Duke Campus with Alex & Emily & Gus
Spring and summer minis are some of my favorite projects every year. It’s also a great time for families to fit in a quick photography session to update their albums and prepare for holiday cards at the end of the year. For Alex & Emily & Gus, this was a cute little moment for them to grab some quick, artful portraits before Emily started her residency and the couple began the long distance chapter in their relationship.
I have often taken many of my Spring minis around Raleigh, such as the Raleigh Rose Garden, but this time we ventured out to Duke Campus. I’ve taken many senior portraits around the area and it’s always fun creating new memories with new clients and seeing what I can do with a canvas that has become so familiar.
Beyond the Sarah P Duke Gardens and the Duke Chapel, there are just so many arch ways and neutral stoned backgrounds that are perfect for portraits. They sat and posed on benches and on the stair wells and we laughed whenever a campus squirrel caught Gus’s attention.
These were the perfect pictures on a beautiful day and will serve as great memories on those tough days of long distance for Alex & Emily.
