I'm Rishelle...
I live in Fuquay-Varina, NC with my family - my husband Heath, my two teenagers... Drew & Tyler and their baby brother, Wyatt... who was our surprise addition in 2019! I earned a degree in Graphic Design from NC State waayyy back in 1996 when digital photography wasn't around yet and my film class was, well, hard. I really started to fall in love with photography when I received my first fully manual {and digital} camera as a young mom and used it to take photos of my kids. I practiced heavily by photographing my pets and my kids playing their sports, but capturing emotions and connections between people quickly became my favorite photos to take. I am constantly chasing that image that has it all >>> amazing light and good composition >>> all around a moment you will want to remember forever.
