raleigh portrait photographer: derica+ian.


last month i held an end of summer contest to thank my blog and newsletter readers for referrals. the winner would receive a free session and 50 4×6 proofs. derica justice was the lucky winner! she wanted to use her session for new portraits of her and her hubby ian, who haven’t had pictures since their wedding a few years ago. i was super excited to work with derica as she is our fantastic invitation/program/thank you card designer for our wedding!! (pictures of our invitations and interview with derica coming soon).  we loved derica’s work and i thought it was cool that we got this chance to both sort of work with each other’s business. cool!

they wanted some fun and funky pictures downtown with their dog maggie, who was super adorable and well-behaved even though she is terrified to walk over grates, which i found adorable. :)

they wanted their picture by the NC state logo which was sandwiched between duke and unc…and while duke got the cold shoulder, ian decided to take care of unc by positioning this hand over their logo. ;)

raleigh engagement photographer {tamyra and darius}


last weekend was a great start to spring and a perfect day for an engagement portrait session!

i first met tamyra and darius last year as they were searching for their wedding photographer and i am so happy that they chose me because they are just awesome.  this couple is so so fun, vibrant, and hilarious. they had me laughing the whole time.  we hit it off at the consult and i was excited to get to hang out with them during this shoot. needless to say, they’re absolutely adorable and totally in love. i can’t wait to photograph their wedding!

we shot at peace college in raleigh where tamyra goes to school. it was beautiful…and i gotta hand it to the campus for having the greenest grass ever.
