I’m Still Here! | Raleigh Cary Portrait Photographer
Hello! I hope your summer is going well and you are enjoying all of summer’s simple pleasures – pool time, ice cold lemonade & lots of sunshine!
I have recently experienced a hard drive crash, and am digging out from the ruins. Luckily part of my business structure includes a solid back up plan, so nothing was lost. I am quite proud (and relieved) of that!
However, it has been like starting over – having to reinstall programs and recall many many passwords.
Almost there.
(I’ve been feeding my hibiscus my leftover coffee in the morning, and it has never been happier … lol!)
.
I still have summer beach session images to share, and a large family beach session to shoot this coming weekend!
Coming up : Several boudoir photo shoots on the books for August & September & I will announce dates and rates for FALL mini-sessions.
YUP it’s time to plan your holiday photos!!
AND this blogsite is on schedule for a facelift – can’t wait!
Have a great week & see you back here soon.

Laila | Class of 2013 | Raleigh Cary High School Senior Photographer
.
Beauty, brains & a sparkling personality … best describes this class of 2013 high school senior!
.
I know I’ve said this a million times before, but I absolutely enjoy photographing seniors! They have fresh ideas & like to ‘go with the flow’, which in my opinion is a ton of fun.
Not to mention I am just in awe at how GORGEOUS they can be…
.
Laila was a natural – so comfortable with me & the camera (even though she said she was very nervous!)
Most of the time I was getting ready to help her into a pose, and then she’d read my mind and do it on her own, and add her own elegance to the image…
.
.
Not only is she a straight A student, but an accomplished musician as well!
.
We had a lot of fun coming up with different ways to ‘interact’ with her violin…
.
I could photograph her for days … so darn pretty!
.
.
Being a late afternoon HOT summer day, some weather was brewing very close to us. I later discovered that we missed the downpour by about 1/2 mile – nice!
I love to incorporate the elements into my imagery, and L O V E the way she posed for this image …
.
We had a lot of fun cruising this park, looking interesting spots to take her pic. I knew we had to have at least one hair-action shot!
.
Sweet & lovely.
.
Thank you Laila for braving the heat & weather – you were a blast to photograph & I can tell you have a very bright future ahead of you!

A Morning with Baby R | Raleigh Cary Baby Lifestyle Photographer
.
A few weeks ago I had the extreme pleasure to meet Mr. R. It was his one month birthday!!
He is the first child of a great friend of mine, who has also taught two of my children. She is amazing to say the very least!!
I arrived at a ‘decent’ morning hour, and we let Mr. R tell us what he was in the mood to do. He is SUCH a sweet and mellow little man. Ohh, I hope I get to babysit him, hint hint… 🙂
Here are a few favorites from our morning together …
.
“She went that way” !!
.
He was not smiling yet, but I could totally see it in his eyes!
.
He is known for his ‘old man’ forehead – love those little wrinkles & wonderfully chubby cheeks 🙂
.
A whole lot of love going on in this house. I did in capture a lot of special mother & son moments, that we have decided to keep private.
.
Thank you for sharing your little man with me! I can’t wait to see that baby smile soon!

Rebecca’s Pilates Session | Raleigh Cary Pilates Portrait Photographer
.
I was so excited when I was contacted to do this shoot. I love exercise, and really enjoy helping clients capture & celebrate their strength and beauty!
This lovely & impressive client is moving across country soon, and wanted me to take these images for her to have to start up her business in her new locale.
.
I am embarrassed to say, I have never been in a true Pilates studio, and had no idea these reformers were an integral part of the work out … very cool!
.
It’s all about the resistance … who looks this pretty while working out anyway?!
.
My ‘portrait eye’ was loving this shoot …
.
Strength.
.
.
She made it look so easy. I definitely gained new inspiration – thank you Rebecca!
.
Peaceful power. Love it!
.
I l o v e this portrait. Skin tingler for me.
.
Graceful.
.
We are both thrilled with the way this last image turned out. You are awe-inspiring Rebecca!
