chapel hill portrait photographer: gabrielle's senior session

last fall i photographed gabrielle's older sister, juliana, for her senior session. i was honored when her mother lynne asked me to come photograph gabrielle a few weeks ago.  we met early one morning in chapel hill's coker arboretum for her session, which turned out to be the perfect location although it was pretty brisk!  the fall color was still very beautiful then. i'm particularly fond of the shots of gabrielle taken within the japenese maple trees. her peach jacket & scarf complimented the brightly colored leaves. the arboretum never fails, no matter what time of year! 

gabrielle is now a senior in high school and shares my love of photography. it was fun to talk shop with her. she's yearbook staff photographer at her school. she enjoys photographing people and when she gets the opportunity, travel photography. gabrielle is planning to attend college next fall and is thinking about either penn state, james madison university, or possibly george mason.  best of luck to gabrielle... i know she will do well! what a sweet and talented young lady she is.

jen's maternity session

last friday afternoon, i got together with several of my girlfriends in chapel hill, who all happen to be photographers. we agreed to photograph our friend, jen, for her maternity session. her husband, hal, and their little boy, cameron, joined in on the fun and we were able to get a few family pics too.

jen is also an incredible photographer herself and i'm amazed at 8 months along, she is still out there shooting assignments! jen's specialties include families, maternity, children, couples, and weddings. please be sure to visit her website here: j.b haygood photography. i'm excited to be working with her next march as a second shooter at a wedding to be held in duke chapel! i feel so fortunate to belong to such a great group of very talented women, also known as the "photo chicks"!

jen's baby girl is due in a month and we can hardly wait to meet her. I can see some baby photos in the future! thanks for giving us ladies the opportunity to photograph you and your sweet family. Congratulations go out to jen, hal, and cameron... we all are so excited for you!

engagement session: samantha+kyle 05.30.09

chapel hill was the location for samantha and kyle's e-session this past saturday. it was only fitting, as samantha is a graduate of unc and a big tarheel fan (as you can see from her tattoo!). we started out in the coker arboretum, then to the well on unc's campus, and finished up on franklin street. thanks to my fabulous "reflector gal" lisa of viva photography for all of your help and your wonderful ideas. lisa and i are really looking forward to photographing samantha and kyle's wedding at the penn house in reidsville this coming august. what a fun, fun couple...we just know their wedding is going to be a blast!
