uncc-nc-senior-portraits | cale by Staci Noel


I do a lot of high school senior portraits in and around the Charlotte area but every now and then I get a request for a senior portrait for a graduating college senior which I love! It’s another huge milestone in life and getting a chance to help families celebrate is always an honor. I met Cale on the campus at UNCC where he graduated from the college of engineering the week before graduation. We went to a few of his favorite spots in the UNCC Botanical Gardens and then headed over to the college of engineering where he spent countless hours working towards that degree. I know mom and dad are so proud of all of his achievements and now as he launches himself into his career they have these important moments captured forever! Congrats Cale - it was a blast to work with you:)

Let me tell you when you get to photograph the senior portraits for a beautiful girl that you first met when she was 5 years old when she and her family moved in next door to you, you might tear up during your shoot. Like how is she graduating high school and how does she look like this!!! Mia is all about fashion and had such an amazing sense of personal style she absolutely lit up the sky for our gorgeous sunset sesssion in uptown Charlotte. You’re beautiful inside and out Mia and I’ve loved every minute of watching you turn into this amazing woman! On to your next wonderful adventure and I can’t wait to see the journey you take!

I absolutely fell in love with Kira the first time I met her! She was the epitome of the word bubbly; everytime we met for a session she was positively beaming, Her sweet little smirk made me crack up everytime and we would end up giggling through every set. And oh boy - the sets of images we shot! Camp North End in Charlotte is an amazing backdrop for senior photos and we took advantage of a gorgeous day in North Carolina. We even got to include her shy fur baby in a couple of studio shots! I love it when we can create magic that’s all about the things that are important to you! I also love that mom made sure to tell me that being able to see Kira’s adorable freckles was important to her as photographers in the past had gotten rid of them in images - THE HORROR! I want to showcase everything that makes a client uniquely them!

Kaylee was one of my seniors that I will never forget! I photographed her older sister a few years prior and I absolutely adored working with this whole family so I knew we were going to create some amazing imagery to celebrate her senior year and oh boy was I right! Kaylee knew exactly how she wanted to be photographed and her personality shines through in each of our sessions; including the quick tag on session we did at Hickory Ridge High School to honor her time as an outstanding athlete for the tennis team. I’m so in love with all of her galleries I could hardly narrow down what to post - which is why there are so many images to share here:)


harrisburg-nc-senior-portraits | Jessica by Staci Noel

When seniors come to me with specific ideas or asks for their senior portraits I do everything I can to make sure we create custom portraits that capture those things. It’s such a personal thing to have your portrait taken and this time in your lives is such a specific and fleeting moment. So when Jessica wanted outdoor portraits but said she absolutely had to have creek images I knew we were about to have some fun! Despite it being October and just a tad on the cool side she braved the woods, and the climb down and the chilly water to get images that were jaw dropping in every way!
