Andrea | Raleigh Photographer

This is my friend Andrea. Andrea had talked about how big her hair was when she brushed it out and one day last summer, she brushed it out to show me. I told her we needed to take pictures of her like that, and a few weeks ago, we finally did.
Here she is with her hair the way she usually does it--which I think looks gorgeous. Below that, you'll see the fashion-inspired shots and her big hair (equally gorgeous) : )
Andrea, you're beautiful inside and out!



















































These were taken at the end of the session, just as the sun was about to hit the horizon.
