Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Matthew

May 13 | Evan | No Comments | Cary Senior Portrait 04

For Matthew’s senior portrait session, we actually had a split session due to a yearbook deadline and an injury he experienced playing baseball. For the first session, we met at my studio and had a great time even though we had to try to hide one of his arms because of the injury. For the second session, we met at a park a few months later, and those images turned out great too, especially since all of the leaves were starting to change! Not to mention, everyone appreciated having the senior portrait session when the weather was a little cooler! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

Even though he looks quite calm in the images from his pet portrait session, Caesar was a puppy full of energy. I love dogs so I thoroughly enjoy any time I get to photograph them, and I really enjoyed meeting this little guy! Check out the images from his pet portrait session below!

Cary Family Portrait Photographer | Jillian

For Jillian’s first birthday, I talked her mother into a family portrait session that included something I wanted to try… a “cake smash!” They had a beautiful and even more delicious cake made by Trilogy Edibles. It was so cute how Jillian’s face lit up with excitement as soon as she saw that small pink cake just for her, and it was even cuter when she smeared it all over her little face! Check out the images from her first birthday cake smash below!

Cary Portrait Photographer | Alex

May 08 | Evan | No Comments | Cary Senior Portrait 03

I had previously met Alex while photographing Ian’s Bar Mitzvah and thought she would be perfect to collaborate with to help prepare my assistant for senior portrait season. The portrait session went great as she was a natural behind the camera and my assistant could learn what I would need for senior portrait sessions! It seemed like every image I took of her was incredible so it was hard to choose our favorites. She had a great time at her portrait session, and I really enjoyed working with her, so don’t be surprised if she shows up again…Check out a few of the images from her portrait session below!

For his senior portrait session, Zack wanted to show his love for baseball. To do so, he chose to have his senior portrait session at the school and baseball field where he spent so much of his time in Cary. Zack is an extremely talented athlete, but did great modeling. I really enjoyed documenting his love for sports during his senior portrait session! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

Clayton, a talented basketball player from Cary, had a great senior portrait session. We started in my studio in Cary then moved to a local park for outdoor portraits. When we did, the light was so beautiful that most of our favorite senior portraits were the ones taken outdoors! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

Katherina had a great senior portrait session at the beautiful N.C. State Arboretum in Raleigh. After only a few minutes of shooting, she was the perfect model, and we even ended up staying longer than originally planned because we were all having so much fun with her senior portraits!

For Chris’s senior portrait session, he wanted to show his love for golf so he originally decided to have his senior portrait session at a golf course. When arriving at the golf course, it was a little crowded so we made a last minute decision to have the senior portrait session in Downtown Raleigh. Turned out to be a great decision as his senior portraits really showed his awesome personality! Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!

2012 – 2013 Sports Photography

Apr 25 | Evan | No Comments | si-leslie-pike

It’s been a great sports season so far! Once again, I had the privilege to take photos at UNC, NCSU and Duke basketball and football games, as well as the Carolina Hurricanes and Carolina Panthers. I had quite a few photos published online on various websites from small town publications to ESPN.com an SI.com. Also had some photos published in ESPN the Magazine and Sports Illustrated, including a two page feature in SI’s “leading off” pages. My personal highlight was photographing the ACC tournament and being on the court photographing (and celebrating with in spirit) when the school I graduated from won their first ACC Championship (go canes)! Below are a few of my favorites that were published:

Cary Senior Portrait Photographer | Cannon

For senior portrait sessions, I usually suggest that seniors bring along mom or another close family member to help with outfits and to hold the iPad to instantly see the photos I’m taking…. But because his mom was traveling internationally, he decided to rock his senior portrait session on his own, and he did a great job! That just meant my assistant/stylist for his photo session had to carry the iPad for us. Check out the images from his senior portrait session below!
