RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

the LOCALS SESSION

Real Places, Real Moments

The details

Thoughtfully Designed

The heart behind my Locals Sessions is capturing the moments that unfold in the places your family already loves — wandering a neighborhood creek, sharing ice cream on a warm afternoon, or walking through your downtown core. These familiar spaces create the perfect backdrop for images that feel relaxed, meaningful, and true to your everyday life. As someone who deeply believes that home extends far beyond the walls you live in, I hope to walk you through my creative process with intentionality and ease as we work together to capture this unique season of your life with depth and personality.

Our planning process is designed to feel detailed yet simple. I take time to listen and learn about your family and the places that matter most to you, allowing us to thoughtfully choose a location and structure our time together with care. During your session, my curiosity about the people you love and the ways you naturally connect will inspire where I lean in and how I support your family throughout our time together. This approach blends candid moments with intentionally guided portraits, resulting in a gallery where a meaningful thread ties each image together — honest, timeless photographs that reflect your real life and connection.

Here’s My process

01

After your inquiry, I will answer any questions you might have and we will set a date!

You will fill out a detailed questionnaire where I can get to know your family and we can create a session that reflects the love and joy you all share with one another.

02

We will meet at the location of your choice and create magic together through movement, connection, and just being together.

I am intuitive by nature and will direct your family naturally so that the images you receive are both beautiful and meaningful.

03

Within 2-3 weeks a love-soaked gallery will be sent to your inbox for viewing.

You will be able to download high-resolution images to your computer and hard drive. Next, you can use your print credit and select prints and albums that can fill your home with archival and tangible memories.

  • "Autumn makes magic out of the mundane."

    “She has a very unique eye and perspective. One thing I love about her work is she is able to capture amazing wide perspectives, zoomed out to see the whole picture and freeze the whole scene, and also beautiful and creative cropped tight shots of the little details you don’t want to forget. She is incredibly patient, kind, and talented…. And if your kids are crazy (like mine were haha) she is still able to capture absolutely incredible photos.”

    — Kailen E.

  • "We loved our session with Autumn!"

    “She's talented with her camera skills and she makes it enjoyable to be behind the camera. Definitely recommend!”

    — Marissa S.

  • "I asked Autumn if she could do a photo shoot last minute for our 10th anniversary and she was kind enough to find a spot for us."

    “She was so wonderful to work with, she made it easy and relaxed as we walked around and took photos. The photos came out so beautiful, I couldn’t be happier. She captured exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend booking a photo shoot with Autumn.”
