Valentine’s Day Photography Specials!

You know, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean crowded restaurants or last-minute panic buying! This February, I’m offering a small number of Valentine’s Day photography specials designed for couples who want something more personal — and for those who may have left it a little late, *cough!*

A couple stands on a red bridge in a lush garden during their Duke Gardens engagement session. The woman, in a light floral dress, smiles as the man, wearing glasses and a white shirt, gently embraces her. The scene is bathed in warm, natural light.

Whether you’re celebrating a new relationship, an engagement, or years together, these sessions are relaxed, natural, and quietly romantic. No awkward posing. No forced smiles. Just honest moments, photographed properly, together with me in a beautiful location.

Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions

A couple gently touches foreheads, embracing on a sunlit path. The woman wears a dark green lace dress, and the man is in a blue suit. Soft dappled sunlight filters through the trees, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere.

Perfect for couples who want a meaningful experience without committing to a full session.

25-minute photo session at Duke Gardens (including Duke’s photo permit fee)
All the fully edited, high-resolution images from the session
Private online gallery with print and download options

Self-Love Portrait Sessions

A woman in a traditional dress stands gracefully amid floral backdrop. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of a Duke University engagement session, softly blurs the background to accentuate her elegant pose and serene expression.

Because you don’t need a plus-one to be worth celebrating

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about couples.

This February, I’m offering Self-Love Portrait Sessions for anyone who wants to step in front of the camera — confidently, comfortably, and without pressure.

These are relaxed, understated portraits designed to feel natural and quietly powerful. No over-posing. No heavy retouching. Just you, photographed well.

What’s included

25-minute portrait session
10 professionally edited images
Choice of outdoor or indoor-style location
Online gallery with print options
Guaranteed delivery within 5 days

Investment: $325
Availability: Contact me me for limited Spring dates

A woman with long, wavy black hair smiles softly, wearing a glittery, sheer top during her Duke University engagement session. The background is a soft blur of autumn colors, suggesting an outdoor setting.

Valentine’s Gift Cards (With Bonus Value)

A black and white photo of a couple embracing outdoors. The woman, in a white tank top, closes her eyes while the man, in a dark polo shirt, holds her gently from behind. Trees and logs are visible in the background.

For a limited time, Valentine’s gift cards include added value:

Buy $300 ? receive $350
Buy $500 ? receive $600

Gift cards can be used toward prints, couples’ sessions, engagement sessions, or future portrait work.

Album Upgrade Special (Past Clients)

A red photo album with a small black-and-white photo on the cover sits open on a wooden table, showcasing Raleigh wedding memories. The album has a white ribbon bookmark. Nearby are closed black and blue albums, reminiscent of professional photographer collections, and a bowl of pine cones.

If you’ve ever meant to order an album — or to gift one — February is a good time.

For a short time, I’m offering special pricing on wedding and portrait albums for past clients who never quite got around to it. Albums make timeless Valentine’s gifts, especially for spouses and partners.

Give me a shout for pricing options!

Availability is limited across all offers, and once February 14th is here, that’s it, the deals are gone!

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy — or something your partner would genuinely love — I’d recommend booking sooner rather than later. Contact me to discuss!
