Nina Merklina Photography Now booking Fall Sessions 🍁 | Families • Seniors • Headshots | Chapel Hill 📍 I don’t just take portraits. I don’t chase perfect, I chase true.

I work with families, teens, and professionals to capture something more lasting: a spark, a mood, a story in the making. With 15+ years of experience and a deep love for visual storytelling, I create portraits that are vibrant, natural, and genuinely you. Based in Chapel Hill, I work with clients across Carrboro, Pittsboro, and nearby areas. Whether it's a high school senior on the edge of everyt

hing, a joyful (or chaotic) family session, or a standout business headshot, my sessions are relaxed, honest, and designed to bring out what matters most. What draws me in are faces, gestures, and those fleeting moments that tell a much bigger story. Not just a nice photo, but a memory you’ll return to. That’s what I call a moment made extraordinary.

🍁 Fall is showing up early this year 🍁

The leaves are already starting to turn in Chapel Hill, and it looks like peak color may hit sooner than usual. My usual “sweet spot” (Oct 15–24) might sneak forward, so if you’ve been waiting to book, now’s the moment.

Booking link is here: https://www.merklina.com/fall-sessions

- Flexible dates (we’ll adjust if color/weather shifts)
- Southern Village flat rate, or we can roam to your favorite spot
- Golden hour magic - those sunset slots go first

Let’s catch the color while it lasts, whether it’s your first time in front of my lens or your annual tradition! ❤️

Fall is trying to sneak in, but summer called and said, "Nope, still here". And clearly, so is the sunshine in this girl. She brought the glow, and Merritt’s Pasture at golden hour did the rest. LOVE IT!
