I had the pleasure of recently photographing one of my former students, Avenley, for her beautiful Golden Hour Senior Session in Downtown Winston Salem

Choosing a Location for a Perfect Gold Hour Senior Session

Avenley had a clear vision of what she wanted for her senior session. She wanted beautiful, glowing photos taken during the golden hour. And I was more than happy to make that vision a reality. Choosing the perfect location for the photo session was crucial. We wanted to create a fun and memorable experience for Avenley, while also capturing the beautiful golden hour light that she was hoping for. After considering a few options, we decided that Bailey Power Plant and the roof of the parking deck in downtown Winston Salem, North Carolina would be the perfect spot.

The location provided stunning views of the city skyline and allowed us to take advantage of the golden hour light. As the sun began to set, we were able to capture some truly breathtaking photos of Avenley. The warm, golden light made her skin glow and created a beautiful, almost ethereal, atmosphere in the photos.

Why This Golden Hour Senior Session Was So Special

Senior photos are a very important right-of-passage for high school graduates. It’s a time to commemorate all of their accomplishments and celebrate as they transition into a new phase of life. These photos will be cherished for years to come, serving as a reminder of their youth, their achievements, and the excitement of their future. Photographing former students is such a special privilege for me. I love celebrating all of their accomplishments with them and their families one last time before they graduate and take their next steps!

For Avenley, I wanted to ensure that her senior photos captured all of the magic of this special moment in her life. And with the stunning golden hour light and the perfect location, I’m confident that we achieved just that. It was a joy to work with Avenley. I loved seeing how much she’s grown since I last saw her in my middle school classroom. I wish her all the best as she embarks on this new journey in life.

We're Josh & Alisha

Just two lovebirds, enjoying everyday life.

Photographers. Artists. Creatives. Parents to two. Nerds. Foodies. Lovers. Friends.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! 

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
