Senior Spotlight: Hannah | Raleigh High School Senior Photographer

Lovely miss Hannah is a senior at Green Hope High School. Like me, Hannah loves to find old buildings that have lots of character and I was really excited when she said she wanted to use a location like that for her session. I think the place we ended up turned out to be really great! Congratulations, Hannah--enjoy your last semester!

Priscilla | Raleigh Photographer

It's always nice when you can go out shooting with another photographer and just have fun. That's what Julie Lindsey and I did. Her niece, Priscilla, was so funny and sweet. Her look reminded me a lot of Taylor Swift (especially in the 4th photo). Actually, when I was taking some of the last ones shown in this post, she was reminding me of Hayden Panetierre. And in the second to last photo, she reminds me of Claire from Lost. By the way, imagine I'm saying "Claire" with an Australian accent, like Claire's mum : ) So, perhaps we could just agree that she's versatile? And, obviously, extremely photogenic.

So nice to meet you, Priscilla! And, Julie, looking forward to getting together again soon!

Jeremy Cowart Workshop

A few weeks ago I went to one of Jeremy Cowart's workshops. If you aren't familiar with his work, you should be. Not only is he an amazing celebrity photographer, he's also someone who seeks to change the world for good--and not just through photography, but in any way he can. He founded Help Portrait and, as I type this, he's in Port-au Prince loving and helping the people of Haiti. Follow him on Twitter to get updates on the projects he's working on. Here is an image of a newly married couple he shot in Haiti. The sign reads, "Love Conquers All" in Creole.

During part of the workshop, we divided into groups and photographed a model. Our group got Kasey Reed and she was fantastic! Anyone in Tennessee looking for a model should get in touch with Kasey. She is represented by MAX|AMAX.
