Gorgeous Jade

I had the pleasure of capturing Jade for her senior photos and we had a blast! She picked a variety of locations and we had so much fun going around town and creating these memories for her! I LOVE LOVE the way her eyes look like crystals in all of her photos.. how can I get mine to look like that???

Whimsical Heather

I just adore Heather and her family! Heather has a whimsical spirit and I just loved that she MADE the dream-catcher that we used as a prop! I shot her sister, Amanda, a couple years ago for her own senior pictures and loved that she was apart of Heather's as well! I just loved capturing these two together and showing their laughter and having fun with each other... sisters make the best of friends!

Stunning Sadielee

Sadie wanted to do something a little different with her senior photos, so she went with a "carnival" inspired theme! Lots of color and so much fun! Sadie had her best friend with her on the shoot which brought out such an easy laugh and smile throughout the day- if you can bring your BFF on your senior shoot you always should! Sadie looked stunning in all of her photos!

Awesome Annika!

Annika is such a beautiful person. I've had the pleasure of getting to know her over the past couple years and she always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude! When it was time to do her senior photos, I knew she would bring those traits to her shoot! The camera loved her, every shot was stunning! Flower halo made by me :)

Miss McKenzie!

McKenzie's shoot started in her grandpa's classic car... how awesome is that?? I loved capturing McKenzie with her grandparents! We also used a flower halo during her session and I think she looked absolutely stunning in it! The flower halo's are custom made by yours truly! McKenzie is also a basketball star... so we, of course, had to incorporate that passion into her senior photos! Such an overall fun senior session!!

Miss Daisy!

Daisy has a love for the guitar and Johnny Cash... so we combined them! She brought her guitar along with her on her shoot and we had lots of fun with it! She then put together various Johnny Cash quotes for me and we compiled them with her senior photos in a magazine! Such a fun way to express yourself and a unique keepsake! Daisy has such a beautiful and genuine smile and I just loved getting to know her this year!

Stunning Shanta

What do you do when you want to incorporate your families heritage with who you are today? You do what Shanta did! Shanta dressed in a traditional dress that all I can say is.... WOW! She looked gorgeous!! I was blown away when I saw her! I couldn't wait to photograph her in it! She stayed true to herself and her beauty shined! We had so much fun on her shoot, and I was so happy to incorporate what she valued and wanted most in her senior pictures!

Gorgeous Darian!

The gorgeous Darian had such a fun variety for her photoshoot! We started out with a natural/grassy location, then urban/downtown followed with a Tuscan vibe! She was so much fun to photograph and every photo was stunning! Darian brought her mom to the shoot and it was great hearing about stories of Darian growing up and making her laugh!

Infectious laugh Bailee!

Bailee has one of the most infectious laughs, its hard not to laugh right along with her! We had so much fun at her shoot showing so many different sides of her. She wanted to show her downtown urban, country and boating roots! Her beautiful mom and sister accompanied us for the photoshoot and even jumped in for a couple shots! This was my first senior shoot on a boat, and now I want to incorporate a boat in ALL my senior sessions! It was so much fun finishing the shoot on the river at sunset! Ahhh... summer :)

The beautiful Annie!

Annie was so much fun to photograph! I loved Annie's style, true to herself with classic and beautiful looks. Her BFF Giulia was behind me (roaring... yes roaring) at Annie that gave her such a genuine laugh throughout the entire shoot! You know you have a BFF when they'll roar for you at your senior session! :)

Fun and Classic Giulia!

I adore Giulia. She brought her own sense of style to her shoot with pops of reds and polka dots! Perfect fun and classic looks for her senior session! Giulia also brought her love of reading and traveling for props- I loved incorporating these ideas with her. What you don't see in these photos is also her best friend Annie who was behind me making this lady laugh the whole day! Best friend, fun props and cute clothes- what else do you need for your senior session?

Super star Haley!

Haley is super duper talented. Not only can she rock it on the soccer field and in track.. she has amazing artist skills too! We had so much fun on her shoot incorporating all her interests! Haley will be graduating with the Class of 2015 and I'm so excited to see where her next chapter takes her!
