Looking for headshots in Raleigh that feel more like you? A lifestyle photography session is the perfect way to showcase your personality for social media, dating apps, and personal websites. With multiple outfits, on-location shoots in Raleigh or the Research Triangle, and virtual studio backgrounds like coffee shops, city streets, or nature, you can create photos your friends and family will love. Lifestyle photography captures natural, authentic moments that help you stand out online.

Summer is in full bloom in Raleigh! I’m capturing butterflies on coneflowers, sunflowers, and evening primrose—just in time for upcoming engagement and maternity photography sessions. Let’s create stunning, natural images this season!

Spend a peaceful summer morning blueberry picking at Herndon Hills Farm in Durham, North Carolina. This local gem is perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers looking to slow down and enjoy nature. As a photographer, I recommend snapping a few relaxed “plandid” photos when you first arrive—before the sun (and sweat) kicks in. Discover tips for natural-looking portraits and make the most of your farm day photo moments.

I got my first set of greeting cards to sell for the studio. These Bluebird - Happy Birthday cards will be available for sale in my Raleigh Studio 1 for $5 or 5/$20 - envelopes included!

Speaking of greeting cards - did you know I can help you make your own greeting cards with the images from your shoot? Whether it’s senior pictures for graduate cards or engagement photos for save the date cards - let me take one thing off your to-do list and have those cards created and shipped straight to you.

I spent much of Saturday in the studio - helping clients with their international passports from France to Canada to US, as well as some headshots for those needing updated photos for their LinkedIn and business websites.

Sunday I ran my first 5k with my rescue dog Indy at the fundraiser for Second Chance NC Pets in Cary, North Carolina.
