Photography Services in Chapel Hill, NC
Family Portraits
Family photos should feel like your family—not like a performance. I’ll guide you into good light, keep things moving, and give you simple direction so you get a mix of connection, personality, and a few “everyone looking at the camera” photos, too.
- Great for annual family photos, milestones, and multi-generation groups
- Gentle guidance that still looks natural
- Options for digital files, prints, and albums
- Online gallery for choosing favorites
Senior Portrait Photography
Senior portraits are part photo session, part permission to be yourself. You’ve accomplished something amazing!! We’ll plan a session that fits your style—location, outfits, and overall vibe—so the photos feel like you.
- Location + outfit planning help (Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Durham/Hillsborough)
- Variety for yearbook, grad announcements, and sharing
- Clear direction so you never feel awkward or stuck
- A relaxed session that still stays on track
Professional Headshots
A headshot doesn’t have to feel stiff or corporate. I’ll help you get a clean, confident photo for LinkedIn, your website, speaking gigs, and bios—without making you feel like you’re playing a part.
- Quick, clear direction (no guessing what to do)
- Simple background or an outdoor/office feel
- Images that look professional but still like you
- Great for individuals or small teams
Personal Branding Photography
Branding photos are about showing people what it’s like to work with you—your face, yes, but also your energy, your process, and the details that make your business real.
- Planning help (locations, outfits, and a simple shot list)
- A mix of portraits, behind-the-scenes, and detail shots
- A content library for your website + Instagram + newsletters
- Designed to feel natural, not overly “posed”
Event Photography
If you’re hosting something meaningful, you deserve photos that show what it felt like to be there. I photograph events with a documentary approach – real moments, flattering candids, and the key people you’ll want to remember.
- Parties, celebrations, community events, and performances
- Unobtrusive coverage + attention to the moments that matter
- Organized delivery via online gallery
- Options for individuals, families, or organizations
Dance Performance Photography
Dance photography is its own thing: fast movement, tricky light, and a lot happening at once. I photograph performances with an emphasis on timing, expression, and storytelling—so dancers and families have images that feel powerful and true.
- Performance coverage and studio partnerships
- Consistent workflow for large galleries
- Images that highlight expression, lines, and key moments
- Clear communication around schedules and delivery
Photography Mentoring & Classes
If you want to understand your camera (or Lightroom Classic) without drowning in jargon, I teach in a practical, step-by-step way. You’ll leave with a plan and the confidence to keep going.
- Getting off Auto / learning Manual
- Composition and camera settings that actually stick
- Lightroom Classic editing workflows + organization
- One-on-one mentoring available
Prints, Albums & Wall Art
Digital files are great. Prints are what you live with. I offer professional-quality prints and albums so your photos don’t just sit in a folder.
- Professional prints (small to large)
- Albums
- Wall art options
- Help choosing sizes and finishes
FAQ
Most sessions take place in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, and Hillsborough. If you have a meaningful spot (home, campus, a favorite trail), tell me—those often make the best photos.
If you have a specific season in mind (graduation, fall color, holiday cards), earlier is better. If you’re flexible, reach out anyway and we’ll see what’s available.
Yes! Most people feel that way. I’ll give you simple, clear direction so you’re never left wondering what to do, and you’ll still look like yourself.
Once you book, I’ll send guidance. The short version: coordinated (not matching), comfortable, and nothing that fights for attention.
You’ll hear back from me with next steps, scheduling options, and any questions I need to make sure we plan the right session for you.
You’ll receive an online gallery after your session/event. Timing varies by season and session type—if you have a deadline, tell me up front and I’ll be clear about what’s realistic.
Sometimes. If you’re looking for something short and simple, ask and I’ll tell you what’s currently available.
That’s not my focus. I’m happiest photographing families, seniors, professionals, events, and dance performances. I can give some great recommendations though!
Yes—Carrboro, Durham, and Hillsborough are all in my regular service area. If you’re farther out, reach out and I’ll let you know what travel would look like.
