MEET YOUR dream
SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hiii I'm Eve! Long story short I'm a Petaluma, CA native, raised on a farm, fashion/style doomscroller, and sarcastic and giggly. My husband introduced me to North Carolina when we got married! I'm senior photo obsessed! I daydream everyday about how I'm going to create the most elite, never been done before, experience for seniors.
After photographing hundreds of seniors over the last 8 years, I've learned how important it is for seniors to relate and feel comfortable with their photographer. And for that reason alone I'm your gal!
I'm the girl who will help you pick outfits, send a ton of inspo, feed you location ideas, fix your hair when the wind attacks, and spend your entire session reminding how cute you are, all while still be real with you.
SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY
in Raleigh, North Carolina
As a Raleigh senior photographer, I work with seniors across Wake County - including Cary Academy, Cardinal Gibbons, Apex Friendship, Green Hope, Ravenscroft, and TRAVEL!!!
Raleigh offers incredible variety for senior portraits. From open fields and tree-lined trails to Lake Wheeler, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and downtown textures, we can create a gallery that feels cinematic without feeling overdone.
Every session is planned around Raleigh’s natural light and season. I build timelines intentionally so your images feel warm, dimensional, and effortless — not stiff or overly posed.
If you’re looking for Wake County senior portraits that feel calm, elevated, and personal.....
you're in the right place.
WHAT PAST EVANGELINE LISETTE CLIENTS IN RALEIGH HAD TO SAY:
"THE BEST!! I HAD A SHOOT DONE WITH EVANGELINE IN NC; SHE MADE THE EXPERIENCE SO INCREDIBLY EASY. SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT POSES WOULD LOOK BEST WITH THE LOCATION AND MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT BEHIND THE CAMERA. SHE IS A JOY TO WORK WITH, SUCH A KIND, PASSIONATE LADY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PORTRAITS DONE, I 100% RECOMMEND BOOKING WITH HER!"
"We had the BEST experience with Evangeline for my daughter’s senior photos in Raleigh, North Carolina.
From start to finish, she made everything so easy - helping us with timing, outfits, and locations, which I truly appreciate as a busy mom. I worked with Evangeline for both of my daughters' senior portraits. She immediately puts them at ease, playing music and guiding.
The photos are stunning and not stiff or over-edited. Evangeline clearly knows the Raleigh area incredibly well and captured the light and locations perfectly.
If you’re looking for a senior photographer in Raleigh or North Carolina, I cannot recommend Evangeline enough. These are photos we’ll treasure forever."
- Ruth, Lexi's Mom
what makes my senior sessions
unique.
There are a lot of senior photographers, here’s how my sessions stand apart.
No stiff posing.
I don’t memorize 25 Pinterest poses and cycle through them. I direct in real time based on personality, body language, and confidence level. We walk. We spin. We run through hills. We change angles constantly. This keeps images alive instead of posed. I even have a posing masterclass that goes out to all my clients.
Outfit Sequencing.
I help structure outfits based on location, wind, color palette, and time of day so your gallery feels cohesive but it looks like 20 different photoshoots in one day.
Confidence Led Direction
Shy? I know how to ease you in, I used to be you!
Bold? I’ll push creative boundaries. LOL I will have you swimming in the ocean getting the most insane sunset shot you've ever seen.
Zero Anxiety Planning
I have spent hours developing, tweaking, and updating a all-you-need-to-know guide-book that covers absolutely every question I've heard about senior photos. It breaks down topics like hair, makeup, spray tans, making your session unique, posing, moodboards, outfits, shopping, and more! Certain sessions also require planning calls!
Epic Locations.
I've spent 9 years perfecting my location scouting routine, and not only that but scouting specific spots within that location that look the best, have the best lighting, best terrain, even shade, etc.
Strategic Light Contol.
Golden hour is beautiful but it's not the only way! Inexperienced photographers only know how to shoot in golden hour. I love and know how to shoot sunrise, morning, evenings, AND sunset. I change lighting direction and type throughout sessions to get a wide array of unique photos.

THE ULTIMATE
SENIOR DITCH DAY
This is for the senior who wants it allll.
The senior who wants the beach and the cliffs. The downtown coffee shop and the windswept field. The senior who wants to turn senior photos into a full-day memory instead of squeezing everything into a single hour.
We'll spend the day chasing beautiful light, exploring multiple locations, blasting music in the car, stopping when something catches our eye, coffee detours, and creating a gallery that feels like a full modeling portfolio. ANDDDDD did I mention it includeds being pampered with professional hair and makeup??
With four hours together, there's plenty of time to relax, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create a gallery that tells the full story of who you are in this season of life. + no travel fee to shoot at the beach!!

what happens after you
INQUIRE ?
If you’re ready, here’s exactly how it works:
1. Choose your package. Select the session experience that fits your vision. Submit an inquiry.
2. Secure your date. I will respond with my available dates/times. Once we pick a date you'll receive a booking link and a signed contract and retainer will be due to officially reserve your spot.
3. Pre-session planning. You’ll receive my location guide, outfit and prep materials. We’ll refine your session vision together.
4. Meeting info will be sent to you 7-10 days before your session with a schedule and any weather updates.
5. Shoot day. We move intentionally, maximize light, and create variety without rushing. I'll pop my changing tent for outfit changes and we'll handle touch-ups as needed with my massive kit.
5. Gallery delivery. Your fully edited online gallery is delivered within three weeks. From there, you’ll select your included images and have the option to purchase additional digitals or prints.
“I’ve always thought, I want to be the photographer who makes a session feel easy, and guided - never like a Facebook Marketplace pick-up and drop-off.
My seniors feel guided but also free to move around. I pay attention to what can make a session stressful and take those things off your plate so you can actually enjoy the experience. I know how to give clear direction, keep it light, and make sure you walk away feeling confident in what we made."
-Evangeline Lisette
Frequently asked questions
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 3-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!
What if the weather is bad for my senior photos??
Weather can be unpredictable — but it’s also part of what makes every session unique and beautiful! Here’s what to expect:
☁️ Cloudy 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. I know the difference between good clouds and bad clouds!
That said, if we’re facing long periods of rain 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).
How far in advance should I book my session in Raleigh?
I recommend booking 2-5 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.
Where do you take senior photos in Raleigh?
I photograph senior sessions at a variety of Raleigh and Wake County locations, including fields, to gardens, downtown, to the coast. But if you have a special place in mind I'm absolutely open to using it.
Do you travel outside of Raleigh for senior sessions?
Yes. I regularly photograph seniors throughout Wake County, including Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and surrounding areas even as far as the east coast. If you have a specific location in mind, I’m always happy to talk through options and timing.
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.
What are the best months for senior portraits in Raleigh, NC?
The most popular months for senior photos in Raleigh are April, May, June, September, and October. Spring offers fresh greenery and mild temperatures, while early fall brings warm light and softer tones. Summer sessions are also beautiful when scheduled thoughtfully to avoid peak heat.
