Aleya | Raleigh NC Senior Portrait Photography

Having competed in many scholarship pageants over the years, I had photographed Aleya following one of her former pageant wins. While making our way to our first shooting destination and the matter of posing arose, she resounded confidently in her knowledge. She was indeed adept and confident, and we had a truly delightful shoot. Aleya is both a talented singer and an accomplished cellist. When conversing over shooting ideas, and having done several recent cello shots, we decided to attempt something inventive. A suitable location presented itself and under the fleeting glimpse of twilight, we produced some striking cello shots. Aleya was a remarkable joy to work with and we all had a marvelous time.

 
 

Eden | Raleigh NC Senior Portrait Photography

Eden was very gracious and arrived early to experiment with a few creative shots. She was naturally comfortable in the spotlight, helping us achieve some beautiful images from the shoot. Being an accomplished musician specializing in both classical piano and cello, for simplicity sake we decided the cello would be easier to move about. The morning light proved silky smooth and rewarded us with some beautiful images.
