I have been wanting to do a grunge graffiti skateboard senior portrait session for as long as I can remember. Through the years I had imagined doing it in NODA, a trendy neighborhood in Uptown Charlotte where there was plenty of colorful murals or at the skate park in Waxhaw. Recently, the hubs took me […]

One of the perks of being on the NBP model team, maybe the best perk is the group photo shoots. Naturally because it was fall, we chose fall as our theme. This is an easy theme to incorporate for your team because most kids have fall style clothing. We decided to meet at Marvin-Efird Park […]

Every time a mom contacts me for senior guy portraits, it’s usually because they aren’t happy with the pictures they received back from school. So, they call me in for the save!
