The Barajas girls

My sister in law recently asked me to do some photos of her and my nieces. We all, always have so much fun together! I was honored that she asked and couldn't wait to get this session going! We had fun playing outside in the leaves, and we laughed so hard at them trying to push Tracy on the tired swing! Hailey & Brooke are always full of energy and having fun! When these girls are around, there's no shortage of laughter!

Musician JBryant | Preview

Tonight I met and did a shoot with Jeremy aka JBryant he is a hip hop artist from Greensboro, NC. We've been talking for some time about creating some images together! It was so nice to finally meet this talented guy and collaborate with him! Here is a little preview of my shoot with him. I really wanted to stretch my style and experiment with a different look and mood. Jeremy's request to do the shoot at night definitely helped challenge me. Check back soon for the rest of the images! 

Emily + Trey | Love Shoot

Meet Emily & Trey! Emily is a dear friend of mine and former coworker from my waitress days. She has the biggest, sweetest heart and vibrant personality! Trey has been serving in the Army and has been overseas for a year. Upon Trey's return to the states, Emily asked me to photograph them. We spent the day walking around Asheboro, NC finding little nooks and crannies with wonderful character! Their kind of love isn't one that you find every day. Thank you Trey for your service to our country, and thank you for the honor of capturing your love! 

Torii | Portraits

Torii is one of my very dear friends! We ventured down to the Outer Banks the other day and spent the afternoon eating ice cream, flopping around in the ocean, hanging out at the dive shop Torii used to work at and walking around Kitty Hawk. Torii is a mermaid at heart and loves being in the water, I'm pretty sure there's no place she'd rather be than in the ocean! I had so much fun photographing Torii, thanks for such a fun day!

Keely | Portraits

I have spent the majority of the past month with my dear friend Keely! She is so sweet and she's more like my little sister! Keely is a tomboy at heart and plans on enlisting in the Navy next fall. She wants to find herself a handsome Marine husband and travel the world! She loves to read and has the sweetest spirit, you can see it in her eyes! We've been up in Pennsylvania the past week on vacation. We're staying in Dallas, PA and it is the quaintest town with so much character! We decided it was the perfect location for a little shoot, we utilized the yard and porch of the house we're staying in and then headed out to the small downtown. The rain decided to greet us but we had fun shooting in it regardless!
