We’re
BEHIND THE SCENES
I’ve wanted to be a photographer since I shot sports for the Chapel Hill High yearbook in 1997. I would have never imagined I’d be able to do it right here in my hometown.”
from when I asked LaPlace chef Jeremy Blankenship to blow handfuls of them at the camera, but nothing too crazy, really. I’ll work on that this year. Between Chapel Hill Magazine and Durham Magazine, you’ve shot more than 100 issues. I meet so many photographers who want to do editorial work, but it’s harder and harder to come by these days. Not bad for a hometown gal. Man, I know. I’m so lucky. I’ve wanted to be a photographer since I shot sports for the Chapel Hill High yearbook in 1997. I never would have imagined that I’d be able to do it right here in my hometown. It’s kind of a dream job.
We believe in doing meaningful work with joy

How have changes in your life affected your work? I imagine you are more comfortable photographing kids now than you were five years ago, being the mom of two little boys. I think that’s definitely true. I’ve always been a kid person, but I understand more what they’re into at different ages now, so that helps. I’m also more organized and efficient now, just out of necessity. I never knew a person could have so many lists!
