I always love meeting new people but it’s always especially fun to photograph your friends. Katie and I have been friends since photographing her wedding in 2017 and I adore working with her and also watching Scream movie marathons with her, both in equal measure. She’s one of the most intelligent and calmest women I’ve ever met, and I respect the hell out of her (and her amazing shoes, blazers, and pantsuits). So fun to update her headshots during a mini session in Durham!
I’ve never worked with anyone who has brought a giant inflatable tube of Crest toothpaste to their shoot before and now I’m wondering why the heck not. Wylie is a very fun dentist. We had inflatable Crest! We had a plush pink toothbrush! We had a shark cardigan! We had an amazing time! Wylie is in the process of opening a dental practice in Raleigh, NC with his wonderful wife Sharon. They’re originally from the area and, having lived in a few different places, recently moved back to NC with their cat who is black and also named Jack. The photo session was definitely meant to be. I had a ton of fun running around Raleigh taking new headshots of Wylie while talking teeth, cats, and cardigans.
Delighted to have these folks over to the house for a mini family photo session in Durham! Jaymie works with my good friend Jen, and since all my favorite people also know all the best people, we hit it off right away. They were a ton of fun to work with and their kids were super sweet. Little brother loves Home Alone (only called me a filthy animal once) and Mario and Luigi. Big sister loves Animal Crossing and crochet. They both love playing rock, paper, scissors but are the first kids I’ve seen to develop the advanced RPS technique of slowing way down before throwing their choice in hopes of buying themselves a millisecond to see what their sibling threw down first. Unfortunately, they both do this at the exact same time, and therefore it ends in extreme slow-mo and nobody wins. Thankfully they’re great at being redirected. Loved every second photographing this fun and adorable crew of four!
