It was an absolute pleasure to take some headshots and candid shots of one of the rehearsals of the Durham Community Chorale! I’ve been part of this community choir since January 2024 and I absolutely love them. It’s such a fun, positive group. I had been looking for a choir to join for quite some time and they fit the bill perfectly. Since joining, I’ve made a lot of choir friends and have a blast singing the large variety of music that our director Melody picks for us. I felt good giving back to the Chorale by doing some branding photos for them that involved taking some headshots of Melody and our accompanist Ramon, small group photos of the DCC8 (a smaller, subsection of the choir that has special concerts and rehearsals), as well as candids of the Chorale practicing for our upcoming winter concert (tomorrow, December 7th!). If you’re interested in joining the Chorale, please check out our website or ask me if you have any questions (we always especially need more tenors and basses, so if you know of any guys in your life that sing, please pass along the info)! We hope that you come hear us sing soon!

Did a little refresh headshot mini session for Jessica! She was disappointed that she wasn’t holding a dog but I’ll get to work photoshopping that later.
Couldn’t be happier to be reunited for a fashion shoot with my pals at Gilded Bridal. I’ve been friends with the owner Zan for quite a long time and we always have the best time. I’ve worked with a few of her models before and they’re all just lovely inside and out. They all tolerated me saying really ridiculous and stupid things for four hours and I can’t thank them enough. We shared a ton of laughs and a great afternoon. So happy to be back in the branding photography world and commercial fashion shoots are one of my favorites. Who doesn’t like photographing incredible women in beautiful dresses? Here’s a smidgeon of the pictures because I had an impossible time narrowing them down.
