UNC Arboretum Engagement with Dogs

Alexandra and Keegan brought along their two pups for a spring time engagement in Chapel Hill, NC. It was an early spring evening, but the flowers and greenery were at peak bloom. The arboretum was full of graduating seniors who were also taking advantage of the beautiful scenery. We dodged as many students as we could to create a serene environment for this couple’s engagement session. We had a ton of fun incorporating the dogs into their photos, but I also recommended to do some with them as well. Tip! Bring a friend to your engagement session if you’re bringing your furry fam as it’s nice to be able to focus on each other knowing your dogs are in the hands of someone else.

I’ve got plenty of availability for more engagement sessions in 2022 and 2023, so reach out to your Raleigh photographer and we can schedule something!

ONE DAY, EVERYTHING CHANGED

I USED TO HATE PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE

My photography career started in high school with a darkroom class. When learning, I naturally gravitated towards what inspired me: birds, nature, pretty sunsets, patterns, and anything colorful. However, my teacher challenged me to try taking pictures of people. At the time, I protested and instead chose to do self portraits.

It wasn't until 2017 when I was asked to second shoot a wedding that my opinion changed. On that day, I experienced the joys of what make weddings special. I was invited into an intimate and emotionally full day with guests coming from out of state, generations of families putting on their elevated outfits, the raw tears of a first look, and the love pouring out of the couple and its guests. 

Capturing all of this was powerful, rewarding, and energizing. I knew from then on what I wanted to do with my life.
