Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Alex

High school senior portraits during the North Carolina Summer can be a little bit… hot. Luckily, for Alex’s senior portrait session in Cary, we had particularly mild weather for a Summer high school senior portrait session! He was even able to wear a long sleeve pullover for a few shots without melting away. He also had a button up shirt with a bow-tie he tied himself for his senior portraits. Good variety and choices for outfits plus the mild weather and confident personalty lead to some wonderful senior portraits!

Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Austin

Nov 15 | Evan | Comments Off |

Mainly because I remember my own awkwardness from in high school, I am always impressed when high school senior guys do a great job and look so comfortable in their senior portraits. Austin was certainly comfortable during his senior portrait session and naturally fell into poses for his senior portraits. We got a good mix formal senior portraits in the button up shirt and some casual portraits in the polo and even a few with the lacrosse stick. When I get questions about what outfits are best for senior portraits, and I get that question from parents of seniors a lot, the first of many bits of advice is to bring a variety with at least one outfit being as formal as your senior will feel comfortable in and one that is how the high school senior dresses normally… and then some in between! If you have questions about outfits and accessories for your own senior portraits, just ask me!

Raleigh Senior Portrait Photographer | Hunter

Nov 10 | Evan | Comments Off |

Even though Hunter attends one of my own arch rivals from my high school days when I was a senior (go Chargers!), I was still happy to take his senior portraits in Raleigh. I do have to admit though, I was glad he didn’t show up in a bunch of green and white! In all seriousness though, Hunter was very relaxed in front of the camera which really helped to make his senior portraits come out great. A lot of times I get asked where are the best locations for senior portraits and I certainly have my goto locations for senior sessions, but Hunter’s mom had a great idea to have his senior portraits made at some locations where she took him when he was much younger. Great idea for senior portraits as it adds even more personal meaning to the portraits of your high school senior!

Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Keegan

I’ve always felt that Cary Academy is a great location to take high school senior portraits. The well kept grounds and impressive architecture gives a little bump to the classiness of the senior portraits! I was really happy that a lot of seniors in the 2014 class wanted to take their senior portraits there and Keegan was one of the first of many seniors this year to request it. While we had to wait a few minutes for the rain to stop, afterwards he had these cool clouds and soft light that I love for portraits. After just minutes into the senior session, he seemed comfortable in front of the camera and with all those factors coming together, we came away with great senior portraits!

We had a lot of fun during Carrie’s senior portrait session in Raleigh. She was really easy going which lead to comfortable and confident senior portraits. We also had nice weather and the location picked out for senior session was not crowded at all which always is a plus! Carrie also had some creative ideas and a good idea of what she wanted for her portraits, something not all seniors are prepared for.

Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Matthew

For Matthew’s senior portrait session, we actually had a split session due to a yearbook deadline and an injury he experienced playing baseball. For the first session, we met at my studio and had a great time even though we had to try to hide one of his arms because of the injury. For the second session, we met at a park a few months later, and those images turned out great too, especially since all of the leaves were starting to change! Not to mention, everyone appreciated having the senior portrait session when the weather was a little cooler! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

Cary Family Portrait Photographer | Jillian

For Jillian’s first birthday, I talked her mother into a family portrait session that included something I wanted to try… a “cake smash!” They had a beautiful and even more delicious cake made by Trilogy Edibles. It was so cute how Jillian’s face lit up with excitement as soon as she saw that small pink cake just for her, and it was even cuter when she smeared it all over her little face! Check out the images from her first birthday cake smash below!

I had previously met Alex while photographing Ian’s Bar Mitzvah and thought she would be perfect to collaborate with to help prepare my assistant for senior portrait season. The portrait session went great as she was a natural behind the camera and my assistant could learn what I would need for senior portrait sessions! It seemed like every image I took of her was incredible so it was hard to choose our favorites. She had a great time at her portrait session, and I really enjoyed working with her, so don’t be surprised if she shows up again…Check out a few of the images from her portrait session below!

For his senior portrait session, Zack wanted to show his love for baseball. To do so, he chose to have his senior portrait session at the school and baseball field where he spent so much of his time in Cary. Zack is an extremely talented athlete, but did great modeling. I really enjoyed documenting his love for sports during his senior portrait session! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

Clayton, a talented basketball player from Cary, had a great senior portrait session. We started in my studio in Cary then moved to a local park for outdoor portraits. When we did, the light was so beautiful that most of our favorite senior portraits were the ones taken outdoors! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!
