The 9 Best Lifestyle Photographers in Raleigh
The city of Raleigh boasts a history beginning with the earliest days of America’s settlement, and it has since blossomed, welcoming a series of changes. It has even become a center of education, with some of the finest universities in the country. Therefore, it’s no doubt that the residents of Raleigh would rightly be proud of the lifestyles they’ve built for themselves. Today, we explore a genre of photographers whose job is exactly that — helping their clients capture wonderful moments in their lives and families, as well as depicting lifestyles for brands of all shapes and sizes. So without further ado, let’s take a look at the 9 best Raleigh lifestyle photographers working in the “City of Oaks,”
Kelly Hudgins runs Light Creative Art, a photography studio in Raleigh that specializes in newborns, family, and lifestyle photography. What we love in particular are the ‘awwwww’ moments that permeate her work — from adorable lipstick-smooched babyfaces to a father teaching his toddler how to walk.
As far as new parents are concerned, Hudgins’ work falls right into the #relatable and #adorable categories. If you want your chaotic happiness with a newborn represented well and with plenty of love, Hudgins is the Raleigh lifestyle photographer to rely on.
From her Instagram page, it is evident that Becca Rizzo doesn’t just treat this as a job. For her, photography is a calling. She plays witness with the lens to many couples who embark on their own forever afters, all the while faithfully sharing glimpses of her own life with us, with her family, and adorable puppers.
What we admire is the wisdom she often shares on her accounts — proof of a life well-lived and the solid relationships she builds with her clients that go beyond one assignment. With Rizzo, you can be sure that you aren’t just any client, you’re immortalizing your family’s best moments with her help.
Perhaps the most appropriate way to describe Lalani Saleste’s work is hauntingly beautiful. Saleste celebrates the earth, motherhood, and our raw relationship with nature at its best in her photography. Filled with rustic colors and unfiltered clients, she photographs them at complete peace in the midst of nature. Sometimes, it is craggy landscapes, sometimes, in the middle of a lake, and sometimes, a forest.
Her respectful depiction of pregnancy, children, and these close bonds feels like a celebration of womanhood and motherhood. If what you’re looking for is a mystic approach to the bonds in your own family, Saleste is definitely the one we’d recommend.
