Florida Everglades & Keys

I’m currently home sick with whatever latest plague is going around (of the three things I’ve had to cancel this week, two have informed me that everyone else is also sick – which both comforts me and… doesn’t), and figured I might has well do a little blog post of our February trip to the Everglades and Keys. Most of these are shot on my iPhone (which had its wide-angle broken during this trip, resulting in a weird ring-effect that I kind of liked), and some are shot on a Canon AT-1 film camera with Kodak Portra. If it looks like film, it is. If it looks like an iPhone, it is. You decide! We saw many alligators (I believe the final count was 113), 1 crocodile, 1 manatee that looked like a floating rock, and many birds.

Katie // Mini Headshot Session in Durham

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!

Wylie // Dentist Headshots // Raleigh, NC

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.
