The 4th part of the Natural Hair Bride Showcase that I worked on with Taji of Taji Salon.
I have known Shaune, the model for this session, since 2017. We have been great friends for some years and she introduced me to many cool people in the area. She was one of the first ladies to go natural among my friends and she introduced me to Taji. She is one of Taji’s natural hairstyle “guinea pigs.” She is a scientist by trade (nerd always in a lab somewhere), so she wouldn’t mind the guinea pig term. 🙂 Taji plays on hair often, so she was a natural choice for the natural hair showcase.
Porsha did her makeup and as usual, her hair was done by Taji Shabu-Jones of Taji Salon in Raleigh, North Carolina. This time around, we did the photo shoot in downtown Durham. It was my 1st Wedding-themed shoot in Downtown Durham. Just like the shoot before this, it was a hot day but Shaune did her thing. 🙂
My awesomely gifted videographer friend, Johnny Jones, also recorded this session to create a beautiful video of the project here – Natural Hair Bride Video. You should check out the video. Beautifully Sick!! 🙂
As a Wedding & Portrait Photographer & lover of natural hair on black women from all over the world, I hope you enjoy this showcase as much as I did. Feel free to leave comments or questions.
