Dredla family

As a Duke grad, I cringed when I got the text requesting to do a family shoot on UNC’s campus. I also cringed when I realized that Chapel Hill actually is beautiful, and I had a wonderful evening getting to know the Dredla family! My favorite moment of the shoot was when a bride andContinueContinue reading “Dredla family”

Jordan: Class of 2017

Graduation is a major life milestone, and major life milestones deserve pictures. My good friend Jordan graduated from Duke with a degree in linguistics, so he’d be much better at writing something eloquent to put here. I never would’ve gotten through my four years at Duke without friends like Jordan, and I’m so excited toContinueContinue reading “Jordan: Class of 2017”

Bailey Family

Getting to E. Carroll Joyner Park was a bit of a drive, but it was SO worth it to get to hang out with the Bailey family! The forecast said it might rain, but when we actually started to take pictures, it was 85, sunny, and humid. They were champs about the unexpected heat andContinueContinue reading “Bailey Family”

Visitors in Durham

My cousin and his AWESOME girlfriend came to visit me in Durham for a weekend this spring! We had a blast and beautiful weather. Activities included food at Dame’s Chicken and Waffles (their gluten free menu is lacking, unfortunately), a walk in the gardens, and a local carnival that we happened to drive past onContinueContinue reading “Visitors in Durham”

Lauren & Jonathan: Headshots

With real life looming after graduation, it seems like everyone suddenly has a professional corporate headshot instead of a profile picture on Facebook. I was fortunate to get to hang out with my brilliant cousin and her equally brilliant boyfriend to grab a few quick shots of each for applications and their portfolios as ~realContinueContinue reading “Lauren & Jonathan: Headshots”

Clark Family: First Birthday Edition!

When the baby is turning one and the family gets out of the car with their own tin bucket for pictures, you know it’s going to be a good day. I got so spoiled with such a gorgeous, happy baby for my first birthday mini shoot! If you missed the other the Clark Family sessionContinueContinue reading “Clark Family: First Birthday Edition!”

Clark Family: Parents Edition

Whenever I shoot a family session, I always try to get a few pictures of just the couple, and of each parent individually if they’ll let me. Most couples don’t regularly have photos done, and especially after a couple has children, it’s rare for there to be any pictures of just them. Usually, at leastContinueContinue reading “Clark Family: Parents Edition”

Clark Family

I was super nervous heading into my first-ever session with people who weren’t friends or family, and left having made new friends and feeling FANTASTIC about the images we created together! Golden hour + a strawberry farm + a beautiful family = magic. The Clarks have been such a blessing to me, from their easygoingContinueContinue reading “Clark Family”
