Sweet Emily

Emily kind of got roped into this shoot. It started as her sister’s College Senior Pictures. Then we decided, “Why not get a picture of Katie and Emily together?” That quickly morphed into “Why not split the shoot in ½ and get pictures of each sister and some of them together. The shoot was full of laughing, sunshine, and a little wine shared between sisters. Hair: Sara Munson

Katie & Emily

These two sisters are so so fun! They are complete opposites. Katie is outgoing and in the spotlight. She loves all things Hollywood and Broadway. Emily is  Wallstreet, reserved and business minded. To say you could see their personalities come through in pictures is a horrible understatement. Thank you for the memorable evening, girls!  Can't wait to post their individual images in the next few weeks. Hair: Sara Munson

Meet Chelsie (again)

Chelsie is absolutely darling.  I have been taking pictures of her through her Varsity Cheer team for a few years now and it's been so fun.  When she was a freshman she came to Addilyn's 5th birthday party with two other cheerleaders and taught the girls some cheers.  I've loved getting to know her this year.  She is so dang sweet... which she clearly gets from her mama.  I'm so grateful I got to take her senior pictures AND that she was one of my Senior Spokesmodels this year.

Miss Peyton

Peyton.  I adore her.  I have been taking pictures of her with the cheer team for a few years but this year, being able to take her Senior pictures and have her be one of my Senior Spokesmodels allowed me to really get to know her and her sweet mama has been nothing short of wonderful!  I honestly love those two girls and can't wait to see what Peyton will do with her life... because it will be show stopping for sure!  (Bonus, she's heading to my home town for school!!)

Senior Spokesmodels {Class of 2015}

Oh.  My. Goodness.  This shoot was UH-MAZING!  I lost sleep for weeks with all the rain we were getting.  I was so worried about getting my girls out there without them getting dumped on.  Not gunna lie, it rained for the first 20 minutes. But then... then it STOPPED!  YESSSSSSS!  The weather was far from perfect but these girls had so much fun and made the best of it.  Because of this shoot, I am going to start offering Best Friend Shoots.  (Anyone have a catchier name for them?)  Anyway, These girls are adorable.  And beautiful. And sweet.  And hilarious.  Pretty much, I wish I was in high school again so I could hang out with all of them and steal their fab sense of style.  Kaylyn, Peyton, Haley, Chelsie, and Helena were an absolute dream to work with... and I got to work with them all TWICE.  Jack.pot. senior girls pose in prom dresses in an alley with attitude and sass

Sabrina

Sabrina's shoot was a blast.  We shot at a very random location that turned out just stunning!  Then we headed to city streets to finish up with a more urban feel.  She had super cute clothes, accessories, and made sure to have a variety.  She even went bold with bright red lipstick with her last outfit. Thank you for being willing to do anything and everything on your shoot, Sabrina!  And thank you for trusting Tara and me to choose an out of the box location!

Kaylyn

I knew from the moment I met Kaylyn that I was going to adore her.  She brings out the "mommy" side of me with all her family has been through.  It was really neat to hear her side of things as the sister of a brother who fought cancer.  I have often wondered how my girls have dealt with things.  They're a little too young and small to really express, of frankly, even fully know, how they felt being on that side of things.  Kaylyn explained her side...  She's a STRONG girl who is loved by many... including myself. off the shoulder white shirt and water create airy photos

Delaney

Delaney is seriously one of THE sweetest girls I know.  When I first met her she was reserved and a little quiet.  As the shoot unfolded we DEFINITELY saw more of her personality come out.  This is one of the main reasons I like meeting with my clients prior to the shoot.  I don't want the shoot to be the first time I meet them.  With each session I try my very hardest to capture true personalities... and I think I've gotten rather good at it.  (Yep, tooting my own horn...)  Delaney, thank you so much for allowing me to take your senior pictures.  I'm a better person for knowing you!

Sweet Abby

You know when you meet someone and then you meet them again and when you meet them that second time you just know you’re going to love them?  Well, Abby was for sure one of these girls.  I was REALLY hoping she would choose me to photograph her senior portraits, especially when I was able to take her pictures at her Varsity Cheer Squad Shoot  in June.    Abby's session was a new location that looked just BEAUTIFUL from the street.  It's gorgeous close up as well but we ended up naming it "The Ant Hill" because of all the ants!  Never have I need ant hills this big!!

You can tell from the very first time you meet Abby that she’s one of the good ones.  She has a heart of gold, this girl.  Couldn’t love her more!!  Thank you, Abby!!  You’re a doll!

Peyton

When Peyton and I met for our in person consultation she wanted something different.  She wanted a funky location that not all of her friends had.  I delivered on that.  This was a cool location that I got access to from another photographer.  It was a location I was also dying to try so working with Peyton was a great fit!  I have worked with her before a few times and was able to see her awesome personality show through.  Thank you, Peyton, for giving me the opportunity to capture you!
