Raleigh Bat Mitzvah Photographer | Deena
Mar 31 | Evan | No Comments |
I’m always happy to return to the Raleigh Renaissance Hotel. I have so many wonderful memories both as a guest at my own wedding and working as a wedding or bar and bat mitzvah photographer at the Raleigh Renaissance Hotel at North Hills, Raleigh. Deena’s Bat Mitzvah was another wonderful event that I was happy to be the photographer for. Not only was I the photographer for the bat mitzvah, but also the Happy Smile Photo Booth was rented to get fun and unique photos of the bat mitzvah guests during the celebration. And this Bat Mitzvah was quite the celebration that the family and friends all had a good time at. The girls almost immediately took off their shoes to start the bat mitzvah party, so I knew it was going to be a party filled with a lot of dancing. Of course it was also filled with lot’s of love and good times for the family and guests as the celebrated the wonderful milestone for Deena and her family.
Sports Photographer | Maryland vs UNC

I don’t mind when teams break out special uniforms for games. In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing different shoes or jerseys more often. As you can tell by the design of this website, I’m a fan of the color grey. So it should come to no surprise that I loved the all grey UNC jerseys! Senior night at UNC was a great one to photograph.

The Georgia Tech vs University of North Carolina basketball game was part of The American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer program. Carolina was sporting pink Air Jordans which looked great (but I’m glad they didn’t go with pink uniforms like they went with all grey for senior night). Like most basketball games, it was fun photographing this game as well and it’s always good when we can raise awareness for something like cancer research.
Sports Photographer | NCSU vs UNC

Rivalry games are always fun to photograph. When NCSU and UNC play, there is certainly a little more atmosphere in the Dean E. Smith Center than other games, besides the Duke game anyway! I’ve always felt that fans care way more about rivalries than the actually players do, I guess fan is short for fanatic!

As a University of Miami graduate but being born and raised a Tarheel, it’s always bittersweet for me when these two teams play. In football, I usually end of rooting for whichever team has the best chance to make a good bowl game, but it always seems like the underdog is always ruining the other teams season, making it worse for me. In basketball, I just hope for a good game and can find something good about either team winning! The image above was picked up by ESPN on their UNC Basketball Blog.
Sports Photographer | Discover Orange Bowl

The third and final bowl game for me in Florida was The Discover Orange Bowl, in my old stomping grounds, Miami, Florida. Of course when I was in Miami, The Hurricanes were still playing in the real Orange Bowl, but that is a story for another day. The story here was that apparently Clemson didn’t get the memo that they needed to be ready to play because WVU completely dominated them. Not a fun day for an ACC fan but at least the photo above got picked up by Sports Illustrated. Wish I had some way to let the girl from West Virginia University know that she is now an official “super fan” and got her 15 minutes of semi-fame now! I also photographed the Champs Sports Bowl and Capital One Bowl, both in Orlando .
Sports Photographer | Capital One Bowl

The second of three NCAA bowl games I photographed was the Capital One Bowl between South Carolina and Nebraska. I enjoyed taking photos at this game a lot more than I thought I would considering I had no particular interest in either team, but perhaps that’s better! I also photographed the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando and Orange Bowl in Miami.

Anytime I can go to Florida during the winter is a good time. Even better when I get to go for work and photograph NCAA Bowl Games, like the Champs Sports Bowl featuring FSU and Notre Dame. AND even better when Sports Illustrated uses a photo of mine for an article written by Andy Staples. I also photographed the Capital One Bowl in Orlando and Orange Bowl in Miami.

Another day, another UNC basketball game to photograph! That dunk above by P.J. Hairston was one of the sickest dunks I have seen in person in a while. I almost just got up and left after that dunk because I knew if that was I all I could see for the night, I was satisfied! Great game!

Quinn’s senior portrait session was a lot of fun! We had a blast and came away with some great senior portrait photos. I’ve said it before, some seniors are just naturals infront of the camera and when they are like Quinn, it makes my job as a senior portrait photographer easy!

The previous Carolina Panthers game I photographed for Cal Sport Media was hot and we had a huge rain storm but the Panthers got the win. This time, bitterly cold, windy and Panthers lost. Still got some great photos though! Like the one above which was featured on Zuma’s Press’s site as one of their pictures of the day. Here are a few of my favorites:

Our first appointment for Olivia’s senior portraits got delayed because of some hurricane or tropical storm that decided to send Durham a lot of rain and wind. No matter, the second day we picked out turned out to be a beautiful day for a senior portrait session. With mom and sister along for the ride, Olivia had a nice team helping her out at Duke Gardens. She did a wonderful job and we came away with some stunning senior portraits!

I was excited to be Noah’s senior portrait photographer after hearing what he wanted to do. I love photographing seniors on location but was looking forward to having part of his senior portrait in the studio and part on the baseball field. I knew we would come away with some awesome photos for his senior portraits…. Which we did and I gotta be a little more artistic than normal which is always fun!

Nick did an awesome job during his senior portrait session. Like most high school senior guys, I could tell he wasn’t super excited about having senior photos done, but he did a great job and I had a lot of fun being his senior portrait photographer!
