After having our first intern with us this past year & it being such a great experience, we were quite thrilled when contacted with interest in opportunities for the coming year!
Please join us in welcoming the very sweet & talented, Gabi Perkins
to the Jen Mink Photography team!
Gabi (Gabrielle) has a serious focus on photography & videography and is quite talented already! Like our Nola Grace was, she is also a student at Longleaf School of the Arts in downtown Raleigh. While at LSA, she has been on the yearbook committee, helping create her high school’s very first yearbook and raises her hand for many opportunities to cover the photography around the school’s activities, events & other needs. At home, she has quite the collection of old camera’s that Jen herself would be envious of! We LOVE following her personal work & artistic eye on Instagram at @keylock1308… you should definitely follow her too!
Gabi actually got a head start on her Senior Internship, starting with us on the Class of 2017 Fab Grad Spokesmodel group session in March of this year! She had even considered applying for the program but decided she’d much rather work on our team WITH us. Jen believes strongly in learning, growing & always bettering yourself and the thought that such an aspiring young talent would want to come learn along side us, was quite touching! We are so pleased to have this opportunity to have her with us. In addition to the spokesmodel session, she’s already shadowed us on our headshot event with the Distinguished Young Women of Wake County, Nola Grace’s Mother/Daughter Session and her own close friend, Leilani’s individual Fab Grad VIP Session. Throughout, helping to capture behind the scenes images & video and lending a hand wherever else she saw need. She also captured our Launch Party event… stay tuned for that blog soon!!
We are SO very pleased to have Gabi on our team… her sweet smiles and sincere desire to learn are pretty awesome! We simply adore her already, are looking forward to getting to know her more and watching her grow!!
Thank you, Jen Mink Photography! Gabi is one of our granddaughters and we have been so impressed over the years with her love of photography and her dedication to it. We are thrilled that she has been awarded this opportunity to work with you and learn from you! Jack & Sandy Bennett.
