Meet the PBY Team
Hello Gorgeous!
After working with teens, teaching modeling and acting with a local agency for many years, I came to realize just how much impact the printed photograph has on one's self image. With this knowledge, I set about creating a photographic experience unmatched by any other in the marketplace. Our recipe for a great portrait session starts with a big dose of how YOU want to be photographed, then we add a dash of the fashion model experience that has become our signature style, and sprinkle it with fun! It is my goal that every client feels inspired and confident in their beauty and that they get to experience that through my lens.
I am a busy mom of 4-with children ranging from 17 to 2 years old. With football, basketball, cheer and dance...our family has a lot of moving parts.
When I am not photographing clients or concept shoots, I like to escape into a great story. Most often that is in the form of a movie. I absolutely love to travel and learn about different cultures. But, what gives me the greatest joy is hanging out with my little people and experiencing things through their eyes.
Hugs & High Fives!

Meet Grace
Hi! My name is Grace! I may very well be one of the quirkiest people you'll every know. I love art in every facet possible. That is one of the many reasons why I love this business; because it promotes artistry and creativity and reinforces confidence along the way. I also happen to have a heavily rooted obsession with 90s hip-hop and Frank Sinatra. Not to mention, that I LOVE the 70s era to an unimaginable degree. More than anything, I am deeply in love with Jesus Christ, and He means everything to me. To be a part of a team where creativity is seeping from every pore of the business is a great pleasure!

Meet Jessica
Like many young fashionistas, Jessica's love the glamour began at an early age. She began her training at age 7 and her first clients were none other than Barbie and her friends. By age 14 she had secured a job in an actual salon as the shampoo girl and not long after she was off to cosmetology school!
As a native of Puerto Rico, Jessica has been building her business in Raleigh for three years. In that time, she has studied under masters like Griselle Rosario and studying at Paul Mitchell, Alphaparf and Redken.
