Somehow I made it 17 years as a photographer and have never had a portrait shoot at the NC State Fair in Raleigh… until now! Absolutely thrilled to photograph Amanda and Joe and their crew again. I’ve worked with them many times and their children never cease to amaze me. They’re polite, helpful, funny, and consistently super nice to me and try to listen so hard, even when tired or hungry. Just genuinely good kids. We did this shoot early in the morning before the fair got really busy and enjoyed playing games, eating food, exploring fun houses, and getting lost around the circus that is the state fair. It was a beautiful morning and we had a lot of fun. It’s always a pleasure catching up with this group of amazing people!
Geoff and I photographed Erin and Jessica’s wedding 10 years ago in 2015, which is so hard to believe! They’ve since had an AMAZING daughter, and this year I was tasked with photographing some multigenerational photos with Erin, Jessica, their daughter, and Jessica’s mom Elizabeth. We had an incredible time at Blackwood Farm Park in Chapel Hill. We took portraits, a picnic was packed, freeze dried mangos were turned into mustaches, and races were won and lost on a hill with a lone tree. Erin and Jessica have been in my CSP life for so long and I was feeling all the feels working with them again and interacting with their intelligent, hilarious, and kind-hearted daughter. She kept everyone laughing and on their toes. We exchanged photos of our cats. Love all these women and the joy they all brought to this photo session.
