Spring is here! And with it Graduation.  And to commemorate this special time, what better way to than with graduation portraits.  I will take pictures of you with and without your gown so you may have some new beautiful head shots for future professional use and for that proud parent or grandparent of yours.

These portrait mini sessions are $100 and include 30 minutes, 30-60 edited images, an online gallery to download images and order prints if you like.  A custom USB is an additional $25.

If you book by the 23rd of March you will receive %20 off!

So if you are located here in the Triangle going to school at Duke , UNC, NCSU  or another nearby school contact me for your headshot/ portrait session: effervescentmediaworks@gmail.com

(Below) And ... the random dude on Duke Campus that wanted to be famous! I told him I would post this ;)






I will work with you and your personality type to capture the kinds of portraits you will want to display.

This happens ALL the time!  I fall so very behind in blogging as well, I am more preoccupied with simply getting my clients pictures out the door!  That is a good thing, but I have so so many adventures to share!  Especially from over the summer of 2015.

Over the course of last summer my husband was in Indianapolis on an internship and I brought the kids to come visit him for about a week or so of that time.  While there we had our own grand adventures in the city and a visit to the nationally recognized Children's Museum.

The more buttons, gizzmo's and gadgets available for my little ones to be excited about the better.  I am going to dive full onto our adventures there here, but if you are into crafting, party planning for your kids, and basically all other things creative as a young bride or mom, feel free to check out my brand new blog devoted more specifically to these things.

Couple | Cameron and Maurina
Date | July 2015
Venue | Private Residence in Southern California
Mountain View Wedding Photographers: Effervescent Media Works

Watching the last baby bird fly away from the nest!  This wedding was especially fun for me as it was my little brother Cameron!  He met his now wife up at BYUI and they couldn't be more perfect for each other.  Maurina is not afraid to be herself and Cameron has a bit of that emo artist in him.  Together they are finishing school.

They had a beautiful rustic chic vintage wedding with many DIY details with the help of the family.  Ivory laces and teal with a mix of light pink, light yellow and light blue.  Pearls and sparkly embellishments dressed it all up.

They were married in her grandmothers back yard under a beautiful tree that held many childhood memories for Maurina growing up.
