Tyeasha & Jeff

An American Tobacco Campus Maternity Session

By the time you read this blog post, Tyeasha and Jeff have already had their sweet baby girl—Serenity! How sweet—that little girl is loved so much already.

I actually met Jeff about 2 years ago. He was a “stand in” model for my friends catering photo shoot. He played the dad to some of the neighborhood girls in the “dinner” shoot. I was so happy when his girlfriend, Tyeasha, reached out about documenting their pregnancy. They wanted something unique, a tad spicy, but most importantly—full of love. Their session took place at the beautiful American Tobacco Campus in Durham, NC.

To be honest, I am having a hard time nailing down favorites. I love the all black attire between Tyeasha and Jeff, but I also love that fuchsia that comes out in Alley 26! Oh, and the fun street wear on top of the parking deck! I am telling you, there are just so many good gems in this gallery!

An Eno River Family Session in Durham, NC

My favorite part about my fall season is that I get to see some of my very favorite families! I have been photographing Jess and her family for about 4 years now. Each year we choose a different location, but they always come with the best smiles.

This year (fall of 2020) we decided to do their family session at the beautiful Eno River located right here in Durham. It was a beautiful fall day, as you can see from the images, and it was even better that we did it here because there was no foot traffic. YAY for sticking with Covid guidelines!

My second favorite part of their family session was actually after the session when I purchased some of Jessica’s face masks. Yall, she has the best face masks!

Parks Family Photography Session

at the Eno River

Many moons ago (maybe like 3 or 4) I photographed Jenna, Cece, and Donna on a whim at my sisters hair and makeup studio. She had this beautiful green chair that we placed Cece on, and anytime I visit Jenna—Cece points out to me that very photo of herself on the chair. I LOVE IT!

This year, I had the chance to actually do a proper family session with them, and oh my goodness they are the cutest family! I even had the chance to meet Jenna’s dad and photograph him with his wife Donna. These two look like high school sweethearts the way they were together. Makes my heart so happy to see them like that!

We did their family session at the beautiful Eno River, right here in Durham. It was a fantastic morning, and I am so happy with the images that we made that day. Enjoy!
