TWO back-to-back senior sessions on the blog AND my first senior session in Savannah…it’s a GOOD WEEK! Emily and her amazing family drove up from Charleston for her senior portraits last week.

Cicily’s senior portait session was the LAST shoot I did in Charleston before moving to Savannah! I squeezed it in during my last week and am SO glad that I did! The forecast on the day of her shoot kept changing…but we made the decision to shoot despite the storms in the forecast. We shot […]
Anna-Kelley’s senior portrait session was a dream from start to finish…you can barely even tell that it was POURING rain for the majority of it!! When the forecast started to say rain, we tried to schedule her session…but Anna-Kelley was about to leave for college and I didn’t have any availability. So, we decided to […]
