Sam Class of 2014 | Raleigh High School Senior Photographer

1 Comment Children, Portraits, Seniors

I was thrilled when contacted by Sam’s Mom to shoot his senior session.  You see, our daughters have been great friends since Kindergarten.

I didn’t really know Sam, except for chance meetings at their house.  He was always smiling, listening to music or playing his guitar.

  A cool dude!

Our session proved to be an easy going & fun afternoon. We started in downtown Raleigh, and rode around together stopping wherever we thought would be a choice spot to shoot.  I LOVE sessions like this!

I had a spot in mind with blue brick, but then we found THIS brick.

Yes, live music while photographing is a huge perk :)

I think this session became a colored brick mission!

If you can remember a few years ago, I had my ‘colored wall’ that everyone wanted to be photographed by.  They tore it down and now stand apartments.

I practically screamed ‘pull over here!’ when I saw this wall.

And look at that rock star, eh?!

The guy who loves Raleigh.

He had to have this pic.  Rocked the end of day light.

0 Comment Portraits, Seniors

Meet class of 2014 senior Morgan.

This girl’s natural beauty just radiates out of her images!

We began her session where she spends quite a bit of  time – her family owns a local brewery, and we both loved the red brick & decided to incorporate some colorful shots into her session!

One of the many charms of Raleigh is it’s trains …lucky for us one came by during her session!

.

We had a great time strolling the arboretum, finding locations and laughing most of the time :)

It was a typically hot & steamy NC afternoon, but she handled it like a pro …

Farewell Summer Break | Raleigh Portrait Photography

0 Comment A Slice of Life, Portraits

We concluded over the family dinner table tonight that we had the best summer ever.

As the years pass (and too quickly they are), I find myself longing for more summer break.  More time to laugh, lay around & read, swim, travel, play & just BE.  No schedules.

.

I had big dreams of portrait series of my babes this summer, but slimmed that down and stepped away from my camera more than ever.  I watched with my two eyes instead of my lens.  Happy!

But of course I did get a few pics, so I will always remember these sweet faces at these stages in our lives.
