As soon as Skylar said she wanted to use her grandpa’s “classic car,” I could not WAIT for her senior portrait session! Then, I saw the color. Jaw drop. With her red dress, these portraits are simply stunning. We had fun with posing and pretending to drive. But it doesn’t stop there, Skylar also wanted […]

Elise is one of those people that has a calming effect when she enters a room. Her quiet nature and sweet smile are sure to make anyone feel at ease. I am positive those characteristics will serve her and others well as she makes her way in the world. Her laid-back attitude also made her […]

Thankfully we got to the dock at the perfect time during Blythe’s senior portrait session. We spent some time in downtown Kinston for the first shots and then drove out to […]

Laughter is one thing that comes to mind when I think of Chari. She wanted flowers in her senior shoot so we drove down to Historic New Bern and found a few spots full of flowers. We may also have made a stop on the way down when we saw a field of day lilies. […]
