What’s better than ONE gorgeous senior session on a beautiful fall day in Charleston? TWO!!! I had the privilege of working with Jack and Katie for their TWIN senior sessions last week – and I don’t even know where to begin with how many favorites I have! Jack and Katie traveled all the way from […]

An absolutely BEAUTIFUL Savannah, Georgia senior session with Miss Claire to kick off the fall season! We had an ideal scenario for the start of Claire’s senior session: overcast skies and cooler temps (!!!) – finally starting to feel like the fall in the low-country! Claire wanted to capture the gorgeous, infamous trees at Wormsloe […]

What a BEAUTIFUL way to kick off the fall senior season!!! Sophie’s senior session was my first Savannah session in a LONG time that was not well over 100 degrees. The breeze made it feel like it was in the low 80’s (!!!) which is definitely a MAJOR win for fall weather here in the […]

I photographed Megan for the first time when she was a sophomore in high school, and I was looking for models […]

One of the common themes of the last few weeks has been the RAIN in the forecast for almost every single shoot…and sadly Colleen’s was no different. Colleen was only in town for a few days with her family, and the forecast was back-to-back […]

If you love color, florals and beautiful light – you’re going to LOVE this senior session just as much as I do!!! Alexandra and her sweet family were in town visiting Charleston from their home in Kentucky. Alexandra wanted to fit her senior session in during their trip to capture one of her favorite places […]

So many blog posts have started this way lately…but Talley’s senior session was ANOTHER one that had to be rescheduled because of the crazy rain this month. We pushed this session back a few days and did a last second sunrise shoot to avoid the torrential downpours…and it ended up being BEAUTIFUL! We had almost […]

Taylor’s senior session took place VERY early on a July morning in Savannah…and it was GORGEOUS!!! But, the reason is happened so early? We had to reschedule because of the storms at the absolute last second! We have had the CRAZIEST few weeks of summer storms…and I’ve had to reschedule almost ALL of my sessions […]
