Always a pleasure photographing this beautiful family!
say nice things
Somehow I made it 17 years as a photographer and have never had a portrait shoot at the NC State Fair in Raleigh… until now! Absolutely thrilled to photograph Amanda and Joe and their crew again. I’ve worked with them many times and their children never cease to amaze me. They’re polite, helpful, funny, and consistently super nice to me and try to listen so hard, even when tired or hungry. Just genuinely good kids. We did this shoot early in the morning before the fair got really busy and enjoyed playing games, eating food, exploring fun houses, and getting lost around the circus that is the state fair. It was a beautiful morning and we had a lot of fun. It’s always a pleasure catching up with this group of amazing people!
I had the pleasure of photographing the home of John and Robin Gallagher for the November/December 2025 issue of Chapel Hill Magazine. I have a huge passion for architecture, so it’s incredibly fun for me to photograph editorial pieces centered around both amazing architecture and also the couple’s love of their home. John and Robin are truly incredible people and it was a joy getting to know them and photograph their incredible space. Please read more about their life and home in the “Sculpting Home” piece, starting on page 102. You can find Chapel Hill Magazine online or pick up a copy locally!
