Hannah. NC Bridal Session.

I have been dying to post Hannah's bridal session since we shot it, only a week and a half before her wedding. She is now happily married and my blog is now graced with her stunning beauty :)

Hannah found an amazing location tucked away in the farmlands of Kernersville, NC for our session. I love the barn and the little stream that wound through the field. Gorgeous! Hannah's hair was done by Carla White.

Thomas. Downtown Greensboro Senior Session.

Thomas is cool.
He can do a handstand for more than three seconds.
He's a high school senior this year.
He has a great smile.
We did his senior session together last week.

I love the relaxed feel of this shot.

004

Thomas is good at the serious faces.

006

But he's also good at the goofy faces.

008

I love this shot. Pretty much my fave from the whole session.

009

We ventured into a slightly sketchy alley for part of the session. The texture of the background was awesome! The thought of someone popping out of the doors behind Thomas was not awesome. We didn't stay there long!

I love this simple white wall.

The city lights looked amazing near the end of the session!

Megan. Greensboro, NC Senior Session.

I had been looking forward to shooting Megan's senior portraits ever since we met for their initial consultation at Panera but our first scheduled date was interrupted by rainy weather. We finally met up last week to shoot in downtown Greensboro. Lots of clients choose downtown as a favorite place to have at least part of their session done but I still love shooting there! It's always changing and no two sessions are the same :)

001

The sunlight was so perfect when we started shooting and even though Megan said she was pretty nervous, she didn't look it at all!

002

I love this classic black and white.

I couldn't get enough of Megan's beautiful smile :) She's so gorgeous!

This store always has the cutest, most colorful window displays!

This photo was taken right before Megan and I discussed our love of Beyonce. She showed me her Beyonce "Single Ladies" dance and was spotted by a slightly sketchy guy at a bar nearby. We quickly made our way to another location after that ;)

021

022

I love everything about this photo... the laugh, the colors, the un-posed movement of her hands...

When we realized we were quickly losing our light downtown, we made our way to the campus of UNCG where Megan had found a tire swing under a magnolia tree. The branches hung all the way to the ground and made a sort of secret place right in the middle of campus. Gorgeous!

(For the other photographers reading this; there was actually very little light underneath the tree and I had to push my camera to the limits to get this shot. ISO 1600 on a 5D with a 50mm 1.2 lens at 1/30th of a second, handheld)

The sun was totally gone by the time we finished the session, I've got to get used to the changing seasons! Megan, thanks for being wonderful :) Have a fantastic senior year!
