Hello love, I am Zoe Clark, a Maternity and Newborn Photographer in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. I have 2 silly daughters that are going into their teen stages soon. My husband is my best friend and nothing is more important to me than my family. I am a foreigner from a big city, Hong Kong, who loves to cook, eat, travel, dance, and practice yoga. I am “extreme” and “extra” in many ways. Check out my bio below!
Whether you are a working mom with a crazy-busy life or a stay at home mom with toddlers and you are trying to grow your family, I’m here to help you capture and document all these beautiful, precious moments that past by too fast. I’m here to remind you to enjoy every moment with your little newborn because how fast time flies without notice. I’m here to tell you that it’s ok to be on camera when you think you are not in your best shape while you carry your beautiful baby in your belly or you need to lose that 10 or 15 pounds baby weight. Because all of those little moments of details will turn into a memory and we freeze them into all these beautiful images that you and your baby will appreciate more and more as time goes by.
And, like many of you, I struggle with how fast time seems to fly by. That’s one of the reasons I’m in love with photography. When a client tells me, ‘My newborn is growing so fast, she looks different every day.’ I totally get it. Or, ‘I just want to get some portraits taken before he loses those chubby cheeks.’ I get that, too. And I especially get it when someone says, ‘She is already One Year old, it’s crazy how fast the first year went by!
So call me. We’ll plan your session, we’ll have a great time, and you’ll love your pictures!
Primary Photographer
I am the kind of girl who loves to cook beautiful meals but also enjoys fine dining experiences with great company. I love to travel and experience different cultures, but I also love to cuddle with my kids and husband for movie nights on our cozy couch. I love the passionate music, the energetic room, and swift moves from Zumba, but I also enjoy the peacefulness, focus, and strength of hot yoga to ease my mind. I love a cup of refreshing, ice-cold frappuccino but also love a rich, hot latte. I am extreme and extra.
Secondary Photographer/Assistant
Chris is the second photographer, behind the scenes assistant, web developer, jack-of-all trades. Just like his variety of skills that he contributes to Zoe Zen, his hobbies are just as diverse. He loves to play sports, video/board games, draw, game develop, and eat new foods. Ever since he was little has always loved all things Japanese. In 2017 he finally got to visit Tokyo with his newlywed wife (hey, that’s me!) and grew even closer to the culture. Hopefully we will have many more visits in the next few years.
Mini Artist & Creator
Katie is 12 years old and a seventh grader. She is a lovely, delightful, compassionate and cheerful girl. Sometimes she laughs out too loud in public that I have to tone her down a bit. Art, crafts, swimming, reading books and watching TV shows are her favorite activities. She loves to experiment. Often times, she will create something out of elements that she finds around the house which always inspires me.
The Acrobatic Horse Lover
Nikki is 9 years old and a fourth grader. She is a sweet, caring, smart and passionate girl. She is also very competitive which makes her so unique! She loves to flip and tumble, play with her stuffed animals, play baseball, read books, and watch TV shows. Her favorite animals are horses and she could tell you almost everything about them. Her new dream is to be able to travel around the world and write about her experiences when she grows up.
