A few weeks ago I made this post about my friend and fellow Wolfpacker (holla!) Adrienne Core being crowned Miss North Carolina back in June. And I promised a few images from a photo shoot we did back in May. So, here they are. Better late than never, I always say.
Adrienne and I got up super early one morning and literally just walked around downtown Raleigh looking for little nooks and crannys and hidden spots filled with great light. Intending to only spend a couple of hours, the more we walked, the more we found. We were talking and laughing and had so much fun, before we knew it we were pushing the four hour mark. Nearly four hours of smiling for Adrienne. And nearly four hours with my eye glued to the camera. And honestly, I think both of us could have gone another four hours. Easily.
At least I could have. Adrienne is super easy to photograph. And not just because she is beautiful on the outside – she clearly is! But mainly because she has such a natural warmth and beauty inside that it just radiates through her eyes and her smile.
I think it’s pretty easy to see how she won Miss North Carolina. And I’m excited because, now that she is, we get to do this all over again in the near future.
One of my favorite locations in Raleigh – I just love the architecture and texture of this old building. For some reason, it seems European to me. Like I should get to wear a beret and speak with cool, romantic accent just by photographing there.

This gorgeous light just added to Adrienne’s gorgeousness. W.O.W.!
Who knew an old church could look so good?
