

Luckily we found a date that fit all of our schedules.

We met at their  home for hair & make-up with my favorite Elaine of www.elaineharrisonmakeupartistry.com.  (She’s the BOMB!)

We began photographing around Maddie’s home,  jumped in their SUV & ventured out to downtown Chapel Hill after that.

This session was a total BLAST!

.

See what I mean about sparkle?!

Chapel Hill has a large collection of painted murals, most within walking distance.

 Lots of great urban backdrops – could have photographed Maddie there ALL day!

Maddie will be attending veterinary school this fall, so when I found this mural online I KNEW this was a must!

This mural is East facing and was a little worried about the direct sun.  However, this session was SO perfect that it clouded up for us AND I could capture those sparkling baby blues for our last locale!

(Virtual high five!)

A Relationship to Celebrate | Raleigh Portrait Photographer

I was contacted to capture beautiful portraits to celebrate this lovely couple’s upcoming ten year anniversary.

Initial thoughts were to dress in the original wedding attire, shoot portraits & capture a few fun moments.

During our pre-session consult, we talked about what they like to do together & developed this session to tell a story.

This is a beautifully romantic story.

We should all be so lucky to experience this much love!

.

10 devoted years.

Swing dancing classes is something that both of them enjoy, and I was excited for the opportunity to capture this for them.

Come to find out even though new frocks were purchased, the choice was to wear dress she wore to her rehearsal dinner – perfect for this fun dancing series!

OH I can’t forget to mention that they were so prepared for this session, we even had music playing :)

Biking is another activity they enjoy together.

Initially we were going to have two bikes & capture some action, but the second bike wasn’t readily available, so we opted for this :)

And went for a walk in the perfectly soft end of day light…

Was SO happy when the stars aligned and we were able to have this session!

Due to many different reasons including weather, we rescheduled this session a handful of times.

The weather was P E R F E C T as were these SWEET kiddos!

.

Began the session at home, Mom wanted to capture them as they are today.  Pogo sticks & cell phones :)

We WERE going to travel to a local park to find a colorful back drop, but a few days before the session she texted me a photo of their azaleas – WOW! and YES!

We caught the light of the ‘golden hour’.  LOVE.
