Corbin-Spain Civil Ceremony

I had the good fortune earlier last month to photograph these two and their family during and after their civil ceremony. Check out these highlights of a handful of my favorites! After learning my clients love more dramatic imagery toward later editing of the set, I began incorporating HDR styles with greater detail and color to make them pop. I've enjoyed the style so much that I plan to continue the aesthetic in my future portraiture work! Do you prefer more soft images, or more dramatic images with clarity and oomph?

Facello's Fall Photos

Nov. 7, 2016 Taking these photographs for the Facello family last month was my pleasure. We had fun shooting glitter portraits, and the evening sky over Lake Lynn was romantic.

Location Research - Downtown Raleigh, Fayetteville/Capital District

There were a lot of homeless people sleeping at sunrise in downtown on Fayetteville St. Another issue would be the endless festivals each weekend on that street. There was a bit of nice light in pockets, but as far as the sun went, the buildings generally blocked it. The capital area is very pretty. These are unedited shots of my husband, he was a stand-in for research this morning. His expressions are perfect. What might be nice is Nash Square or Moore Square, but again, homeless people might be trying to sleep.

So many baby images

The 366 project is still going at silasking.wordpress.com and he's seven months now, cutting two super sharp little teeth through his bottom gum. Here are a few more recent photos and instagrammed posts.

Otherwise, there is a 25% off Mother's Day sale for sessions and prints purchased within the month of May, and my Saturday's are open to shoot any graduation images, newborn, family portraiture, etc.,...even architectural photography--it all applies, man. :)

My 21st/22nd is booked up and there's also the Artsplosure festival in downtown Raleigh that I'm excited to visit at some point.
