Friends, food, shopping...if that combination of words sound good to you, then you should check out the Raleigh Housewives in the City social events! They host monthly social and networking events at popular venues in Raleigh, NC and I had the honor to take event photography for them this month. You'll get to enjoy great food, drinks, and shopping and meet talented vendors (who offer giveaways and raffles!). Best of all, these events are FREE! How can you say no to that?

Below includes some of the highlights from June's event at the newly renovated Marriott Crabtree Valley in Raleigh. It's conveniently located next to Crabtree Mall, so if you want to do more shopping you can simply cross the street!

If you are looking for a Raleigh event photographer for your special occasion, feel free to contact me here. I'd love to chat with you about your event!

I had such an amazing time taking family portraits and candid shots for the Triangle Area Parenting Support (TAPS) fundraiser! The event was held on a beautiful farm in Chatham County, and children had the opportunity to pet and ride Belle, the sweetest mare. Oh, and did I mention there were also over 30 chickens? Both Belle and the chickens were a hit with the kids (and parents, too!). Below are a few of my favorite candid shots from the day!

Also, the funds we were raising was going towards TAPS, which is a wonderful nonprofit that offers peer support for new parents in the Raleigh-Durham area. With every new transition in life, there's nothing more powerful, encouraging, and supportive when you're in community, especially with others who are in the same season of life as you! I highly encourage ya'll to check them out!

When I'm not documenting family photos, you can often find me taking event photography in Raleigh. I recently had the honor to be the Official Show Photographer for the Southern Bridal Show produced by Forever Bridal. It was such a fun time capturing candid shots of so many excited Raleigh brides and families, and meeting talented and passionate vendors. Definitely check out Forever Bridal's next show in August!

My favorite part of the event was shooting the fashion show, which you can view more below. One of my tips for shooting events is to look for expressions and gestures to make a photo more interesting. Another tip is to get down low, and capture leading lines. Composing a shot is one of the most important elements in photography, and something ya'll can practice doing even with your iPhones! Stay tuned for upcoming tutorials and workshops on how to capture meaningful images.
