Husband. Father. Podcaster. Photographer.
Hey, I’m Gavin, a professional photographer here in the beautiful city of Charlotte, North Carolina. While I specialize in maternity, wedding, and engagement portraits, throughout the year, I also capture families and graduation photos! While studying Computer Software and Information Systems at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I fell in love with photography. Through numerous photography courses at the Light Factory, I quickly noticed my love for photographing a variety of subjects. I eventually found my passion for photographing wedding celebrations and expecting mothers and opened my first studio. Witnessing love in various stages allows me to create these heartfelt portraits and I feel truly blessed.
What Is It Like Working With Me
No matter the shoot, we’re going to have fun! At Gavin Boulware Photography, I truly believe that the best photos come from a place of comfort and enjoyable interactions. I know that being in front of a camera can feel a bit intimidating, but my goal is to make you feel at ease. Throughout your photo session, we may make some jokes, play some music, or even test out your acting skills for a few silly shots. The key is to keep things light-hearted and stress-free. Whether we’re shooting in a studio or on location, I like to start with a casual chat to get to know you better and help you settle in.
