Last week I shared a recap of the February workshop and this week I shared the wedding styled shoot. That means that, last but not least, the gorgeous senior styled shoot is ready to go live today! These shoots are always so much fun because I bring along 5 of my senior spokesmodels to model for the […]
I can’t believe it’s this time of year again!!! Each year, I spend time selecting the BEST images in three different categories: seniors, engagements and weddings. It’s a long and tedious process, but it is always SO rewarding to look back at some of my favorite work from an entire year. Up first I’m sharing […]

Two more AMAZING senior sessions happened last week!!! Savannah and Bekah both have such amazing sense of style…I knew their outfits were not going to disappoint. The bright jewel tones and beautiful colors that they selected could not have been better! We photographed at some of my favorite downtown locations before finishing their session up […]
