After over a decade in this industry, I love that I still get to experience firsts as a senior photographer! Recently I photographed Adaline in Savannah and we enjoyed some dreamy lighting as we navigated busy Forsyth Park to highlight her cool vintage outfits and accessories. In addition to being into fashion, Adaline is also […]

Goodness, Hannah’s senior portraits at Hotel Bardo were truly amazing from start to finish! She traveled all the way to Savannah, GA from West Virginia for her session. What an HONOR!

Adaline’s senior session was my first Savannah shoot in awhile…and it was absolutely gorgeous! Addie wanted the start of her senior session to highlight quintessential downtown Savannah: the Forsyth fountain, Spanish moss and her love of fashion. Then, she wanted to highlight her love of the beach and surfing…which was something I have NEVER photographed […]

It is going to be a FUN few weeks on the blog…because it’s going to be PACKED with summer seniors! We’re kicking it off with Madi’s gorgeous, glowing senior portraits on Hilton Head Island. The craziest part about this shoot? It was scheduled for the week of hurricane Debby. On Hilton Head Island. Right in […]
