Maybe it’s the summer season or a renewed excitement after maternity leave, but I am BACK with a BANG, and so excited for a FIRST EVER for you all! This month I am talking all about GROUPS as I bring you along with me for a Group Senior Styled Shoot with the Pink Figgy in […]
How do you pose a senior with a car? I know this seems a little niche, but I hear this question a lot. I get it! It can be overwhelming to do. But if you have a senior who is bringing their own car or renting one for their senior session, this peek into Katie’s […]

Posing one person by themselves can be VERY intimidating to begin with, but add in the fact that this isn’t most senior guys’ favorite things to do, and it just gets even harder. Also, if we’re honest, there just […]
