“Dear Karina, Thank you so much for making me feel so comfortable at the photo shoot. You are truly gifted and I love my pictures. Thank you so much!”

Teresa Phipps Lane graduated from University of Pittsburgh in August with a degree in Social Sciences and she needed her cap and gown headshots for the announcement to be polished and professional. We also did some fun shots to celebrate this important achievement and to show Teresa’s relief and joy.

Teresa does research in Social Stratification, Cultural Anthropology and Anthropological Linguistics. Her current project is 'Quechua Folklore'. For those of you who may be interested in the topic or just curious: Teresa has a LinkedIn Group with almost 7,000 members, a mix of academics and non-academics - "Linguistic Anthropology". Her primary area of interest is Southern Appalachian Mountain Speech, especially in the region where northwestern NC intersects with southwestern Virginia in the New River area.
