Camera Love | Concept | Fayetteville, NC Photographer


This concept shoot was not mine, but boy! How could I NOT like this shoot? Combining my love of photography with a model who's a photographer AND holding tons of film cameras?! Come on!


Not only is Meagan an awesome model, she's a photographer too! Check out her work HERE!


This shoot was at Carver's Creek State Park. This place is just gorgeous and has awesome hiking trails ... not to mention amazing places to take pictures!


Look at those freckles! I'm a sucker for freckles ... though I am a little bias!


This picture I can't take credit for hahaha! I edited it, but my littlest was on my hip in his sling and he snapped this image. It's slightly off focus, but it gives it that "artsy" vibe! Not bad for his first photograph! ;-)

Back to School Winner | Child | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

This young man's momma won a free back to school mini session! And you know the silly part, she's a photographer herself so this kid knew exactly what to do. LOL I did have to tickle him a tad though because, just like my boys, he knows to give me the cheese smile. LOL


Isn't Methodist University's ground gorgeous?! If I could take clients here all the time, I sure would! Though security might start to wonder when I pull out a desk, props, and a bunch of children file out of a school bus! ;)


 And of course, because she's a photographer and her hubby is on an unaccompanied tour, I HAD to get pictures of her and her baby boys to surprise daddy. I just had to! I mean, how stinking cute are they?!

Peachy Southern Belle | Concept | Ramseur, N.C. Photographer


I had this idea ... and then talking with my other fabulous photographer friends ... THIS happened.


Morgan was the perfect model for this shoot. The peach orchards at Millstone Creek Orchards in Ranseur, NC was perfect. The dress, perfect. The theme, perfect. I mean, besides the heat and humidity ... I couldn't have had a better concept shoot! I loved every moment of it and could NOT stop editing! LOL


Just a southern belle in a peach orchard, relaxing in the shade...




Reading The Love Dare.






(P.S. look at those clovers!! eek!)






I wanted to work on my storytelling ability on this shoot, and I think I did a good job. Morgan definitely helped me out though! ;-)

Peach season is done, but it is apple season! Anyone down for an apple orchard session? Email me at sharilynwellsphotography@gmail.com for more information! :-)

Sunflower Sunrays | Creative | Fayetteville, N.C. Photographer

First ... I mean, there really isn't much to say about this creative session other than W.O.W! It was sprinkling, the blue dress, the yellow sunflowers, the model ... just W.O.W! Tysha, from Tysha Hallman Photo, styled this shoot perfectly.


The lovely Carmen modeled for us out in the humid, wet location with bugs flying all around. She rocked the concept and it was hard coming up with my top 5! You can see more of her modeling work by clicking on her name above.


Do you see the sun rays in the back?! I was GORGEOUS after the rain ... well, when it slowed down at least! ;-)


For the below image, I stayed on the ground and shot at an angle ... Will from Darkroom Portraits actually climbed the wall and layer in the rafters of the barn for some pretty awesome shots. LOL 

Anything for an awesome portrait! ;-)
You can see his photo HERE.

'Holden' onto Love | Lifestyle Newborn | Fort Bragg, N.C. Photographer


I had the absolute pleasure of being invited into this lovely family's home and baby nursery to photograph their newborn son. What a precious little boy he is!! He fought us in the beginning, but once momma fed him and swaddled him up, he gave me this AWESOME image (literally the last image I took while visiting with the family!)! I cannot wait to see this hanging in their home! ;-)


He got rather bored with me and very animatedly show me so. ;-) But Big Brother came in to help feed little brother. He is a fantastic big brother, of course he's had some practice as he's already a big brother to his sister!


Look at those eyes!! He was wide awake the whole session! Lol

Lifestyle newborn images are different in regular newborn portraits as I actually come into your home and photograph baby and family in their natural setting, doing natural things, creating beautiful works of art for your home!

So not only am I photographing baby, I'm photographing interaction. I'm capturing the moment, the memory and letting you remember it for many years after baby is grown an having a family of his own.


 I also take the time to showcase any other hobbies, interests, or sibling fun. Because it IS lifestyle, it's about the family as a whole and how y'all love each other and how your lives grow together in a bond that can't be broken.


And yes, I'll capture moments like this. ;-) Big brother was so proud of this image ... I HAD to share.

Then of course, if you want traditional family poses, of course we can fit that in too!


Don't forget about mom and dad! Look how cute they are! ;-)


I'll also include extended family if they are in town and wish to do so! Gramma and her grand babies!
