Violinist's Senior Portraits in Kinston, North Carolina

The first time I saw Wrenn McCrae, she was on a stage with her violin in hand playing a beautiful melody. As a violinist myself, I always love seeing young women share their passion for their music. And last night I got to watch Wrenn McCrae perform her senior dance recital with Studio 86, where she began dancing as a preschooler. My little dancer has been able to look up to her for the past 4 years as she has danced at the same studio, and I could not choose a better role model.

With one of the sweetest smiles in town, Wrenn McCrae has won the hearts of her audiences since she first stepped onto that stage. It was a joy to work with her and her family for her senior portraits in downtown Kinston. We found some perfect spots to include her violin in some of the portraits and accentuate her creativity as a musician and dancer.

Wrenn McCrae & Amy, thank you so much for sharing this special year with me. I am so excited to see where you go from here, Wrenn McCrae! Amy, I will definitely be coming to you for more advice on parenting girls. Love y'all!

5 Tips to Make the Most of a Blue Sky in Portraits without a Flash.

One mistake a lot of portrait photographers make constantly is to blow out the sky in their portraits. Raise your hand if that is ever you. My hand is up with you. I have plenty of portraits with the sky completely blown out. And sometimes that is unavoidable - on a gray day or when I want to use backlighting from the sun. But when you have a blue sky like the one below, you want that blue to make it through in your images. Here's how to make it happen without a flash.
