I have specialized in senior portraits for 7 years! I was a local senior myself and I have literally been doing senior photos since I WAS a senior. I feel so passionately about senior portraits. This is an age you will want to remember. Unfortunately many of us have nothing to show for our senior year... no photos of what we looked like. It’s your time to come alive in front of the camera! I know what its like going into shoot and it can be super nerve racking…maybe you're nervous about the poses or the planning aspect of it. You can trust that I will have your back in every department. This is a luxury experience that will leave you feeling like an influencer for the day. I have guides and processes to answer any questions you have and fill any blanks.
I love putting together one-of-a-kind photoshoots and helping seniors choose their perfect outfits. I've designed an exclusive senior portrait experience around a love of magazine-worthy style, fun girl time, and a home full of insanely gorgeous images you can't stop looking at.

"I always looked forward to my grad photos all throughout school and dreamed of what they could be and Evangeline really made that come to life. I was anxious that I wouldn’t look good in the photos before I got there and Evangeline made me feel beautiful, just as all the other girls that she’s captured look. All of the poses she has set up are perfect and she’s so talented in every aspect of photography. No doubt, I am going to work with her again. Thank you so much Evangeline "

Frequently asked questions
Why is California pricing higher than North Carolina?
I believe in pricing transparency. Because I’m based in Raleigh now, I have to build travel costs into my California sessions - things like flights, lodging, and car rentals. I’m also a Sonoma County native, so when I return, I bring both my local expertise and the same full experience I give my Raleigh clients. I know these locations and lighting like the back of my hand as I've been shooting here for 8 years. The higher rate reflects the cost of making these sessions possible. For a more accessible session rate, reach out to me to see my associate shooter pricing guide.
When + how will I receive my photos?
Your full gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks of your session — but in most cases, you’ll receive your images well before the 2-week mark! I always aim to get your photos to you as quickly as possible without rushing the editing process, so they’re polished, consistent, and beautiful.
You’ll receive a link to your online gallery via email as soon as your images are ready!
How far in advance should
I book my session?
I recommend booking at least 3–4 months in advance, especially for popular seasons like spring and fall. Always check in with me anyways though because I sometimes have some last minute availabilities I can get you in.
What does a pre-selected location slot mean?
When I offer you a date and time at a specific location — for example, “September 15th at Mount Tam at 5 PM” — that means I’m already scheduled to shoot there that evening and can add you as an additional session at that same spot.
I only take two sessions max per evening at a single location. If you take this type of slot, you’re still shooting during golden hour; you’re simply the earlier time instead of the final slot. The lighting is beautiful, soft, and glowy.
(Golden hour for us typically begins about 2.5 hours before sunset.)
What if the weather is bad??
Weather can be unpredictable — but it’s also part of what makes every session unique and beautiful! Here’s what to expect:
☁️ Overcast skies? Totally normal and often ideal for photos. Soft, diffused light helps avoid harsh shadows and brings out rich, true-to-life colors. A heavy overcast with grey gloomy clouds on the other hand is grounds for rescheduling! If bright sun is a non-negotiable for you that's fine we'll chat about it prior to make sure we can accommodate that.
🌬️ A light breeze? We love it! It adds natural movement and makes everything feel a little more alive.
That said, if we’re facing low visibility (like heavy fog) or strong winds that make it hard for you to feel comfortable or keep your hair in place, we’ll go ahead and reschedule for a better day.
I make the final call on all weather-related rescheduling. I only reschedule when conditions will seriously affect your photos (dark/heavy overcast, rain, or winds 16mph+ with 28mph+ gusts). Normal cloud cover is totally fine and does not qualify for a reschedule. If you prefer a sunnier look, you’re welcome to move your date, but it’s considered a voluntary reschedule and includes a $65 fee.
Can I choose the location?
Absolutely! I provide a curated list of my favorite spots from fields and gardens to coastal views but if you have a special place in mind I'm absolutely open to using it.
How do I receive my photos?
I use an online gallery to deliver my galleries. When your gallery is ready you'll get an email with a link to your beautiful gallery along with instructions on how to choose your photos and download them. It will have info on purchasing any extra photos outside of your package included ones.
