Pictures tell a thousand words, ​but sometimes you need a few words to understand the story.

Behind the scenes vs. finished product

So it's not often when I get a behind-the-scenes shot, but when I do, I cherish it because it helps me see how I can improve. Yes that's right, I said improve—admitting I'm not a perfect photographer and that there is always room to grow. For example, when I look at the above scene, I think, "Hmmm, I should've taken them off the cross a little bit so that we could see more of the beautiful cross in the background." Perspective is everything and can make a photo pop that much more. I do love that I went up close and personal on this family shot below because it's more intimate and you feel the colors from the clothing, city skyline, flowers and lime green grass. I also like offering these photos as a chance for you to see that I exist, that I might not be the most active social media user but I work hard in the background to give you the best I can give.

    Helen w. powell

    I was born and raised on the Outer Banks, and went to school at UNC-Chapel Hill for college while working summers with a local professional wedding photographer. I taught art in Atlanta, GA for a year before coming back to the OBX to start my dream of owning my own photography and graphic design business.  My husband, Jess and I met on the OBX in 2015 and moved to Wilmington, NC in June 2017  and are proud to call it our forever home. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me on my beach cruiser or fishing on our boat or surfing (terribly) at Masonboro Island. Ready for an adventure near and far so don't hesitate to give me a shout!
