As I am typing this, I am riding in the car on the way to the CLIC Conference in Alexandria! Woooo! (Shoutout to my dad for driving and making it possible to blog + ride at the same time) Cannot wait for what this week will hold!! I feel so blessed every day to have […]
These two…oh my goodness! Kaitlynn and Brooke are SO beautiful and they’re best friends…so I thought it was only appropriate that I blog their senior sessions together! (plus, they were only a week apart!) Both of these girls are so effortlessly gorgeous, and I had SO much fun at both of their sessions! Kaitlynn wanted […]
Kayla’s senior session was an absolute dream from start to finish!! In her first inquiry, she used the words “light, airy”, and “fairytale”, and I immediately knew that is was going to be amazing!! After she filled out her senior questionnaire, we discussed locations, outfits, and props that she could bring along to personalize her […]
As I am currently on the train ride home from NYC, I just cannot contain my excitement about this post!! This shoot has been secretly in the making for MONTHS and, as we arrived in Times Square on Monday, I was squealing with excitement!! We took this NYC trip for my 18th birthday (woohoo!) and […]
Oh my goodness…this session is a good one!! Simrhan is SOOOO gorgeous and her stunning outfits made this session a new favorite!! We started her session out downtown and explored a little bit before heading over to one of my new favorite locations: a gorgeous, golden-colored wheat field, just in time for sunset!! We got her […]
I first met Brianna when she tagged along at one of her close friend’s senior session last fall, and when she told me she was booking her senior portraits with me, I just couldn’t wait! We have been planning these portraits since last fall but there was ALWAYS a schedule or weather conflict and we […]
It is my first day back from South Carolina and, as fun as the vacay was, I’m SO glad to be home! Six days away from my bed was a little too long! I’m so happy to be sitting back at my computer and getting a chance to work on the gorgeous sessions that I’ve […]
I can’t even begin to describe how much fun this session was! I’ve known Gwen since my freshman year and I was SO excited when she texted me about doing her senior photos in DC! I had never been to see the cherry blossoms before (and I’ve lived here for 8 years…crazy right?!) and it […]
