Elizabeth Amber Graham

Magic Maker

Hey There!

I’m Elizabeth Graham - a preschool teacher, mother to 3, and lucky enough to get to photograph families and newborns in Cary & Raleigh, North Carolina and the Triangle. I specialize in capturing memories of you and your family - chaos and all.

There are so many wonderful places to play and make magic in the Triangle, or I can come to you and we can create memories that include your home. This is the place your family spends so much time, the place your children learned to walk, and probably where you are the most comfortable. It will be all be a part of this time capsule of your life in this moment - the beautiful and the wild stage of family life.

When we moved to Raleigh nearly 9 years ago, were far from family, living in cramped spaces with young kids and noticing how quickly life was moving, I started taking daily photos of my 2 boys to give me something to fill my creative drive every day. It was hard at first, finding the light in this messy, dark phase of life, but it helped me fall deeply in love with Raleigh and Cary, and gave me a great appreciation for the stage of life we were in - including all the imperfections.

Now we live in a home full of light, and if you could peek into my home you’d see dress-up clothes, pokemon cards, endless piles of artwork, and 3 kids in constant motion. My home is my place. As an introvert, it’s where I recharge, and where kids pile on top of me or jump over me while I try to relax. I would have it no other way and I’m already mourning how quickly it feels like we are phasing out of the mayhem of life with young kids. Our homes are FULL of memories, and as someone who has moved more than a few times, I know that NOW is the time for a session in your home. Don’t wait - this imperfect, chaotic stage is important!

With more than 13 years in this business, I've seen it all and almost nothing phases me anymore. I will pull out all my tricks and games to get those giggles, grins, and shrieks of laughter. As a preschool teacher with a class full of 3 and 4 year olds, I am an expert child-wrangler and can coax a smile out of nearly any grumpy kid.

Your job is to relax and play while I do my magic!
